Dec. 17 2010, Published 7:14 a.m. ET
If Julia Stiles plays Michael C. Hall's on-screen lover on Dexter then she must be his real-life lover as well, right?
Wrong!
Julia is speaking out saying she has had nothing to do with Micahel's divorce from their fellow Dexter co-star Jennifer Carpenter.
“I have absolutely nothing to do with the split between Michael and Jennifer,” Julia said in a statement issued to Access Hollywood on Thursday. “We are good friends and enjoyed working together. This is a personal matter between them, and we should respect their privacy.
“Although I too prefer to keep my private life, private – I felt compelled to dispel the rumors I was somehow the cause for this matter,” she explained.
Julia joined the Dexter cast during its fifth season, which just concluded, playing a recurring guest star as the character Lumen Pierce.
Both Julia and Michael received Golden Globe nominations earlier this week for their work.
