Hollywood stars Jada Pinkett Smith revealed that she and her husband, Will Smith, have been secretly separated since 2016, adding that they are still trying to "figure out" what the future of their marriage looks like. 

Jada, 52, made the revelation in a new interview with People, as reported by dailymail.co.uk on Wednesday, Oct. 11.

In the same interview, Jada also admitted that she and Will, 55, had been living separately when her husband slapped comedian Chris Rock at the Oscars in 2022. Jada and Will got married in 1997.

The report also states that Jada will discuss her current relationship in a sit-down interview with NBC News. 

"We've been doing some really heavy-duty work together. We just got deep love for each other and we are going to figure out what that looks like," said Jada, in a report by dailymail.co.uk.

Jada also commended her children, Jaden, 25, Willow, 22, and Trey, 30, Will's son from a previous relationship, for supporting her during the difficult time in her relationship.

"My children, they're little gurus. They've taught me a deep sense of self-acceptance. They love every part of me. The level of love, unconditional love that they have for me and their dad. 

"And it's one thing to want to be the person that gives that unconditional love. And then there's, to be the recipient of that," Jada added.
