Some rumors are floating around about Will Smith and Jada Pinkett. They’re living in separate rooms, but they’re still technically married. Now, I know what you’re thinking – what’s going on here? Is their marriage on the rocks? Are they secretly on the verge of a breakup?
Well, let’s get one thing straight – these are just rumors but hey, gossip is gossip, right? It’s no secret that Will and Jada have had their fair share of ups and downs throughout their 20+ year marriage. They’ve been very open about the challenges they’ve faced and how they’ve worked through them. But living in separate rooms? That’s a whole new level!
Now, there could be a perfectly reasonable explanation for this. Maybe they just need some personal space or their work schedules are conflicting. I mean, who hasn’t wanted their room at some point, right?
The I Am Legend actor, 56, and the Matrix star, 53, are ‘are living their own lives but haven’t completely severed ties,’ a source told People on Thursday.
‘Call it what you want,’ the source added. Meanwhile, another inside said the pair, who got married in 1997, are ‘still together’ but ‘have had separate homes for years.’
In 2023 it was reported that Jada has her own house nearby to Will in Calabasas.
Smith is also said to be ‘a bit disillusioned with Hollywood’ at the moment the first source shared, adding that it could ‘all change with some new success.’
The pair have been working on their relationship after Jada disclosed in 2023 that they had been separated for seven years, beginning in 2016.
‘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 for us,’ she shared at the time.
Jada previously shared that she will live with Will again one day to ‘take care of him’ because he’s ‘getting old’ in a 2023 interview with The Times.
While promoting her memoir Worthy on the Today show in 2023 she gave insight into her marital woes and told host Hoda Kotb that the marriage had left them ‘exhausted.’
‘I think by the time we got to 2016 we were just exhausted with trying,’ Pinkett Smith said on the broadcast.
‘I think we were both kind of just still stuck in our fantasy of what we thought the other person should be,’ she explained of what caused them to drift apart.
In Pinkett Smith’s book, Worthy, she describes the separation as a ‘divorce,’ but clarified they never filed any paperwork.
‘It was not a divorce on paper. But it was a divorce,’ Pinkett Smith said.
This isn’t the first time news of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett’s separation has popped up, they keep having marital issues and this probably won’t be the last time we will hear of their separation or divorce. Despite all that has happened in the past, they remain a couple even though they’re rumored to be living in separate rooms.
