Why would they even release that statement? It's no one's business, no one asked and no one needs an answer.

[Strywever]

Usually, it's because a tabloid has gotten hold of the story and the subjects of the story want to manage its release themselves.

[Damaven]

Since it is out, let's just pray for the best.
