Jada Pinkett Smith Admits They Have Been Separated Since 2016

Jada Pinkett Smith is starring in an upcoming NBC News Prime-Time Special with host Hoda Kotb where the Red Table Talk host reveals that the Hollywood power couple had been living “completely separate lives” since 2016.

Jada explained that up until now, her and Will were “still trying to figure out how to be in partnership.”

As of now, it’s not clear what led to the conclusion of their relationship.

“Why it fractured … that’s a lot of things. By the time we got to 2016, we were just exhausted with trying. I think we were both kind of just still stuck in our fantasy of what we thought the other person should be.”

The actress expressed that she considered a legal divorce, but she just couldn’t bring herself to do it.

“I made a promise that there will never be a reason for us to get a divorce. We will work through whatever. I just haven’t been able to break that promise.”
