In a candid and heartfelt conversation, Jada Pinkett Smith has opened up about a significant revelation regarding her relationship with her husband, Will Smith. This revelation comes just before the release of her memoir, aptly titled “Worthy.”
During her discussion with People, the actress shared that she and Will Smith, who tied the knot in 1997, have been living apart for the past seven years. In her own words, “We’re currently in the process of figuring things out.”
She added, “We’ve been engaged in some profound introspection together. Our love for each other is profound, and we’re dedicated to understanding what this means for us.”
Notably, Jada affirmed that despite their seven-year separation, there is no intention of pursuing a divorce.
In a separate interview with Today, she made her unwavering commitment clear, declaring, “I made a promise that divorce would never be an option for us… We will navigate through any challenges, and I have been steadfast in keeping that promise.”
The decision to separate emerged from a place of mutual exhaustion in trying to make their relationship work. Jada shared, “By the time we reached 2016, we were fatigued from striving to make it work. I believe we were each confined by our notions of what we thought the other person should be.”
Importantly, Jada expressed her unwavering support for Will Smith, affirming her commitment to stand by his side while also allowing him to embark on his personal journey of self-discovery. Their story, one of enduring love and evolving relationships, reflects the complexities and depth of commitment in the journey of marriage. As Jada Pinkett Smith’s memoir “Worthy” is set to be released, it promises to provide an even more intimate glimpse into her life and the lessons she has learned along the way.
