Homer and Marge Simpson have denied they are divorcing after 26 series of cult show The Simpsons.

In a video posted online, called Together Forever, Marge Simpsons says: “Homie and I are here to address baseless rumors that we are going to split up.”

The rumor mill kicked in after Al Jean, one of the original writers of the show, said that there could be a legal separation for the pair.

Al Jean made the comments in an interview with Variety magazine, which discussed various future storylines.

Homer Simpson then goes on to ask why “news media guys can’t cover more important things”.

“Now listen here, Marjorie and I are as solid as a rock,” he adds.

However, Al Jean tweeted: “@thesimpsons #EverySimpsonsEver Re: season premiere, Bart’s “death” click bait headlines may not reflect truth. U r playing into our hands!”
