Reports that Gwyneth Paltrow is cheating on her husband Chris Martin with entertainment lawyer Kevin York first appeared Monday, February 17, 2014 on Whisper, an anonymous secret-sharing app, reports Huffington Post.

The news was then shared by Whisper App's Twitter page captioned, "Gwyneth Paltrow is cheating on Chris Martin With entertainment lawyer Kevin Yorn (Your heard it here first)" #whisper."  Neetzan Zimmerman, Gawker's editor and Whisper's EIC said the information came directly from someone close to Gwyneth.

Zimmerman was quoted as saying, "I can't reveal their identity for obvious reasons, but it's a person with extremely close ties to Gwyneth who came to us directly after Graydon Carter wrote that missive about why VF walked away from the Paltrow profile last year," Zimmerman told Gawker after the Paltrow cheating rumor went viral. "I have no reason to suspect they're lying about this, and if anyone would know the truth, this person would," according to Hollywood Take.

The claims were allegedly supposed to appear in last year's issue of Vanity Fair -- an "epic takedown" that would expose Paltrow's affair with Elle Macpherson's husband Jeff Soffer. The article titled, "The Paltrow Affair" was later nixed by editor-in-chief Graydon Carter.

Paltrow supposedly fought Carter as well as Vanity Fair and claimed that the issue is not as "epic" as everyone had assumed it would be.

A rep for the "Iron Man" leading lady told Mail Online that "the story is completely false. Gwyneth knows Kevin casually through business contacts," and her publicist, Stephen Huvane, called Whisper's report "a fabricated story with no credibility at all."

Huvane told Gawker, "The only time Gwyneth has even recently seen Kevin Yorn (who she knows only casually through business contacts) was on a flight from NY-LA. Gwyneth was flying with her assistant and the CEO of Goop and Kevin coincidentally was also in the first class section. I cannot be more clear with you when I say she is NOT having an affair with Kevin Yorn and I will be notifying her attorneys as well."
