When rapper turned actor LL Cool J stopped by the OK! offices on Monday morning, we had to ask him about the nasty online rumors that there's trouble in his marriage to his wife Simone. And the 40-year-old star said those reports couldn't be further from the truth.

"I promise you, I’m not breaking up," he told OK!. "Kill that rumor."

So what about the photos of him out and about without a wedding ring? "To be honest with you, I’m getting my wedding ring upgraded," explained LL, who just celebrated his 14th wedding annivesary on Aug. 7. "I’m getting it hooked up... She’s going to get hers upgraded too."
