A big surprise was caused by the statement of Jada Pinkett Smith, the 52-year-old actress and businesswoman, who is the wife of actor and superstar, Will Smith. And, although last year she declared that she planned to divorce, it was not until today that she revealed that she has been separated for seven years.
The former couple married at the age of 26 and had two children together. However, since 2016 they have been living “completely separate lives,” but they did not want to make it known to the world because they did not feel prepared.
In fact, during the remembered 2022 Oscars ceremony, where Smith slapped Chris Rock for making fun of Pinkett’s alopecia, it was she herself who assured that they attended the event as “family” and not as a couple, like everyone thought.

Legally, they are still married, but they are living separate lives. This was explained in the advance of her book by actress Jada Pinkett Smith, where she touches on deep and intimate topics, such as drug use, depression and suicidal thoughts.
But he also touched on topics that were controversial in his life, such as Will Smith’s slap to Chris Rock. The actress confessed that, before going to the ceremony, she had a bad feeling, since the comedian had already made a joke about her at that same gala, but in 2016.
Her fears came true, as one of the most memorable incidents at the Oscars happened, to which the actress and now author will dedicate an entire chapter of her book. According to him, he was not bothered that the joke was about his own alopecia, but rather because of the other people who suffer from the same disorder and their fear that the condition would be taken as a joke that could escalate into bullying and even suicide. .

But when Will Smith started yelling at Rock and got up from his seat, Pinkett felt strange: “Even there I’m still not clear about the reasons why Will is so angry. “We have made separate lives and we were there as a family, not as husband and wife.”
The above impacted her mental health, which brought back memories of her youth and when she began dating the renowned actor. “Once I met Will, I completely abandoned my mental health. I was completely intoxicated by him and our dynamic. I really felt like I was cured. He became my drug,” she revealed.
And although they have been separated for almost a decade, the actress also declared that “we are still seeing how we fix ourselves. We’ve done a lot of hard work together. We feel a deep love for each other and we are going to discover what it is like for us.”
