Married, in an open relationship or separated? This Tuesday, Jada Pinkett Smith appeared on The Drew Barrymore Show and promoted her memoir, Worthy. During the conversation, she spoke again about her relationship with Will Smith.
Just over a month ago, the Red Table Talk host revealed that she and her partner had been living apart for seven years, although they never signed the divorce.
On the talk show, host Drew Barrymore mentioned the couple’s split. “I feel like your shadow and his shadow may have separated in some way in this book, whether they stay together forever or not. “It feels like you’ll be together forever,” Barrymore says.
Jada responded by confirming that she and the star would remain married: “We’ll be together forever,” she said. And he added of the split: “I tried. We try. I thought, I don’t even have to talk about him much… I want to be with this person.”

The actress, who has been married to Smith since 1997 and has two children with the actor, had already spoken about the separation in an interview with the “Today” show. “I think by the time we got to 2016 we were exhausted by the effort,” he commented.
She added that she thought about filing for divorce but ultimately gave up on the idea. “I promised that there would never be any reason for us to divorce. We will solve everything, whatever it is, and I just couldn’t break that promise,” he said.
