According to the New York Times, Jada Pinkett Smith shared in an interview that she and her husband - Will Smith - have been separated since 2016.
"In 2016, we were exhausted from trying. Both of us are still stuck in illusion about each other," the actress revealed. Jada Pinkket did not make the divorce public because she and her husband were "not ready".
For 26 years of living together, Smith and his wife have tried to reconcile but have failed, both of them promising not to decide on divorce. Jada Pinkket Smith affirmed that she would not break that promise.
The couple's relationship attracted much attention after the 2022 Oscars, when Smith slapped actor Chris Rock on stage during a live broadcast.
After announcing the Best Documentary award for Summer of soul, comedian Chris Rock suddenly joked about Jada Pinkett Smith shaving his head: Im eager to see you in G.I Jane 2.
It is worth mentioning that Jada Pinkket shaved her head because she had a disease that caused a lot of hair loss. After Chris Rock's words, the "Aladdin" star laughed awkwardly, stepped onto the stage and slapped his colleagues in the face. The incident surprised all the guests.
In her upcoming memoir, Jada talks about the moment her husband slapped a colleague on Oscar: "We lived our separate lives and were there as a family, not a couple. But when I heard Will scream and call me "wife", my inner thoughts seemed to wake up. Oh, I'm his wife."
At that time, the couple had been separated for 6 years. Like many audiences, she initially thought Smith's slapping was a performance of the program. It was not until her husband returned to the chair that she knew that this was not a joke.
Once again, many people suspected that last year's Oscar fight was just an arranged and staged act. Because Will Smith and his wife have not had love and have been living their own lives for a long time.
Meanwhile, according to Page Six, Chris Rock and Will Smith's bad relationship has been going on since 2016, and that was not the first time Chris Rock mocked Jada.
In real life, Chris Rock and Will Smith appeared together on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Therefore, many major US newspapers have questioned its authenticity. On social networks, the audience thought that the two actors wanted to stir up a story in the past to create controversy and attract ratings for the show.
The impact after the shocking death blow was a shock for Will Smith. He was "banned" by the Academy of Motion pictures for 10 years and was not allowed to attend the Oscars.
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith got married in 1997. They have son Jaden and daughter Willow. Will Smith also has a son Trey, now 30 years old, who is his stepchild with his ex-wife Sheree Zampino.
