Jada Pinkett Smith won't work with her husband Will Smith because she "wants to stay married".

The 'Madagascar: Escape 2 the Jungle' actress - who earlier this year stepped behind the camera for her directorial debut with 'The Human Contract' - believes the couple's relationship would struggle in a professional environment.

I plan on being in control on a film sometime next year as well

She said: "Will wanted to do 'Madagascar' with me but we decided to stay married.

"I love being in control. I plan on being in control on a film sometime next year as well."

Jada had previously asked Will to direct her scenes in 'The Human Contract', but admitted the request led to family tensions.

She said: "The family that directs together has to work hard to stay together!"

Earlier this year, the star confessed her marriage has its ups and downs, saying: "My life with Will is beautiful and sound.
