Jada Pinkett Smith shared that she and Will Smith have been separated since 2016 although they are not divorced on paper.

The stormy relationship between the famous couple Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith has recently been revealed by the couple themselves, causing a stir. Their marriage has lasted nearly 26 years and they have two children together, Jaden Smith and Willow Smith. Recently, Jada Pinkett Smith published her memoir “Worrthy”, revealing many details about her marriage and relationship with Will Smith.

In the book, Jada Pinkett Smith shockingly shared that they had been separated since 2016, although they were not legally divorced. She also made it clear that they still loved their families and each other, but their relationship had changed from a traditional husband and wife relationship to a partnership, supporting each other in life.

Revealing Will Smith’s children’s reactions after learning the “shocking” truth about their parents

Jada said her daughter Willow Smith loved the book and read it before it was published, while her sons Jaden Smith and Trey Smith were also informed about its contents. Although the two children have not read the memoir at the moment, Jada told People  that they predict that they will read it in the future.

However, Jada’s revelations in the book made Willow and Jaden feel uncomfortable, especially revealing some private details about her parents’ marriage.

Will Smith has responded to his wife’s book. The Oscar-winning actor said Jada’s revelations had helped him “wake up” and reevaluate their relationship. He also praised his wife as “resilient, intelligent and compassionate.”

In another interview with  The Times of London , Jada said she still wants to be Will Smith’s partner: “I think eventually we’ll live together again. I really want to. Will is getting older. I’m still young but I can clearly see that he’ll need someone to take care of him.”

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith met on a film set in 1994 and married in 1997. The couple have two children together, Jaden Smith (25, actor) and Willow (23, singer). The Smiths are known as a successful Hollywood family with a strong relationship.

In 2020, on a talk show, Jada confessed to having an affair a few years ago with a 21-year-old singer, August, a friend of Jaden’s son. However, she confirmed that she and Will Smith were separated at the time. Will also confirmed this information in a widely broadcast conversation.
