Last week, the tabloids were abuzz with news that Chelsea Clinton, 30, and her hubby Marc Mezvinsky, 33, were on the rocks. Fueling the fire were whispers that the couple had gotten into a shouting match, and the news seemed all but corroborated when Marc quit his job as an investment banker and hightailed it out to Wyoming to ski.
Friends of the couple were quick to quash the rumors. According to People, one insider said, “Any report suggesting that there is trouble in the marriage is absolutely false.” Even so, Chelsea’s rep declined to comment, and both members of the couple were largely silent.
Last night, however, the happy couple reunited for the first time since the story appeared at the American Foundation of AIDS Research Gala in New York City. Though Chelsea declined to speak with the press line, the duo’s lovebird behavior throughout the event put an end to any lingering speculation. They were reportedly holding hands and dancing throughout the evening.
At the event, Chelsea introduced her father, former President Bill Clinton, who was being honored for his work fighting AIDS/HIV. They were joined by a wealth of other celebrities, including Blake Lively, Richard Gere, Michael Kors, Al Roker and Donna Karan.
The charity event ushered in New York Fashion Week, which officially gets underway today. – Sam LaCroix
