Divorce 'not an option' for Will Smith

Rex Features

Will Smith has insisted that he won't get divorced from wife Jada Pinkett Smith.

Speaking on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, the I Am Legend star expressed his delight that his second marriage had lasted a decade in Hollywood.

"It's like dog years when you're married [in Hollywood]. That's like 50 years, right?" he said.

"What I found is divorce just can't be an option. It's really that simple. And I think that's the problem with LA - there are so many options. So a huge part of the success for [Jada] and I is that we just removed the other options.

"We're like - listen, we're going to be together one way or the other so we might as well try to be happy."

Smith has a son, Willard, from his previous married to Sheree Smith. He married current wife Jada in 1997 and the couple have two children; 9-year-old Jaden and 7-year-old Willow.
