Recently, Jada Pinkett Smith has opened that she and Will Smith decided to live separate lives back in 2016. This revelation came as a shock to numerous, considering their far-standing and seemingly strong connection.

In an interview promoting her upcoming memoir, “Worthy,” Jada shared the full info of their decision to take a break after years of struggling to make their wedding work. In spite of being officially married, they hadn’t referred to each other as spouse and wife in all those years.

This news stirred controversy, especially after Jada’s previous admission of having an “entanglement” with vocalist August Alsina in 2020. The timing of this feud has raised eyebrows, as it coincides with the release of her memoir, including fuel to the speculation about her intentions.

Jada revealed that the decision to live separately was due to their exhaustion from trying to meet societal expectations and the public’s opinions about their connection. Despite their separation, the duo continued to present a united front publicly, with Will even defending Jada during the unknown Oscars slap incident.

Critics argue that Jada’s recent reveal are damaging to Will’s reputation, with some assertions her of attempting to gain attention and publicity for her book.

Many fans are showing sympathy for Will, believing he has been unfairly treated and embarrassed by Jada’s behaviour.
