Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith are ‘staying together forever’.
The 52-year-old actress has suggested that she will remain married to Will, 55, even though she previously revealed they’ve been separated for years.
The pair tied the knot in 1997 and share son Jaden, 25, and 22-year-old daughter Willow.
During an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show this week, Jada spoke to the 48-year-old host about her new memoir, Worthy.
In the book, doting mum Jada discusses the highs and lows of her and Will’s relationship frankly, even revealing that they split in 2016.
However, the pair have since reconciled, and chatting to Jada this week, Drew said: ‘I feel like maybe your and his shadow separated in a way, whether they stay together forever or not. It sounds like you’re staying together forever.’

Jada replied: ‘We’re staying together forever.’
The Matrix actress then seemed to suggest that their attempts to live separately were simply unsuccessful.
Jada said: ‘I tried. We tried.’

Jada told the TODAY show last month: ‘It was not a divorce on paper, but it was a divorce.’
The A-list couple kept their unusual dynamic a secret for years.
Asked why they chose to adopt such lifestyle, Jada replied: ‘I think just not being ready yet.

‘Still trying to figure out between the two of us how to be in a partnership, and in regards to how do we present that to people, you know? And we hadn’t figured that out.’
Jada also explained they both felt ‘exhausted’ by their efforts to make their romance work.
She explained: ‘I think by the time we got to 2016, we were just exhausted with trying.
‘I think we were both kind of just still stuck in our fantasy of what we thought the other person should be.’
