There have been quite a number of divorces in Hollywood this summer, as Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner called it quits, Blake Shelton and Miranda Lambert split, and most recently, Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale have also put an end to their marriage. Now, reports are claiming that the next couple headed for a divorce is Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith.
Throughout their 17 years of marriage, the couple had their fair share of breakup rumors, but now, the stars are speaking out about the allegations, telling fans that the rumors are not true.
On Monday, Aug. 3, the "Suicide Squad" star took to his Facebook account to clear up the rumors once and for all. He started off by writing that under normal circumstances, he usually doesn't respond to "foolishness (Because it's contagious)." He added that because so many people have extended their "deepest condolences" to him, he said that this time, he "can be foolish, too."
"So in the interest of redundant, repetitious, over & over-again-ness…Jada and I are… NOT GETTING A DIVORCE!!!!!!" he wrote.
He added that if he ever decides "to divorce my Queen, I swear I'll tell you myself!"
On the same day, Jada tweeted, "My king has spoken."
In a recent interview with American Way magazine, the "Gotham" star also addressed the divorce speculations saying that every year there's a new rumor about them.
"Marriages go through shifts," the 43-year-old actress said. "And relationships go through shifts because in life things shift."
She added that due to these shifts, people automatically assume that they're getting a divorce.
"When people feel those shifts and there's a mystery, they have to fill it with something," said the star.
In any case, the actress said that the rumors about their marriage is nothing compared to what other people are facing nowadays, taking note of people who are losing their sons, husbands, or daughters.
"I'm blessed," she said. "I'll take that any day over what the majority of my people are dealing with on a daily basis."
