Jada Pinkett Smith has revealed that she and husband Will Smith have been separated for the last seven years.

The Set It Off and Girls Trip actor, 52, has been married to the former Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star since 1997. Together, they share children Jaden and Willow, as well as Will’s son Trey, whom he had with his first wife, Sheree Zampino. In a new interview with People magazine, Jada shared some insight into her relationship with the Oscar-winning star.

When asked about the state of their marriage, Jada replied: “We’re still figuring it out.” She then revealed that at the time of the 2022 Academy Awards, when Will slapped Chris Rock, they had been separated for six years. “We’ve been doing some really heavy-duty work together,” she continued. “We just got deep love for each other and we are going to figure out what that looks like for us.”

As for her children, Jada praised them for how they’ve helped her grow. “My children, they’re little gurus. They’ve taught me a deep sense of self-acceptance.” Jada and Will have shared details of their non-traditional outlook on their marriage on several occasions. For one, Will explained in 2018 that they didn’t refer to themselves as “married”, and preferred alternative terms to describe their bond.
