Larry King is speaking out about wife Shawn King's alleged affair.

“I've been in the business now maybe 60 years and I've dealt with rumors long time. [I've] interviewed people involved with rumors, and rumors are what they are — rumors,” Larry said in a joint interview with Shawn that aired Friday on Hallmark Channel's “Home & Family.” “And to tell you the truth, I don't pay any attention to them.”

The National Enquirer reported this week that Larry's wife of 19 years has been carrying on a yearlong affair, with Page Six revealing his identity as communications specialist Richard Greene. Despite a brief breakup, the tabloid claimed Shawn “was trying to desperately arrange a passionate hookup with her lover via Facebook sex messages” as the story went to press.

Lawyers for the couple called the Enquirer's report “inaccurate.” Shawn said in Friday's interview, “You just have to develop a shell around yourself and not get hard on the inside. And stick together.”

Despite the united front Larry, 82, and Shawn, 56, showcased for the cameras, as an insider told Page Six, the couple not only sleep in separate bedrooms inside their Beverly Hills estate, but their marriage has effectively been over since about 2010. They wed in 1997.
