Always Sunny: McElhenney, Olson Have Whale of a Time with Rumblings

It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia stars Rob McElhenney & Kaitlin Olson had fun spininng a "whale" of a tale in response to gossip reports.

Okay, we will readily admit that when we're covering FXX's Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day, Glenn Howerton, Kaitlin Olson & Danny DeVito-starring It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, gossip nonsense about the cast's personal lives never comes into play. But when it involves Olson & McElhenney's marriage and the duo's willingness to hit social media to shred the rumblings, then we're ready to ride along. In what can – at best – be viewed as a very screwed-up way of being seen as having "made it," gossip sites began running a report that Olson and McElhenney had separated after McElhenney allegedly had an affair while over in Wales to support his and Ryan Reynolds' soccer club, Wrexham AFC. Well, it didn't take too long before the couple responded in exactly the way "Always Sunny" fans would've expected.

"It was me who had the affair. But it was not with someone from Wales. It was with a whale," Olson "confessed" in a tweet. "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." Following Olson's lead, McElhenney added in a tweet, "Sad to admit that the rumor is true. However, some of the details are…. incorrect" (with a retweet of Olson's response).
