Jada Pinkett Smith offers some clarification about her split from husband Will Smith in a new interview on the Today show with Hoda Kotb.
If you didn’t see it, the 52-year-old actress made the revelation that she has been separated from Will, who she has been married to since 1997, for seven years. At that time, they had never announced their separation and in fact had attended numerous events together during that time.

Hoda told Jada during the live interview: “One thing that people were still really confused about was… ‘They’re divorced in theory, but not on paper. They weren’t together, but they pretended they were together.’ I had trouble articulating exactly why that was the case. So now that you’ve had more time…why was that?
“We needed time to solidify. Because at the end of the day, Will and I really love each other. We had to really figure out what we wanted before we went out into the world to say what was going on. Because we were in this really fragile place. And now we are super solid. And now I can talk about what the trip has been like,” Jada responded.
Hoda then asked Jada what would happen if either of them found another “great love.”
“You can’t find another great love, and I think that’s the point. It’s like we’re in a place now that we’re in a deep, healing space. And we are really focusing on healing the relationship between us,” she said.
“There is no divorce on paper. We’ve really been working hard,” Jada said, which surprised Hoda since she thought they had broken up for good. Jada then responded: “That’s it. We are working very hard to unite our relationship. Return to a lifelong partnership.” See Hoda’s shocked face below.
“For me, this is what happens with marriage between a husband and wife, for my healing process. I came into it with very specific ideas that prevented me from seeing Will for who he is. He cannot be this perfect, ideal husband. I have to be able to accept him for the human being that he is, (and) he accepts me for the human being that I am. And there we want to love each other,” Jada shared.
