The surprising revelation about her marriage was made during a recent interview and elaborated further during a candid conversation on a morning talk show. Jada disclosed that she and her husband, Will Smith, have quietly lived apart for the past 7 years. They initially married in 1997 and are currently navigating the uncertain path of their future together.
During the talk show, Jada shared insights into the breakdown of her relationship with Will Smith. The actress explained, “By the time we got to 2016, we were just exhausted with trying. I think we were both still stuck in our fantasy of what we thought the other person should be.”
In her book, the actress likened their separation to a ’divorce,’ even though no legal paperwork had been filed. Jada wrote, “It was not a divorce on paper. But it was a divorce.” She openly discussed her considerations regarding a legal divorce in the interview.
The actress confessed that she had contemplated it but ultimately couldn’t follow through. She candidly revealed that she had made a ’promise’ to her husband, vowing never to provide him with a ’reason’ for divorce. This commitment played a significant role in her decision-making process.
“I made a promise that there will never be a reason for us to get a divorce... We will work through whatever. And I just haven’t been able to break that promise,” the actress confirmed during the interview. When asked, “But you still live separately?” Jada responded with a straightforward affirmation, stating, “We live separately.”
Despite their two separate lives, Jada stated shortly after the heartbreaking announcement that they were trying to repair their relationship and that he was “still her man.” These conflicting statements confuse her friends and the public, but those closer to her have no doubts that the damage is permanent.
“There is no chance she and Will will get back to what they once were,” one source revealed in an interview. “Jada’s friends and those who know her are telling her to make up her mind when it comes to her story.”
“Everyone feels like she is now drafting two narratives, and it is completely confusing everyone because, in actuality, they are separated, and there is no chance of them getting back to the happily married partners that they once were,” they added.
Here’s a timeline of the romantic relationship between Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith that helps us dig deeper into the unusual love story of the couple.
