There was a time when fans believed Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith were couple goals until the actress shattered that image with comments on her marriage. Fans have been left truly confused about what is happening between the pair and whether they are even in a relationship at all? And now, a new report has shed light on their unconventional marriage.
A source recently told People that Jada and Will have had “separate homes for years,” but despite this, they are “still together.” The source adds, “They are living their own lives but haven’t completely severed ties.” Does this clear things up for us? Well, no, not exactly. If anything, it just leaves us with more questions.
This statement suggests that despite the pair’s nontraditional view of marriage, they have found a way to make things work. This is good news, considering they have been together for decades and share two children, Willow and Jaden Smith.
What Do We Know About Will Smith And Jada Pinkett Smith’s Marriage?
Will and Jada Pinkett Smith have been married since 1997, and it has not been all sunshine and rainbows. But the most shocking statement came when Jada admitted to being in an “entanglement” with Alsina. It was a statement that, at the time, no one saw coming, but now, we have heard a lot more about their marriage and how it is far from perfect, including multiple breakups over the years. Their most notable split is believed to have occurred in 2016.
Jada has also been open about their relationship requiring work. “We’ve been doing some really heavy-duty work together,” she previously told People. “We just got deep love for each other and we are going to figure out what that looks like for us.” This includes giving each other space.
As for the Six Degrees of Separation actor, he has made reference to his relationship in his 2021 memoir, Will, informing readers that his relationship with Jada had its problems and at times they were “miserable.”
The pair have also been said to have an “open” marriage. In addition to concerns for their relationship, fans have also been vocal about their worries for Jada’s health. In November 2024, she made headlines after a photo of her and Will emerged, and fans were shocked by how frail she looked. “Jada’s look was absolutely shocking – she looked like she was stumbling around, with her eyes half-closed and seemed absolutely exhausted and super-skinny,” a source told RadarOnline at the time.
We can’t comment on Will and Jada’s relationship status, but it appears that, against all odds, they have found a way to make their marriage work. But is their approach for everyone? Nope!
