Before their public outing, Will and Jada responded to the rumors that the two were separating.
"Although we are reluctant to respond to these types of press reports, the rumors circulating about our relationship are completely false," the two said in a joint statement. "We are still together, and our marriage is intact."
Although the couple has made an effort to clear up the rumors, a source close to them told Radar Online that they are not willing to let the rumors go after InTouch weekly published their false report.
“Will and Jada are not splitting and they’ve already got their legal team involved,” the insider told Radar Online. “Like any other A-list couple, they’re used to inaccurate reports sometimes, but when it comes to their marriage, they don’t appreciate anyone demeaning it.”
However, Jada said she is used to people demeaning her marriage with these types of rumors. In a 2009 interview with the Bert Show, Jada said she is aware of the speculation surrounding her long-lasting marriage.
"I've heard all of the [rumors]: the marriage is not real, he's gay, she's gay, they swing ... one thing Will and I are not here to do is [fake things] ... what's real for us is what's real for us,” the actress said in the interview. "It's too hard to be in a pretend marriage, life is too short for that one."
