American actor Will Smith has expressed his commitment to continue supporting his wife, Jada Pinkett, for the rest of his life, despite her recent revelation on a talk show that they have been separated for seven years.

Recently, Jada Pinkett revealed in a preview clip from her upcoming NBC News primetime special with Hoda Kotb that she and her husband have been living apart since 2016.

However, speaking at a press briefing, Will said Jada is “the best friend I have ever had on this planet”, stressing that he would continue to support her.

He described their marriage as a “slappy public experiment in unconditional love.”

“Our union is a slappy public experiment in unconditional love. Can you love somebody forever, no matter what? Can you love somebody for the rest of your life even when you don’t remember them?

“Jada is the best friend I have ever had on this planet and I will support her for the rest of my life,” AfroNews quoted Will Smith as saying.
