I think that could be fairly impactful beyond just a tough conversation between 4 adults.
I'd feel disgusted on yours, the other 3 adults and the children's behalf even if you didn't.

That would entirely depend on the relationship with my significant other. Are we on the rocks? Is this something where she's going to legitimately believe it's true? What if we're swingers, or poly-amorous and it's true but there was consent?
People are going to talk. Some people are going to lie. If all they have to talk about is making up that I've been unfaithful on a hockey road trip for my kids, then they need a life. But I don't think I'd be disgusted with them. I'd pity them. I'd be perturbed and annoyed with busybodies not being adult enough to live their own life. But spreading rumours that I'd had consenting sex is not something I'd be disgusted by.
