“We&#8217;re still figuring out” &#8211; Jada Pinkett Smith Confesses She and Will Smith Have Been Separated From the Past Seven Years, Despite Their Undying Love

“It’s okay to fail; it’s not okay to quit.” The line from the Will Smith
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/will-smith/] starrer The Pursuit of Happyness
somehow puts his marriage with Jada Pinkett Smith
[https://www.netflixjunkie.com/tag/jada-pinkett-smith/] in a nutshell. Bonded in
matrimony for over the last 26 years and with two highly successful kids born
out of it, the duo is an undisputed power couple. However, as with many things
in Hollywood, things are not always the way they seem to be. With a combined net
worth of over $400 million, things inside the hearts are not as cordial.

In her biggest-ever confession since the one in 2020 Reb Table Talk, the
Madagascar actress opened up on her marriage with the actor.


JADA PINKETT SMITH AND WILL SMITH HAVE GONE THEIR SEPARATE WAYS DESPITE STAYING
MARRIED

Turns out that despite an aggressive defense of his wife at the 2022 Oscars,
Will Smith was not exactly with Jada Pinkett. In her latest confession with
People, along the lines of her upcoming memoir, Worthy, the actress confirmed
[https://people.com/jada-pinkett-smith-breaks-silence-marriage-oscars-slap-more-exclusive-8349700#:~:text=We%E2%80%99re%20still%20figuring%20it%20out%2C%E2%80%9D%20Jada%20says%20of%20the%20state%20of%20their%20marriage.%20She%20says%20they%20had%20been%20separated%20for%20six%20years%20before%20the%20Oscars%20in%202022.%20%E2%80%9CWe%E2%80%99ve%20been%20doing%20some%20really%20heavy%2Dduty%20work%20together.%20We%20just%20got%20deep%20love%20for%20each%20other%20and%20we%20are%20going%20to%20figure%20out%20what%20that%20looks%20like%20for%20us.%E2%80%9D]
that they have been staying separate for the past seven years. “We’re still
figuring it out,” she summed up. In what might come as a shocker, the Hollywood
A-lister couple is passing through an intense and unconventional marital
discord.



She also cleared that she still was in love with Smith. “We just got deep love
for each other and we are going to figure out what that looks like for us.” The
lines come as a stark and contrasting reflection of their marital discord. While
often appearing at public events together as one, there was no such occult
togetherness behind the cameras. It is no secret that turmoil and rumors have
long circulated about their marriage. Yet, Pinkett herself clearing the air is a
major development.

In the very same interview, the mother of two also spoke of their wedding and
even how Smith acted as her “drug”.


A WHIRLWIND AND UNCONVENTIONAL MARRIAGE THAT NOW BORDERS ON SEPARATION

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett both had their own grief to share and overcome when
they married back in 1997. Processing his divorce from Sheree Zampino, the Men
in Black actor came as a rescue for A Different World actress. Pinkett was under
treatment for intense depression and suicidal thoughts. However, her love for
the actor was so strong that she felt healed to such a level that she no longer
needed medicines. “He became the drug,” the actress summarised.



Jada Pinkett admitted to having been involved with R&B singer August Alsina. In
a tell-all confession, the couple discussed the affair

in brief on Pinkett’s own talk show. And after her recent comments, turns out
that even then they were separated.
