In a new interview, Jada Pinkett Smith said that she and her husband Will Smith have been on different paths since 2016.
She told NBC that even though the stars had lived different lives for seven years, they weren’t ready to reveal the news in public yet.
She said that they were “tired of trying” by the time they broke up.
They still don’t live together, but they have no plans to get divorced.
Pinkett Smith, 52, told NBC that she got married to Smith, 55, and promised herself that they would never get a divorce. She said she has kept her promise.
“I think we were both kind of just still stuck in our fantasy of what we thought the other person should be,” she stated. While the talk was going on, Pinkett Smith’s autobiography, Worthy, was coming out next week.
Smith slapped host Chris Rock and yelled, “Keep my wife’s name out of your [expletive] mouth” at the Oscars last year, which made news.
Rock joked that Pinkett Smith was bald, which led to the fight. The actress has alopecia, a disease that makes hair fall out.
When asked about it again, Pinkett Smith told People that at first she thought it was all part of a joke.
“It wasn’t until Will started to walk back to his chair that I even realised it wasn’t a skit.”
She stated: “I’m going to be by his side but also allow him to have to figure this out for himself.”
When they talked about Pinkett Smith’s “entanglement” with artist August Alsina on her Facebook show Red Table Talk in 2020, there was talk that the two were going to get married.
They got together in 1994 when Pinkett Smith tried out for Smith’s show The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. They got married in 1997.
Smith has a boy named Trey Smith with his first wife, Sheree Zampino. They also have two children together, Jaden Smith and Willow Smith.
