Will Smith and Jada Pinkett made the world believe they were a ride-or-die couple, but now, a divorce is reportedly around the corner. The Bonny and Clyde mask started to fall off following controversial statements and clips from the duo. Pickett once talked about not wanting to marry Smith and how she cried on their special day.
Even though they claimed that they were in a bad marriage for life during a Red Table Talk Show, it was glaring that Smith was worn out. Reports surfaced that Pinkett had been intimate with August Alsina, her junior, but the couple claimed they had an understanding in their romance.
Fast forward to 2022’s Oscar Award ceremony, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air proved his worth before his queen. Following a G.I. Jane joke from Chris Rock, host of the event where he tugged at Pinkett’s alopecia, Smith rose to her defense — literally.
A Slippery Slope From The Oscar Slap
The actor walked to the stage and slammed his hand on Rock’s face. Unfortunately, everything went uphill from there. Fans heavily criticized Smith, and even though he won his first award for the night, the Award organizers banned him from future events.
Meanwhile, Smith’s career suffered the heat. The movie roles began to lag. It was not until recently that the onscreen star began to pick up the pieces. Now, he is gearing up for a rap career rebirth. However, sources point out that there is another dramatic change set to happen.
Will Smith Considering Divorce From Jada Pinkett
Pinkett, who doubles as an author, says she is done holding their secrets in her memoir, ‘Worthy’. In a press conference aimed at marketing her new release, she claimed they had been separated since 2016.
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett not only lived apart, but they had a crack in their marriage— even though it didn’t seem like it. While they were supposed to work on reconciliation, Pinkett had an “entanglement” with Alsina.
In her Worthy book, she referenced the Chris Rock slap. The author alleged that Smith never made an attempt to call her “wife” after their separation, and she was stricken with surprise at the event. Leaving all these details has influenced Smith’s resolve to put an end to their marriage.
According to Heat World, a whisperer explained that:
“He’s hurt and angry, and this is the final straw. He wants to divorce and end the charade. He also wants to make room in his life for a real relationship, even though a part of him will always love Jada, that ship has sailed.”
There has been no press release yet from the duo, but fans would be right to believe that their romance is in an unstable spot. This is because details of their romance recently traveled in the book but have not made it out of their mouths. So, it might have been a well-kept secret.
