"Homie and I are hear to address baseless rumors that we're going to split up," Marge says in the clip.

The rumors about a Simpsons divorce gained traction after executive producer Al Jean told Variety this month that the show's upcoming season will feature a storyline about Homer's feelings for his pharmacist.

"In the premiere, it's discovered after all these years Homer has narcolepsy and it's an incredible strain on the marriage. Homer and Marge legally separate, and Homer falls in love with his pharmacist, who's voiced by Lena Dunham," Jean said.

Jean's comments sparked fears that one of America's favorite fictional couples would be calling it quits.

The show's official Twitter account already denied the rumors, leaving Homer to mull the nation's fascination with celebrity relationships.

"Can't those news media guys cover more important things like Lebron's junk?" he says in the video.
