On Monday afternoon, we brought you the latest report of the imminent marital demise of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith’s 17-year marriage. These rumors have circulated for quite some time, but the new report seemed more solid than usual. So solid, in fact, that Will Smith’s friends and colleagues reached out to him with the “deepest condolences.” The Smiths are used to these stories, but this time, Will decided to respond. He’s not happy and took to Facebook with a denial of ever wanting to divorce his “queen.”
The Smiths do harbor an interesting dynamic and one that veers between apathy and cheerful overcompensation. It’s notable how Will chose to respond to this round of rumors when, all along, he and Jada have always ignored any similar story.
Meanwhile, “queen” Jada had her own take on the rumors. Sort of.
My king has spoken.
