Zellweger filed for an annulment from Chesney last month. The couple married in a surprise Caribbean island ceremony in May after first meeting in January.
Chesney tells the magazine he has learned that he needs to be more patient. "'I need it all and I need it now' was my mentality before. I used to rush everything to get it done."
