Jada Pinkett Smith, recently, sent internet into a tizzy when she revealed that she and Will Smith have been living separately since 2016. Jada Pinkett Smith dropped a bombshell during an interview with NBC. The news was greeted with mixed reactions. Jada Pinkett Smith, though, also made it clear that the couple was not legally divorced, but just living “separately” for about seven years. Now, actor Will Smith has spoken out about his relationship with his estranged wife.
The well-known Hollywood actor said the relationship with Jada Pinkett Smith had been “tumultuous”, bizarrely terming it “brutiful”.
“I just really wanted to come out and just be here and hold it down for you the way you have held it down for me,” Will Smith was quoted as saying by Baltimore Sun after making a surprise appearance at the Enoch Pratt Free Library to support Jada Pinkett Smith.
“We have had a very, very long and tumultuous [relationship]. We call it ‘brutiful.’ It was brutal and beautiful at the same time.”
Jada Pinkett Smith had made the shocking revelations in a NBC News prime-time special with Hoda Kotb, previews of which aired on last week.
“Why it fractured, that’s a lot of things,” Jada Pinkett Smith said of her relationship with Will Smith.
“I think by the time we got to 2016, we were just exhausted with trying.”
“We were both kind of still stuck in our fantasy of what we thought the other person should be,” she added.
Later in the preview clip, Jada Pinkett Smith revealed why she couldn’t go forward with legally divorcing Will Smith.
“I made a promise that there will never be a reason for us to get a divorce. We will work through whatever,” Jada Pinkett said in previews of the NBC interview.
“I just haven’t been able to break that promise.”
“We live separately,” she added.
