All the news reports refer back to the story from the tabloid Daily Mail online. This does not give the story credibility. This is the news media jumping on an unsubstantiated story because it is attention grabbing. Before Clooney got married the same type of thing happened, for which the Daily Mail had to issue a formal apology. Any reputable news source will meticulously check facts and confirm with multiple sources. That hasn't happened in this case. I think it is pretty interesting that people are drawn to these sensationalist stories about celebrities and are willing to believe just about anything.
