Jada Pinkett Smith has become one of the prominent names in the United States this week, particularly in the world of the heart. The actress and presenter confessed in an interview that she had lived separately from her husband, Will Smith, for the last seven years. Since 2016, the two have been living separate lives, despite having gotten together for multiple events since then, including the controversial 2022 Oscars gala.
It was there that the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air actor slapped event host Chris Rock after making a joke about Jada's alopecia. An action that cost the American actor the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, in addition to the surprised and negative reactions from half the world. However, it was in a new interview where he revealed the fact that most surprised the Baltimore native.
“First of all, I'm in shock because, think about it, I'm not there. We haven't called each other husband and wife in a long time. “I'm worried about Will because I don't know what's going on,” commented Pinkett Smith, describing the situation as he experienced it. It was a surprising reaction, one of many in the theater, to the phrase Will uttered before going on stage and attacking Rock: “Keep my wife's name out of your f***ing mouth!”
This is just one of the many details that the presenter has revealed in dribs and drabs, as the extensive interview for the Today Show became public fragment by fragment. Other interesting statements she left this week occurred on the Rolling Out podcast, with Christal Jordan. There, Jada Pinkett Smith revealed that she had a special bond with rapper Tupac Shakur, equivalent to a soul mate.
“If there is such a thing as past lives, I definitely think Pac and I traveled together for a few,” he said. “It was like God made us that way. He was like, 'Look, I'm going to put you together, okay? You're going to be a dynamic duo. But I'll tell you too, I'm going to make sure you can't be together because that's not the purpose,'” she added. Despite the good connection, Jada ruled out starting a relationship with Shakur due to “lack of chemistry.”
Her relationship with Will Smith was also another topic of much-discussed discussion in recent days. “I think we were both still trapped in the fantasy of thinking what the other should be,” he commented in his interview for the Today Show. Jada also had words on the matter for People magazine: “We're still trying to figure it out. Many things have happened. The thing about relationships is that they are constantly moving. Relationships are an organism, they are their own thing.”
