They might be divorcing, but he still has her back!

David Foster is breaking his silence over the rumors estranged wife Yolanda is faking her Lyme disease, and the legendary record producer sounds like he has the utmost respect and admiration for the Dutch beauty despite their split at the beginning of this month.

"Over the past few weeks, a great deal of inaccurate or baseless information has been reported claiming to represent my thoughts and feelings. It is painful to watch this happen repeatedly – especially while trying to cope with the personal nature of the challenges surrounding the breakup of our loving marriage," he told People in a statement. "I have always had and continue to have the utmost respect and love for Yolanda, which is why it is so frustrating to see headlines questioning her chronic debilitating illness," he added.

He also wants to make sure the public knows he did not pull the plug on their marriage solely because of her deteriorating condition.

"I have been by Yolanda's side over the past four years to the best of my ability as she battled with the complexities of her Lyme diagnosis. I am incredibly proud of Yolanda's determination and mission to find a cure, and how brave and open she has been by sharing her story in the hopes of changing the future for others," he concluded.

We wonder what Yo has to say about his comments?
