Since they were spotted, both have denied claims of anything sexual happening between them. However, fans have been debating on these claims ever since.

Not long after her husband’s reports being all lovey-dovey with his co-star surfaced, his wife, Catherine Fitzgerald, spoke on the matter.

FitzGerald came out with her husband, West, and insisted that the images meant nothing and that they had no issues with it at all.

They released a letter they both wrote which said;

“Our marriage is strong, and we’re very much still together. Thank you.” She again added that this didn’t faze her, and all the issues have been settled with her husband. This did not seem to be entirely accurate to fans.
