Jada Pinkett Smith confronts Will Smith gay rumors and more bombshells from NBC special
“Worthy,” which hits shelves on Oct. 17.In snippets of the interview shared Thursday, Pinkett Smith revealed she and her husband Will Smith, 55, have been separated for the past seven years — even when he told Chris Rock to keep his “wife’s f–cking name out” of his mouth at the 2022 Oscars. “First of all, I’m really shocked, because mind you, I’m not there.
We haven’t called each other husband and wife in a long time,” she told Kotb, 59.Pinkett Smith added she was very confused at the time, saying: “I’m really worried for Will because I don’t know what’s going on.” The couple married in 1997 and share kids, Jaden, 25, Willow, 22, and Trey, 30. (Will welcomed son Trey, 30, with ex wife Sheree Zampino.)Despite living separately for nearly a decade, Pinkett Smith claims she and the “Switch” rapper won’t be divorcing anytime soon.But the “Magic Mike” star’s full conversation with Kotb revealed even more bombshells.
Jada Pinkett and Will Smith’s marriage has been the subject of many rumors, including whether they’re in an open marriage, are swingers, or one of them is gay.But when Kotb asked Jada straight up if any of that was true, she denied it. “I would say that none of that’s true,” Pinkett Smith responded. “I definitely can understand why there would be misunderstandings, but none of it’s true.”The reason why Hollywood’s power couple won’t legally divorce is simple: They don’t want to. “We don’t want to because we love our family and we love each other” Pinkett Smith claimed. “You know, it’s more of a life partnership.
Now 10 years from now, Hoda? Who knows,” she laughed, adding the pair are currently focused on “deep healing” rather than letting each other know if they’re in other relationships.
