Rob McElhenney and his longtime wife, Kaitlin Olson, have responded after it was claimed over a blind item that the duo had split after McElhenney cheated on Olson.
Both McElhenney and Olson humorously responded and declined the things mentioned in the blind item. Olson first responded via her Twitter handle by sharing an article that covered this blind item.
In the embedded article, she jokingly that it was she who had the affair, but it wasn’t with someone from Wales; it was with a whale, as she always loved whales. Her whole tweet read;
“It was me who had the affair. 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.”
McElhenney then his wife’s tweet and wrote, “Sad to admit that the rumor is true. However, some of the details are…. incorrect.” Well, then, it’s settled that there isn’t any storm in McElhenney and Olson’s marital relationship.

Speaking about the blind item, it was an exclusive blind item from DeuxMoi that claimed the reel plus real life couple had ended their marital relationship after it was found that McElhenney was cheating on Olson somewhere in Wales.
McElhenney co-owns Wales-based Wrexham A.F.C. – the world’s third-oldest professional football (soccer) team – with Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds. So, netizens directly thought McElhenney was the man mentioned in the blind item.
As for why people didn’t think it was Reynolds, the Canadian actor hasn’t been featured in a long-running sitcom in which his character is married, a thing that has been clearly mentioned in the exclusive blind item.
Coming over to the content of DeuxMoi’s blind item, the pseudonym, email, and subject used in it was “sometimes stormy,” “sometimesstormy@aol.com,” and “not always sunny,” respectively.
All of the used pseudonym, email, and subject in the blind item refers to the American sitcom, It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia, a show that was created by McElhenney and in which his and Olson’s characters, Ronald McDonald and Deandra Reynolds, are a married couple.
Moreover, the message of the blind item also referred to the same show as it read, “apparantly two married costars of a popular and long running sitcom have quietly separated after the husband cheated on her in Wales.”

When DeuxMoi posted this blind item, it was also posted on Reddit by a user, and it sparked mixed emotions among the netizens. One fan wrote, “She used to regularly update her insta, but it’s gone dark for almost a month now. I hope this isn’t true.”
“I genuinely would not be surprised at all. Love the show and love Kaitlin but rob gives me enormous douchebag vibes,” another added.
Furthermore, more than half of the Redditors were shocked to hear this. One commented, “I’ll be [explicit] shocked, Rob seems like the antithesis to the type of person to do so. Hoping it’s not true, and they can bring it up as a stupid joke on the podcast.”
That said, many netizens were hoping for this blind item to be false, as it is with many blind items and other news from DeuxMoi. And as it turns out, it was indeed a false blind item.

Coming over to their relationship, McElhenney had a crush on Olson long before she joined the cast of It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. And when she did join the show, things began to move forward.
The couple officially began dating in 2006 and got engaged in December 2007. McElhenney proposed to his then-girlfriend after taking her to his friend and co-star Danny DeVito’s Malibu beach house. “She loves the beach when it’s cold,” he told InStyle in 2015.
And on September 27, 2008 – less than a year after being engaged – the love birds walked down the aisle and shared their wedding vows. Their wedding was held at a Malibu-based vineyard and was attended by close friends, family members, and some dear co-stars.
Since their wedding, everything has been running fine for the duo as they settled in from co-stars to lovers to a married couple. And they became parents as well when they welcomed their first child, a son named Axel Lee, on September 1, 2010.
McElhenney and Olson welcomed yet another child when the latter gave birth to their second son on April 5, 2012. The couple’s second addition was named Leo Grey, born at their Los Angeles house.
Fast forward to 2023, the parenthood and marital relationship of the couple has been going well. But things might change if McElhenney did cheat on his wife, aka if there is some truth to DeuxMoi’s blind item.
