In a recent statement, Jada Pinkett Smith, the wife of renowned US actor Will Smith, confirmed that she and her husband have been separated since 2016.
This revelation came during an exclusive interview with NBC News, where she discussed her newly released book, “Worthy.”
According to Jada Pinkett Smith, although they have not officially divorced on paper, they have been living separate lives for the past seven years. Their marriage, which began in 1997, brought them two children, Jaden and Willow, in addition to Will Smith’s son, Trey, from his first marriage to Sheree Zampino.
Despite their separation, the couple has maintained the appearance of a happy married life in public. This revelation sheds light on their personal journey and adds a new perspective to their longstanding relationship.
Their separation is further punctuated by the memorable incident at the 2022 Oscars, where Will Smith, seemingly upset by a joke about his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, physically confronted comedian Chris Rock on stage. Following this incident, Will Smith has issued an apology for his actions, and as a consequence, he has been banned from the Oscars gala and all Academy events for the next 10 years.
