Will Smith and Jada Pinkett
In a recent interview, Jada Pinkett Smith disclosed that she and her husband, Will Smith, have been living separately since 2016.
Even though they led entirely separate lives for seven years, they weren't prepared to make the news public until now, she admitted to NBC.
At the point of separation, she mentioned they were "tired of trying." They continue to reside separately but have no intention of divorcing.
Pinkett Smith, aged 52, shared with NBC that she had made a commitment to herself, ensuring that she and Smith, aged 55, would never divorce, and she has remained true to that promise.
"I believe both of us were still holding onto our ideals of who we wanted the other person to be," she remarked. This conversation took place in anticipation of the upcoming release of Pinkett Smith's memoir, "Worthy," next week.

Last year, the couple grabbed headlines as Smith took to the Oscars stage, slapped host Chris Rock, and shouted, "Keep my wife's name out of your [expletive] mouth."

The incident occurred following a joke by Rock about Pinkett Smith being bald, knowing that she deals with alopecia, a condition resulting in hair loss.
In another interview, Pinkett Smith informed People that at first, she believed it was part of a planned comedic bit.
