"I have nothing but live and respect for sara who has been an incredible mother to our two beautiful children and everything is very amicable.
"Other parts of the story though are absolute nonsense, I would just kindly ask for respect for our privacy."
It is thought the that 'other story' Alfie is referring to is the alleged reports he has joined exclusive celebrity dating app Raya, used by the likes of Kelly Osbourne and Drew Barrymore.
