Will Smith has, once again, shot down rumours that he and wife Jada Pinkett Smith are divorcing.
On Tuesday morning he wrote on his Facebook:
"Under normal circumstances, I don't usually respond to foolishness," 46-year-old Smith told his 74 million followers.
"(Because it's contagious) But, so many people have extended me their 'deepest condolences' that I figured - 'What the hell... I can be foolish, too!' "
He added: "I promise you all - if I ever decide to divorce my Queen - I SWEAR I'll tell you myself!"
He ended with "#Dumb People Should Have to Wear Scarlet D's.
Shortly after, Pinkett Smith, 43, took to Twitter, with the final word from the couple:

The couple, who have been married for 17 years, made the statements in response to a RadarOnline report that they were calling it quits.
"For Will and Jada, holding it together these past few years has been tough because their marriage has been on life support for a long time," a source told Radar on Sunday.
"They're exhausted from trying to maintain the façade of a happy union."
It is not the first time the parents to Jaden, 17, and Willow, 14 have faced gossip about the state of their marriage.
Pinkett Smith addressed the rumours in a recent interview.
"Every year there's a new one," she told American Way. "And I'm like, 'Here we go. Get ready. Are ya holdin' on tight?'
"If you really want to know, I'm thankful for the Hollywood scrutiny, that that's my problem," she said.
"There are mothers out there losing their sons, their husbands, their daughters," she said.
"I'm blessed. So scrutinise me. I'll take that any day over what the majority of my people are dealing with on a daily basis. I dare not complain. Hollywood scrutiny has nothing on what I've survived just to be here."
