Lisa Rinna is addressing long-running rumors about her husband Harry Hamlin as she reflects on their decades-long marriage in her upcoming memoir.
In You Better Believe I’m Gonna Talk About It, the former Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star responds directly to speculation that has circulated for years about Hamlin’s alleged affairs.
Rinna, who married the L.A. Law actor in 1997, writes that many of the claims she’s seen online appear to be attempts to stir controversy around their relationship.
“While most of our fans appreciate our solid partnership, there’s no shortage of online trolls who seem to exist solely to spread negativity and concoct rumors,” she writes in the book.
Rinna also acknowledges that stories about celebrity relationships often attract attention, even when they are unfounded.
“I get it,” she adds. “Conflict sells better than harmony.”
In the memoir, Rinna takes a lighthearted approach to some of the more unusual rumors that have circulated about her marriage over the years.
“I can’t help but chuckle when I come across stories claiming we’re living apart, or that he’s juggling multiple affairs in Canada, or that he’s secretly gay,” she writes.
Rinna and Hamlin share two daughters, Delilah and Amelia. The couple has frequently spoken about the importance of trust in maintaining their relationship.
In the book, Rinna says that trust has always been a central part of their nearly three-decade marriage.
“Harry’s fidelity has never been a concern for me,” she writes. “Neither of us is the jealous type.”
She adds that the rumors have never seriously affected how she views their relationship.
“The affair rumors always struck me as bizarre because it’s something I’ve never even considered,” she writes. “I’d be utterly shocked if I discovered he was unfaithful.”
