Whitney Duncan will survive those nasty infidelity rumors!

Contrary to reports, the 27-year-old country singer and Survivor: South Pacific star wasn't committing adultery when she fell for Keith Tollefson on the show.

"Whitney and Keith did not expect to fall in love on the show but they did," a source tells Us Weekly exclusively. "She is divorced and never lied to her ex about falling for Keith. She told him the day she returned from Survivor. Whitney and her family have had a very trying year."

"I think learning about her cousin being abducted the same day she found out she would be on Survivor gave her a new perspective on life and love and made her realize that life is too short to be unhappy," added the source. Duncan's 20-year-old cousin Holly Bobo was kidnapped in April and her whereabouts are still unknown.

    Whitney was still secretly married when she fell in love with her costar and when she was voted one of country musics hottest bachelorettes in Country Weekly this year! Talk about deception! To use the disappearance of her cousin as a possible excuse for her actions is pathetic and sad. US needs to check their sources and facts before printing stories. The divorce will not be final UNTIL the papers are properly filed. I live close to the town where Holly was abducted from and it's sad everytime I drive through the town and see all the pink ribbons. I PRAY everyday for her SAFE return to her family. I no longer let my daughter leave for school without standing at the door and watching her drive away. No family should have to go thru what the Bobos are ever! Keep praying for Holly until she's home where she belongs!

    This story is the "lie" of deception. "She is divorced and never lied to her ex about falling for Keith. She told him the day she returned from Survivor." Why would she tell him anything if they were ex's. Whitney's HUSBAND was not "her ex" at the time the affair began> MAJOR DECEPTION. Reports are that they "divorced" Nov 8 2011, well after the adultery took place. Whitney is obviously using the sad story about her cousin to deflect from her disgusting betrayal of her husband!
