Later, Rose debunked all the cheating rumors. 

He stated:

"In my personal relationship, it was laughable to me, to see [Molly Qerim] and I mutually part ways, be in accord about why we're parting ways, and still see people speculating on why. Not only speculating — in particular saying it was because her and Stephen A. Smith had a relationship".

He admitted that the cheating speculations bothered him. Rose also stated that it was a mutual decision, and though they are no longer together, there will always be respect for each other.
