American actor Will Smith has finally broken his silence after Jada Pinkett Smith’s recent revelations about their marriage.
Will Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett recently disclosed that they had been living separate lives since 2016. For this reason, Jada said she was surprised when Will slapped comedian Chris Rock on stage at the 2022 Academy Awards for making a joke about her alopecia.
Speaking in a recent interview with Hoda Kotb, Jada Pinkett admitted that she was taken aback when Will Smith referred to her as his wife because he had not done that in a long while.
“Why it fractured…that — that’s a lot of things … 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,” TODAY quoted her as saying.
