In her biography titled "Worthy", Jada Pinkett Smith reveals that she has not been in a relationship with Will Smith for seven long years and looks back at the famous slap inflicted by her ex on Chris Rock during the Oscars in 2022. She assures him that she and Will Smith were already living "separate lives" at the time.

We thought they were indestructible... Hollywood's iconic couple, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have been through it all together, including the most difficult times. Until Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars, when the comedian was making fun of his wife Jada's alopecia... who hadn't actually been his wife for a very long time.

"We were at the 2022 Oscars as a family"

Very secretive, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith hid their separation, which occurred seven years ago, in 2016. In her new autobiographical book, Worthy, Jada Pinkett Smith says, "We were at the 2022 Oscars as a family, but not as husband and wife." In her book, the actress looks back on this totally crazy evening, the images of which went around the world.

Jada Pinkett Smith Thought The Slap Was A "Skit"

In the front row of the famous slap, Jada Pinkett Smith did not immediately understand that her ex had totally cracked. "I thought it was a skit. It's only when Will yells at Chris from his seat to keep his wife's name out of his fucking mouth, and then repeats it, that I sense the gravity of the situation, and that, no, it's not a skit," the actress explains. "I don't understand why Will is so upset. We lived separate lives. But when I hear Will yelling 'woman' in the chaos of the moment, I'm instantly like, 'Oh shit... I'm his wife!'" A totally grotesque situation for the actress, who has been separated from her partner for years. A year and a half after that sequence, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have unfortunately not been able to save their marriage.

"We did a very hard job together. We just have a deep love for each other, and we're going to find out what divorce looks like for us," Jada Pinkett Smith said in her bio. Surprising revelations as the couple has appeared to be very close for years, despite the rumors of separation, which were therefore not simple rumors...
