Jada Pinkett Smith is sharing an update on the state of her marriage to Will Smith and revealed in a new interview with People that they had been separated for six years before the 2022 Oscars.
"Just not being ready not, still trying to figure out between the two of us how to be in partnership," Jada toldin an interview released Oct. 11. "In regards to how do we present that to people, you know, and we hadn't figure that out.""Why it fractured, that's a lot of things," the actress added. "I think by the time we got to 2016, we were just exhausted with trying. I think we were both stuck in our fantasy of what the other person should be.
Jada remembers asking her husband if he was OK after they were finally alone after the show, and she suggested he's still on his own journey. "I'm going to be by his side," she added, "but also allow him to have to figure this out for himself."—calling the slap "unacceptable" and noting "there is no part of me that thinks that was the right way to behave in that moment." And Will made it clear that Jada "had nothing to do" with his actions."Will called me up one day and said, 'Hit me when you get to L.A.' and then ... click. And I was like, 'Whoa.
Will posts an Instagram tribute to wife Jada, acknowledging that they've been together for "HALF OUR LIVES!" If you or someone you know needs help, call 988 to reach the Suicide and Crisis Lifeline.
