Following news in the US media saying their wedding is on the rocks, the 'Newlweds' stars have issued a declaration insisting they are still together. .

Jessica's spokesman, Brad Cafarelli, said on the couple's behalf: "Nick and Jessica have not separated. Rumors to the contrary are simply not true". The couple hit back after America's Us Weekly and Life & Style magazines both ran cover stories claiming they had split up.

According to Us Weekly, the pair - whose last public appearance together was on September 11 - separated two months ago, while Life & Style claims Jessica was spotted on a flight, crying to her personal assistant: "Nick doesn't want me anymore!" .

Earlier this year, Jessica's father, Joe, admitted the couple had considered splitting, says Jessica's father - but insisted they are not divorcing. He said at the time: "Do they fight? Hell yes, they fight.

"It's the same with me and my wife If fighting is a sign of divorce, then we're all going to get divorced"
