Smith's marriage to Jada Pinkett Smith has been a subject of
tabloid rumor for several years.
But on Monday, entertainment news website Radar Online reported
that the couple had decided to split and would make a divorce
announcement at the end of the summer.
Smith, 46, said in statement on his Facebook page that "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!' So, in the interest of redundant, repetitious,
over & over-again-ness... Jada and I are...NOT GETTING A
DIVORCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
Smith added that if he ever decided to divorce "I SWEAR I'll
tell you myself!"
Pinkett Smith, 43, who recently appeared in the movie "Magic
Mike XXL" and in the TV crime show "Gotham," married Smith in
1997. They are parents to teen actor Jaden Smith and 14-year-old
singer Willow Smith.
