Will Smith Wife ‘Scared’ To Divorce Him Because…
Will Smith and Jada Smith, a famous couple, have been quite open about the highs and lows of their relationship. Jada Pinkett Smith disclosed in 2023 that although the couple has been apart since 2016, they have not yet obtained an official divorce via Fandom Wire.
Will and Jada Pinkett Smith have been under fire and public scrutiny over the years due to their open discussions about their relationship. Jada Pinkett Smith gives an explanation for her belief that she will never feel ready to take legal separation from Will Smith.
Jada Pinkett Smith has disclosed in her memoir, Unworthy that she and her husband Will Smith have been separated since 2016. She had mentioned during an interview on Today’s Show that by the time they got to 2016, they were just exhausted with trying to note that they were both stuck in their fantasy of what they assumed the other person would be.
The couple, on an episode of Red Table Talk, once quoted the Bad Boys franchise while explaining their stance on divorce. They said; ‘We ride together. We die together. Bad marriage for life.’ In 2018, the actress admitted on Red Table Talk that she was not mature enough to go ahead with divorce, explaining,
“For me personally, I’m not mature enough to have a divorce. I’m just not. I don’t think I would ever be mature enough, I don’t. Because when you have to start going in, breaking up assets, that’ right there. Let me tell you the truth, that’s when the red table turns upside down and it won’t be red no more.”
Will Smith, who appeared on TIDAL’s Rap Radar Podcast at the time, confessed that they refer to themselves as life partners. He explained (via People),
“Where you get into that space where you realize you are literally with somebody for the rest of your life. There’s no deal-breaker. There’s nothing she could do—ever. Nothing that would break our relationship. She has my support till death; you know what I mean, and it feels so good to get to that space where you’re not complaining, worrying, and demanding that a person be a certain thing.”
During the couple’s appearance on 2020’s Red Table Talk, the couple opened up about Jada Smith’s entanglement with August Alsina while they were separated in 2016. Will Smith’s profile for GQ in 2021 noted that it wasn’t just Jada Pinkett Smith who was engaging in other s*xual relationships, but the actor remain tight-lipped.
