Kate Beckinsale without her wedding ringKate Beckinsale without her wedding ringThere's all sorts of chat around that things aren't hunkydory between Kate Beckinsale and her husband Len Wiseman.

But whilst we may have spotted the British actress without her wedding ring of late - she's definitely denying the recent affair rumours.

"There's a made-up story where I'm supposed to have gone rushing off to England for a secret tryst with a male friend," IMDB report Kate as saying.

"Well, it's actually my friend's husband and they've just had a baby. Supposedly I took advantage of the swollen ankles and moved in for the kill.

"We have a good giggle about that one. I keep sending my friend emails saying, 'But your husband is a fantastic shag, isn't he?'"

Kate and Len WisemanKate with hubby Len WisemanIn a recent magazine interview, the Underworld star revealed that she and Len were perfectly happy, thank you very much.

Perhaps the reason she's recently been seen without her wedding band is because she took it off to do the washing up and forgot to put it back on.

See, there is an innocent explanation for everything.
