Kaitlin Olson and Rob McElhenney have remained a happy couple in 2023, despite online rumors suggesting otherwise. The speculation stemmed from DeuxMoi, an Instagram account known for celebrity gossip, which hinted that two married co-stars from a long-running sitcom were heading for a breakup due to infidelity. While this description pointed to Olson and McElhenney, who married in 2008, it was not true.
Instead of denying the rumors through her representative, Olson humorously took the blame for any supposed affair, tweeting in July 2023, “I was the one who had the affair,” and jokingly noted that it was with a whale, a nod to her love for the creatures. She requested privacy while addressing this “difficult time.”
McElhenney playfully responded to the rumors as well, confirming that there was some truth to the speculation but correcting inaccuracies in a tweet.

He expressed his affection and added a personal touch with a tattoo dedicated to her.
The couple also made appearances together, such as at the 2024 Emmy Awards, where they presented an award and participated in a lighthearted red-carpet interview.
