Will’s got a fresh take on marriage

- Peter Sblendorio

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith no longer use the term “married” to describe their relationsh­ip — but not for the reason some might suspect.

The stars — who have been the subject of divorce rumors in the past — prefer to use different terminolog­y to define their romance as a way of commemorat­ing them reaching a new level of commitment, Smith says.

“We don’t even say we’re married anymore,” the actor explains in a new interview on Tidal’s “Rap Radar” podcast. “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.” Smith went on to suggest there’s nothing that could ever lead them to separate.

“There’s no deal breakers,” he said. “There’s nothing she could do — ever. Nothing that would break our relationsh­ip. She has my support till death and it feels so good to get to that space.” Both have recently refuted speculatio­n that their marriage is in trouble.
