The couple address split rumours.

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith have announced they aren’t just husband and wife, they are ‘life partners’.

The Fresh Prince of Bel Air alum said, ‘We don’t even say we’re married anymore. We refer to ourselves as life partners, where you get into that space where you realize you are literally with somebody for the rest of your life.’

‘There’s no deal breakers. There’s nothing she could do — ever. Nothing that would break our relationship,’ he continued. ‘She has my support till death and it feels so good to get to that space.’

The 49-year-old recently slammed divorce rumours, releasing a new song titled ‘To The Clique.’ 

Similarly, Jada addressed ongoing rumours that she and the actor are headed for a divorce. 

‘Here’s the thing about Will and I — [we] are family. That is never going down,’ she said during the radio show Sway’s Universe.

‘We are family. Take out all that whole marriage/relationship crap, at the end of the day, Will and I are family. I am going to hold him down, doesn’t matter. All that relationship and what people think ideas of a husband, partner and all that, man, whatever.

‘At the end of the day, that is a man that can rely on me for the rest of his life, period.’

The couple have been married for 20 years and are the parents of son Jaden, 19, and daughter Willow, 17. Smith is also dad of son Trey, 25, from a previous relationship.
