Will Smith appears to be taking all of the recent drama in his stride as he took to Instagram to troll his fans with an "official statement".

In case you've been completely off the grid for the last week or so, a lot of eye-opening revelations have been made by Jada Pinkett Smith and fans have quickly become concerned for Will.

Jada is currently promoting her new book, Worthy, and it appears that from cover to cover it is full of insights about her marriage and her feelings towards Tupac Shakur.

The actress sat down for a candid conversation with Hoda Kotb on the Today Show and she reflected on the surprising moment when Will referred to her as his wife during the infamous Oscars slap incident, revealing: "First of all, I’m really shocked because, mind you, I’m not there. We haven’t called each other husband and wife in a long time."

Not only this, she revealed that the pair have been secretly separated for the past seven years and that she might be open to divorcing him within the next decade.

Obviously, these aren't the sort of things a husband would like to hear his wife say, so fans have been concerned for the Men in Black actor.

Well, it looks like he's having a great time if his recent Instagram post is anything to go by.

Fans are desperate for some sort of official statement from Will, and he begins the video doing just that as he sits in a room facing the camera like any celeb tends to do when they're addressing their followers.

"I've got something for you," Will begins the video. "Here's the thing, so, in my opinion..."

Just as it appears like he's about to get to the info that we all want, the actor sneezes, and the video turns into a bizarre journey across a beach... though the scenery is very nice.

In a weird way, although this statement isn't really a statement, it lets us know that Will is doing okay despite everything that has come out recently so that's good to see.

The Fresh Prince star also wrote a letter to his wife which was read out to her on the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast.

Shetty read the note from Will: "I applaud and honor you. If I had read this book 30 years ago, I definitely would’ve hugged you more. I’ll start now. Welcome to the Authors Club. I love you endlessly. Now go get some Merlot and take a rest."

Jada responded with a chuckle, teasing: "He know [sic] I can’t have no Merlot. That’s beautiful. That’s why I can’t divorce that joker."

It seems like the pair are taking everything in their stride!
