While speaking on the “Today” show, the former talk show host said she and the “Bad Boys” star no longer live in the same household but have kept up the front of being married for the public eye.
She said she and her actor husband, Will Smith didn’t make their divorce public because they weren’t “ready yet” at the time. She added that it was not a divorce on paper but it was a divorce.
”Since 2016, we have been living apart,” she said.
The actress noted that their upcoming divorce would be impossible because she made a promise never to get divorced.
She said: “Why it fractured, that’s a lot of things. I think by the time we got to 2016, we were just exhausted from trying. We were both stuck in our fantasy of what we thought the other person should be. I made a promise that there will never be a reason for us to get a divorce, We will work through whatever, and I just haven’t been able to break that promise.”

Jada Pinkett Smith also claimed that during her and Smith’s separation, her “Madagascar” co-star, Chris Rock, asked to take her out because he thought they were headed for a divorce. She ultimately denied Rock’s request and notified him that the reports were simply rumors.
Following this, fans began speculating this was the real reason why Smith slapped Rock during the 94th Annual Academy Awards back in 2022.
