In a clip from an interview with Hoda Kotb on Today Show, Jada made the revelation in her new memoir, Worthy, where she detailed the status of her relationship with Will Smith. She said that they aren't formally divorced and have no plans to legal steps toward finalising their divorce.

However, revealed to Kotb, the split was practically a "divorce" because she and Smith are no longer romantically involved. When asked about the reason behind their failed marriage, Jada said, “I think 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.”
