The pair is dismissing reports the "Transformers" star had sex with Atlanta exotic dancer Nicole Forrester, even though she claims to have taken a polygraph test to prove she's telling the truth about her tryst with the actor.

And the couple made sure to be seen together, declining the offer of a discreet table at steak house Chops in favour of one "where the action is".

Fergie flew to Atlanta to spend time with her husband, who is shooting new movie "Life As We Know It" in the city, following the affair reports, which broke last week.

Chops manager Kevin Brown tells People.com, "They were snuggling up a little bit. They were sitting next to each other in a booth side by side and talking closely.

"We offered them a discreet table (but) she said, 'I want to sit out where the action is.'"

Ironically, Chops is next door to the St. Regis Hotel in Atlanta, where Forrester claims her romp with Duhamel took place.
