Jada Pinkett Smith justifies pretending to be married to Will Smith while separated as this reason still stops her from making it official.

Jada Pinkett Smith Reveals the One Promise That Doesn’t Allow Her to Divorce Will Smith, Despite a 7-Year Separation

In the last couple of days, Jada Pinkett Smith
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/jada-pinkett-smith/] and Will Smith
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/will-smith/] have once again become the talk
of Tinseltown. This has come about because of some explosive interviews that the
former recently gave that revealed the heart-breaking truth about their
marriage. Despite what they were projecting earlier, the couple had apparently
separated seven whole years ago. Of course, their fans would demand an
explanation as to why they did not just get a divorce. Also, why would they
still refuse to do so?

Now, the Red Table Talk host has finally unveiled the reason behind their
bizarre decision.


WHY DID JADA PINKETT SMITH AND WILL SMITH NOT GET LEGALLY DIVORCED?

While speaking to TODAY’s Hoda Kotb, Jada spoke on a range of reasons as to why
their relationship ended and why they chose to keep it all a secret. Amidst the
conversation, she spoke about how she made a promise to her husband that no
“reason” would justify them parting ways. Regardless of the growing distance
between them, she wanted to keep working on their relationship. Ultimately, the
actress confessed to being “unable” to break that one promise.



In another interview, the mother of two also revealed that the rumors that
started after their separation

were what invited Chris Rock to make an advance on her. This would lead to the
Bad Boys actor’s outburst on the night of the Academy Awards, too. Now, fans are
left questioning why he even slapped the comedian if he and his wife were stuck
in limbo, anyway.

Besides these baffling developments, Jada also spoke of the love they once
shared that led to such devotion.


THE INITIAL ‘INTOXICATION’ OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP

When promoting her upcoming memoir, Worthy, the matriarch of the Smith family
household, teased another tale of their love. Apparently, her book will also
delve into the different stages of their relationship. In the beginning, the
52-year-old even confessed to being so obsessed with the new love

between them that she even “abandoned” her mental health. As somebody who
battled with depression on and off, she was on medication, which she stopped
taking.

It is evident from the way she spoke of her once-strong relationship, that the
flames between the duo were quite strong once. However difficult, they attempted
to mend their relationship because of this. Although Jada Pinkett Smith has
still not revealed if they will now officially separate or not, they seem to
have made their peace with the lost battle. Or maybe they simply continue to
keep that promise.
