Emily Blunt on Michael Buble Cheating Rumors: ‘It’s Complicated’

“Emily is a beautiful and loving person, and I’m grateful for the time I had with her, for the relationship,” Michael told ET Canada. “Without it, I wouldn’t have had a chance to fall in love with myself enough to be with a woman like my wife. It didn’t end because of cheating. It ended because we weren’t right for each other, and we are now exactly where we’re supposed to be in our lives.”

Speculation on the separation was sparked when Blunt participated in a recent interview for the Howard Stern Show to promote her new movie Sicario. The chat took a personal turn when the shock-jock brought up rumors that infidelity caused the split. “It’s complicated,” Blunt laughed, leaving the cheating rumors alone. “I never want to talk about it.”
