Lost star Matthew Fox sat down for a chat with the May issue of Playboy and it didn’t take long for the conversation to turn to recent tabloid rumors which claimed Fox had bedded a twentysomething stripper unbeknownest to his wife of almost two decades.
In February, exotic dancer Stefani Talbott told In Touch Weekly that she met the father of two in the summer of 2009 when she was working at Stars Cabaret in Fox’s native Oregon. Talbott claimed she had unprotected sex with the 43-year-old hunk at his rented home.
At the time, Fox’s publicist, Danica Smith, dismissed Talbott’s allegations as the ramblings of “some stripper’s attempt for financial gain.” Matthew is emphatic that he would never be unfaithful to his wife Magherita, because she is “the love of my life.”
“The story is not true, and I’m not going to comment on it. (My wife) Margherita and I have been best friends and best lovers. She’s the love of my life. We have managed to both be intensely independent and maintain that strength in our relationship. I am a man, and I am an appreciator of women. At the same time, Margherita is the shit. I can honestly say we’re good together. We’ve been together for 23 years, so let’s leave it at that.”
