Cohen, 36, appeared in the last series of Strictly Come Dancing and was partnered with professional dancer Rihanoff. The couple have remained close friends since appearing on the show, and their closeness was recently called into question when the former rugby player and his wife announced they were to separate after 11 years of marriage.
In a statement issued on Facebook, Cohen has now spoken out about the rumours, saying they are not true.
He wrote: "Stories have been published that are laced with innuendo about me, my wife Abby, and my friend and former Strictly Come Dancing partner, Kristina Rihanoff.
"Kristina and I share the same passion for charity work and have helped each other with our charities to raise money and awareness.
"It is a desperately sad world, when two adults of different genders cannot have a friendship without being attacked maliciously.
"My wife and I have already issued a statement regarding our current marital issues, and we stand by that statement.
"Our own problems, like those of any family, should be handled in private. That I am a public figure, does not remove my family's right to privacy."
The father-of-two also took to Twitter to share his support for 37-year-old Rihanoff. He tweeted: "Stay strong @KRihanoff. It's horrible being bullied each week for no reason at all. Thinking of you."
Earlier this month, Cohen and his wife issued a joint statement confirming they were to separate after 11 years of marriage. The couple have two daughters together.
