Rob McElhenney and Kaitlin Olson are doing great!
After an online rumor that the two Philadelphia is always sunny stars were going their separate ways, Olson, 47, denied claims that she and husband McElhenney, 46, had separated and that he had an affair.
“I was the one who had the affair. But it wasn’t with someone from Wales,” she began in her Tweeter, sharing a post by Perez Hilton on the speculation. “It was with a whale.”

Olson didn’t stop the humor there, adding, “I’ve always loved whales. They are the bosses of the ocean and I am drawn to power. She then ended the tweet with the quintessential celebrity breaking line: “We ask for privacy as we navigate this difficult time.”
McElhenney shared his own tweet, which referred to Olson. “Sad to admit the rumor is true,” he joked. “However, some details are…. Incorrect.”

A source told PEOPLE, “It’s an incredibly ridiculous rumor, so they decided to have fun with it.”
Olson and McElhenney tied the knot in 2008 – just three years after their dark comedy sitcom, Philadelphia is always sunny, created on FX. They now share sons Axel Lee, born in September 2010, and Leo Grey, born in April 2012.
The couple’s popular show is currently in its 16th season. It follows the daily shenanigans of Philadelphia bar owners Charlie Kelly (Charlie Day), Mac (McElhenney) and Dennis (Glenn Howerton). Olson plays Dennis’ sister Dee, who is the pub’s main bartender. Danny DeVito also appears as Frank Reynolds, aka Dennis and Dee’s legal father.
