Earlier Tuesday, In Touch reported that the A-list pair had separated after 13 years of marriage, setting off rumors that Pinkett Smith had an affair with her recently single HawthoRNeco-star Marc Anthony. Pinkett Smith's rep and Anthony's rep have both denied the affair.


Smith's son, Trey, 19, from his first marriage, had also denied the separation multiple times on Twitter and implored his followers to retweet the message.

"Did #WillandJada split? No they did NOT split! False information ... its [sic] not true RETWEET!!!"Trey wrote. "Everyone can think what they want ... even if its [sic] not true."
