"Chicago" actress Renee Zellweger has slammed reports that her marriage to country singer Kenny Chesney is in trouble.

According to British newspaper Daily Mail, the couple have barely spent time together since they got married. The actress and the singer had got married after a whirlwind four-month romance.

A friend of Zellweger's was quoted in the paper as saying: "The realities of married life are hitting them both awfully hard. Renee had no idea how involved in every aspect of her life Kenny would want to be. She'd never even seen him lose his temper before the wedding, but now he seems to think he can tell Renee what to do, what to wear, where to go and who to see. He doesn't seem to like her hanging out with her old friends."

Zellweger's publicist Nanci Ryder has laughed off the rumours saying their relationship is "great". Meanwhile, Chesney's spokesperson Holly Gleason has said: "He's focusing on what he does best: making music."
