“Thank goodness they have a father and I don’t have to raise them alone,” she says. “Having been raised by a single mother I’m very clear on what the difficulties of being raised by a single mother are.”

Though Jada and Will were recently the subject of rumors about their marriage, the two seem to be solid. “We are still together, and our marriage is intact,” read a joint statement.

Let’s continue to hope the Smith family grows stronger with time.
