But she denied it and when in April 2019 she came on the show Live with Kelly and Ryan, Lorraine had tried to clear the air surrounding her personal life. She had joked at that time on the show:
“I have a real husband and an Internet husband. My Internet husband is Micah Zane. I’ve been married to Micah Zane for many, many years now. When I take Micah Zane off the Internet, he comes back on. My real husband is Michael Tomlinson.”
Rippa wanted to know how her name came to be associated with this mysterious man named Micah Zane. To this, Lorraine replied:
“It is because everyone writes that. It’s on the Internet that I’m married to Micah Zane…I actually call my real husband Micah Zane sometimes.”
