“Under normal circumstances, I don’t usually respond to foolishness (Because it’s contagious) But, so many people have extended me their ‘deepest condolences’ that I figured – “What the hell… I can be foolish, too!” he wrote.
"So in the interest of redundant, repetitious, over &over-again-ness… Jada and I are… NOT GETTING A DIVORCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! : -) I promise you all – if I ever decide to divorce my Queen – I SWEAR I’ll tell you myself!”
Jada also took to social media to defend her marriage and support her husband simply tweeting, “My king has spoken.”

An insider revealed to Radar Online that the couple allegedly came up with a solid confidential settlement that protects both their $240 million fortune and two children. Apparently Will and Jada just couldn’t stay together any longer, even for the sake of their kids.
It's jus another day, another divorce report for Will and Jada and this new allegation is no different. “For Will and Jada, holding it together these past few years has been tough because their marriage has been on life support for a long time,” a source told the online outlet. “They’re exhausted from trying to maintain the facade of a happy union.”
While the source is claiming that the couple is tired of lying about their unhappy relationship, Will Smith finally broke his silence and shut down all the rumors himself.
