Sarah Palin may have left her seat as governor of Alaska – but she’s not leaving her marriage.

A rep for the former GOP VP candidate has issued a statement slamming claims that Palin is divorcing her husband of more than 20 years, Todd Palin, amid reports of infidelity on both their parts. Speculation began to mount about the state of the Palins’ marriage after the then-governor arrived at a state-funded picnic without her wedding band late last month.

“Yet again, some so-called journalists have decided to make up a story. There is no truth to the recent ‘story’ (and story is the correct term for this type of fiction) that the Palins are divorcing,” spokeswoman Meg Stapleton said in statement posted on Sarah Palin’s Facebook page on Sunday.

“The Palins remain married, committed to each other and their family, and have not purchased land in Montana (last week it was reported to be Long Island),” the statement continued. “Less than one week ago, Governor Palin asked the media to ‘quit making things up.’ We appreciate that the more professional journalists decided to question this story before repeating it.”
