Will and Jada Smith Are 'All Good' Says 'Carlton Banks' Star Alfonso Ribeiro
Friends and family are backing Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith in denying rumors they are having marriage troubles and will separate. Smith's "Fresh Prince of Bel Air" co-star Alfonso Ribeiro spoke to TMZ Wednesday night as he left a restaurant, and told that the couple is "all good."
Ribeiro confirmed he has heard the rumors about Will and Jada separating. When asked whether he thought they would work out their marriage problems, Ribeiro said, "Who said they were having problems?"
"They're not getting a divorce, they're all good," he added.
Smith and Pinkett Smith released a joint statement on Wednesday saying that they are not separating.
"Although we are reluctant to respond to these types of press reports, the rumors circulating about our relationship are completely false. We are still together, and our marriage is intact," they said in the statement.
The couple's sons, Trey and Jaden have also taken to Twitter to state that any rumors their parents having marriage troubles are untrue.
The couple was spotted in Malibu having breakfast at Bob Morris' Beach Cafe on Wednesday. Reports from TMZ say that they were "happy and normal."
Smith and Ribeiro played cousins Will Smith and Carlton Banks respectively on the 90's hit sitcom "Fresh Prince of Bel Air."
Smith also met Pinkett Smith on the set of "Fresh Prince," when she auditioned to play the role of Will Smith's girlfriend. However, she was not offered the part because of her height; producers said she was too short.
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith married on New Year's Eve, 1997 and have been married for the past 13 years.
