Will Smith and his wife of 13 years, Jada Pinkett Smith, are NOT splitting up, despite what In Touch Weekly reports.
The couple released a statement after dominating blog and Twitter chatter today.
“Although we are reluctant to respond to these types of press reports, the rumors circulating about our relationship are completely false,” they said in a statement posted on People’s web site. “We are still together, and our marriage is intact.”
Earlier the actor’s son Trey Smith tweeted in response to the magazine’s touted intel from an inside source. In Touch gave few details on its web site, other than urging people to buy the magazine.
But Trey Smith’s Twitter feed was emphatic: “No they did NOT split ! False information ..it’s not true RETWEET!” followed by “Everyone can think what they want ..even if it’s not true. #Lame” And so on.
Radar Online posted a report disputing the Splitsville rumor earlier in the day. It quotes another secret source saying the first one had it all wrong. Here’s that story.
TMZ, never one to shy away from celeb scoop, posted the greatest publicist denial ever, quoting Jada Smith’s rep, Karynne Tencer, thusly:
“What? In Touch said that? I know nothing about this … Lord. I’m going back to bed.”
The Smiths’ children include young stars Jaden Smith (”The Karate Kid” remake) and Willow Smith (”Whip My Hair.”) They were just named to this list of “10 celeb couples with a balanced lifestyle.”

If they are breaking up, it is their business people. Can we worry about the things with substance.

Not surprised. Both are switch hitters. Will a little more than Jada these days. The way Will been looking these days he might as well just come out the closet.

Wow!! I agree with Shea’s comments…But then again, when you openly report that you enjoy having an open relationship, what do you expect? I bet they wish they had agreed to have a traditional marriage. I guess Mr. Will enjoyed housing his “other women” inside of his huge one block long trailer on movie sets… If the split is over marital indisecretions, kids always suffer!!!

Noooo! Not those two! They are normal! C’mon guys, work it out. I remember when they’re babysitter called during the Academy Awards about one of the kids (when they were really little) having a really high fever and they actually left the Oscars and I thought, man, those two have their priorities right.

They both go both ways. I heard they were swingers. Maybe one of them got a little too close to one of their secret partners.

A couple stay Married in HOLLYWEIRD? OMG now that REALLY IS HILARIOUS.
What makes me wanna bust a gasket is they just showed on MTO(MEDIA TAKE OUT LIES) their BIG HUGE FANCY House. Seems to me to be a Bad sign. Showing off your wealth then the very next week. Separating then Divorce. Goes to show all your Money and Wealth dont change Humans for whom and what they are. I saw this coming a Long time ago. The More Money the more Problems. While some of you on here bash Will and his kids..How about Arnold hiding a kid 13years away from his wife Marie Shriver? Not suprised here at all..Next..Beyonce and Jay Z. and wonder how Long Kim will stay married to that Basketball player..Tick Tick Tick..and the clock ticks on..whos next to hit Splitsville, first JLo and Marc..Will and Jada..next you be hearing Kim is single again. tick tick tick..

They had an “open” marriage- how long did you expect it to last?

This is very sad. I’m sorry to hear this. Will Smith is a terrific actor and seems like a decent guy. It is a shame that his marriage has collapsed. My heart breaks for Jaden and Willow. Marriage, in my experience, takes work. A lot of work.
I think my husband taught me a lot about inner beauty and confidence in myself. I’m slim but voluptuous. I’ve got curves and a large bust but it seemed that men were more interested in my chest than my personality. My exes seemed obsessed with my cleavage. They were always going on about my breasts, and in bed they practically worshipped them, while I wished they concentrated their attention elsewhere.
My husband’s in love with the person inside of me, and the outside of me is just a bonus. I feel better—so much better now than I ever did in my twenties. I know who I am. And as a result, I feel much sexier.

I guess having a ‘balanced lifestyle’ means pushing your kids onstage and subjecting the rest of us to their ‘talents.’

I’m not believing any of this until Will or Jada makes a statement confirming they have split and I’m wondering why they haven’t made a statement saying THEY HAVE NOT SPLIT. Hmmmmmm.

Can’t stand the guy anyway. He’s about the most racist actor out there. He injects race in every one of his movies whether it’s relevant or not.

And thanks for the hysterical post Lorraine!
‘They were always going on about my breasts, and in bed they practically worshipped them, while I wished they concentrated their attention elsewhere.’
Who talks like this? I mean, do you stare in the mirror ALL day or just while making sweet love to one of exes?

The media said ‘golden’, we don’t know that they were. They’ll be happier apart after the unlucky 13.
