reuters - U.S. actor Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith leave a luxury hotel in downtown Rome, November 18.

Will Smith insists the only thing that will ever split up him and wife Jada Pinkett Smith is death.

The Pursuit of Happyness actor says divorce is not an option for him or his spouse because he believes in the vows they both took.

He told MTV: "Divorce can't be an option. With Jada, I stood up in front of God and said, ''Til death do us part.' So there are two possible outcomes.

One, we are going to be together till death, or two, I am dead."

Despite his anti-divorce stance, Will has already got divorced once.

He married Sharee Zampino - who he has a son, Willard Christopher III, nicknamed Trey, with - in 1992. The pair legally separated in 1995.

Will and Jada - who are both followers of Scientology, a sci-fi cult based on the belief that humans are descended from aliens - married in 1997.

They have two children, son Jaden Christopher Syre, eight, and six-year-old daughter Willow Camille Reign.
