Jada Pinkett Smith: Divorce Rumors are ‘Ridiculous’

(CNN) — Jada Pinkett Smith has reiterated that she and husband Will Smith are not getting a divorce, and that any rumors to the contrary are “ridiculous.”

According to People magazine, the actress made these comments recently to French magazine Gala.

During the interview, the 40-year-old indicated that she and her 43-year-old action-star husband are “waiting peacefully for the storm to blow over” regarding ongoing speculation that they’re splitting up.

In fact, Pinkett Smith said, she and Will have often wondered why it was their marriage that was picked to come under attack in the media.

“I have no idea!” she reportedly said about the persistent divorce rumors, which began last August around the same time the then-”Hawthorne” star was accused of having an affair with co-star Marc Anthony, who had recently split from Jennifer Lopez.

“Every year, one celebrity couple is under the microscope,” she continued. “This year, unluckily, it’s us! I almost want to say that we should have been expecting it,” she said, adding, “Will and I know the truth.”
