It's Always Sunny Stars Shut Down Cheating Rumors In The Funniest Possible Way
It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia stars Kaitlin Olson and Rob McElhenney did what they do best when the online rumour mill questioned the stability of their marriage: They turned it into comedy.
“It was me who had the affair,” Kaitlin tweeted on Monday, linking to an article in a celebrity gossip blog.
“But it was not with someone from Wales. It was with a whale. I’ve always loved whales. They’re the bosses of the ocean and I’m attracted to power. We ask for privacy as we navigate this difficult time.”
The blog article suggested the couple had separated because Rob cheated on Kaitlin in Wales, where he co-owns a soccer team with fellow actor Ryan Reynolds.

Rob then chimed in, too.
“Sad to admit that the rumour is true,” he tweeted, sharing his wife’s post. “However some of the details are…. incorrect.”
The couple married in 2008, three years after the premiere of their hit comedy series, It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia.
They have two sons, Alex Lee, 12, and Leo Grey, 11.
Rob created the show, and stars in it along with his wife, Charlie Day, Glenn Howerton and Danny DeVito. It’s currently in its 16th season.
