Rocker Richie Sambora and his actress wife Heather Locklear has slammed tabloid reports their marriage is in trouble, insisting their normal, happy family life is "boring, but true".

Recently, several US publications claimed the Bon Jovi guitarist, 46, and former Spin City star, 44, were arguing over having a second child, with Locklear preferring to concentrate on her career.

However, the couple insist their marriage is as strong as ever and they are looking forward to celebrating their 11th wedding anniversary on December 17.

In a joint statement to the New York Daily News, the couple say, "The real story is that there is no story.

"The truth is that after 11 years together, we are still happily married. Boring but true."
