In October 2023, while promoting her memoir Worthy, Jada revealed that she and Will have been divorced since 2016 but remain married.
While promoting the literary efforts on the Today show, she told host Hoda Kotb that the marriage had left them “exhausted.”
“I think by the time we got to 2016 we were just exhausted from trying,” Pinkett Smith said on air.
“I think we were both still stuck in our fantasies of what we thought the other person should be like,” she explained.
However, in her memoir, she wrote that she decided to stay by her husband’s side the moment he punched Chris Rock while defending her at the 2022 Oscars.
At the 94th Academy Awards, Will got out of his seat and walked onto the stage to punch Chris after the comedian made a joke about Jada looking like “GI Jane,” referring to her bald head, which she shaves due to alopecia.
After returning to his seat, Will shouted at Chris twice, “Keep my wife’s name out of your damn mouth,” surprising the live audience and viewers at home.
Looking back, Jada said of the incident: “I knew it was going to be a strong reaction. And that was the moment I decided that I would stay by his side.
“You know, it’s funny how intense situations can strengthen love, and it was a pretty tough time, but it definitely brought us closer. So yeah, it’s crazy how things work.”

Pinkett Smith was criticized for her appearance, with one person citing her health
“She doesn’t look well,” someone else weighed in
After Jada spoke publicly about their marital estrangement, Smith followed up with his own comments on the situation.
In an email published in the New York Timeshe said her comments about their relationship were a wake-up call for him, adding that she was “more resilient, smarter and more compassionate” than he had realized.
The King Richard star told the newspaper: ‘When you’re with someone for more than half your life, there’s a kind of emotional blindness that sets in.
“And it’s all too easy to lose your sensitivity to their hidden nuances and subtle beauties.”
