How long will Spica stay on the main sequence?

Spica is a dual star system, with the two members too close for resolution by the best telescopes. The larger, primary star is a blue-white giant, and does have the potential to end it's life as a supernova. The primary is not a main sequence star. The secondary, about 70% the size of the primary, is a main sequence star, also blue white.
