British actor Hugh Laurie has dismissed reports his 18-year marriage to Jo Green is in trouble - although he admits it is "hard" spending so much time away from his family. The HOUSE star - who confessed to punching doors to alleviate his stress earlier this month (MAR07) - has denied his relationship with wife Jo is on the rocks, despite recent media reports suggesting his marriage was under pressure following his move to Los Angeles for the hit TV medical drama. Green still lives in the UK with their three children CHARLIE, 17, BILL, 15, and 13-year-old REBECCA. Laurie's spokeswoman, INA TRECIOKAS says, "His family is in London. It's hard. The children do come to LA, but they have school and his wife comes over as often as she can. But he does get home in the summer."
