Will Smith-Jada Pinkett Smith’s relationship

Will Smith has been in the news ever since her wife Jada Pinkett Smith dropped bombshells about the truth behind their marriage. The actress revealed that they have been living separate lives since 2016. She said that they aren't formally divorced and have no plans to legal steps toward finalising their divorce.

However, revealed to Kotb, that 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.”
