Will Smith & Jada Pinkett Smith’s Relationship: Major Moments & Revelations

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith's marriage has been an unconventional journey. The pair, who tied the knot in 1997, are known for being candid about all the romance and the setbacks they've faced in their many years as life partners. As Jada recently revealed, the pair secretly separated back in 2016 after roughly two decades as husband and wife and kept that decision out of the spotlight for about seven years. Access Hollywood is looking back at all of the major moments in their life together thus far.

Every time I hear Will describe his marriage, I get the feeling this is what he was programmed to say. He himself don’t know what the hell he is talking about, he is simply going along with what Jada decided what they are

[@paradisevezi7192]

I see love in Will's eyes and the way he talks about Jada, but I dont see that in Jada. This is sad i thought they were power couple

[@iamcourtneyrobinson]

Listening to them talk about their marriage makes me feel sad for them both. Will said they realized it was an illusion that they could make each other happy. It seems they had been speaking about what’s going on for a long time now.

In other interviews she elaborated alot more about this. I guess she went through a dark depression and had to assure Will that it was something out of his control. Unrelated to him.

[@npats550]

I cannot believe anything that comes out of this woman says. She gives off controlling, narcissistic, out to destroy this guy full stop. "Crying going down the aisle...constantly putting him down after 3 years of planning a special birthday, filming them in their home after being asked not to,". Hooking up with her kid's friend... And finding no problem with a grandmother teaching her how to master bate at age 9? Ppl wonder why the children, especially Jayden, went nuts as teens and wanted to move out at 15. And Will needs to grow a pair and LEAVE. Anyone else getting "handler", vibes? Ugh!

[@Corliss-bl7bl]

True!

[@moyohome9005]

So in simpler terms they have an open marriage. They will not officially divorce but will continue have other relationships. All this mumbo jumbo about “life partnership” is just a pathetic justification for opening their marriage to whoredom within a marriage covenant.

[@terri3696]

I think this is the best explanation on what is really going on.....Will Smith doesn't ever want to get divorced. He said the same with Cherie. Jada cannot be totally blamed for this, they both want to stay married and life partners but they are separated romantically.

[@kathrinsides2838]

I don’t believe that Will ever cheated on Jada, and the only reason he made the statement claiming that they both had stepped out on their marriage was to cushion the impact for Jada and to deflect some of the blame from her onto him. It’s pretty obvious that he’s heartbroken & in pain & she’s not.

[@Corliss-bl7bl]

They ate the LAST couple to be speaking on marriage.

[@skippyjl1]

Who the hell cares?🤬🤬🤬

[@syifams]

They won't divorce, they said it there and plainly... no need for us to be frustrated guys, they chose this 🤣🤣

[@lawill7614]

BOTH: IMAGE. MONEY. FAMILY. EMPIRE. LEGACY. ALL A LIE !

[@HadassahNaomiC]

Will said they have never surprised each other with anything ever. SMH. Meanwhile Jada is telling Honda she was surprised and confused by him going in stage to slap Chris Rock. She went as far as to say, that when Will said “keep my wife’s name out your mouth”, even that shocked her because they had gotten to a place where they weren’t even referring to each other as husband and wife.

[@chi8772]

Remember will said That before the slap. Will even surprised himself when he slapped Chris

[@YHELLOHORIZON]

THEY HAVE THAT SAME LOOK IN BOTH PICTURES 😂😂😂😂 OMG!! JUST STOP... REALLY REALLY!!!

[@NosiphoNVB]

Marriages are not easy. I think Jada is brave and I wish Will could write his own truth because I believe Will’s actions somehow have put them where they are because how else does he understand and he’s now stupid as people make him to seem but he is responsible for what’s happening. Let’s give them a break to figure out their life. Thanks for the truth Jada ❤

[@cypress2212]

JADE AGES LIKE FINE WINE. SHE LOOKS BETTER THAN EVER.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@alannacbarlow7476]

Dude I’m so confused

[@AutumnS264]

IMAGE IMAGE IMAGE all these people care about is their IMAGE, how they LOOK to the world. not the truth. i would've had a lot more respect for them if they just said in 2016 "we at seperated, but not divorced yet" instead of PRETENDING TO BE HAPPILY married since 2016. it's the pretending part that's gross. it's the CON ARTIST/SCAM THE PUBLIC part that's gross.

[@Corliss-bl7bl]

So if you approved of the " entanglement" why were you crying about it Will?

[@switch1237]

They both are deceivers.

[@ShashanaCO]

They don’t owe you 💩

[@okoronkwo.]

BAD MARRIAGE COUNSELLOR😂😂😂😂😂

[@waw63nyc]

Ev'rybody "knows about" Will & Jada, it's no secret -- the "gay" stuff, I mean. At the end of the day, they're just two people like anybody else. All the media scrutiny is really "no big thang but a chicken wang!"

[@saraneuss4089]

For Hollywood they have a long marriage

[@sarasmith9333]

both are sick

[@danyulwilliams9823]

It’s so shocking and I hope they work things out together ❤😊❤😊❤😊😢😢😢😢
