Jada Pinkett Smith reveals why she and estranged husband Will never signed a prenup
  • 6 months ago
Jada Pinkett Smith is giving further insight into her and Will Smith’s commitment to one another despite deciding to live separate lives seven years ago.

The “Girls Trip” actress shared in a new interview with Parade Friday that she and the “Bad Boys” star decided to not sign a prenuptial agreement when they wed in 1997 because they never saw divorce as an option.

Pinkett Smith said the now-estranged couple told each other ahead of their wedding, “‘No matter what, we’re going to figure it out and that’s why we don’t need a prenup, because I’m making a promise that divorce won’t be necessary, that we will figure this out.'”

The “Matrix Resurrections” star now reportedly has a net worth of $50 million, while the “Independence Day” reportedly possesses a much more significant amount at $350 million.

Pinkett Smith told Parade that she and Smith made a promise to never call it quits during a “very real moment” for the two of them, in which they recognized that there would be “tough times in this journey.”

The hardships apparently came after having two kids together and nearly 20 years into the marriage because the pair decided to separate in 2016.

Pinkett Smith shocked the world with that revelation this week ahead of the release of her memoir, “Worthy,” since she and Smith had been acting as if they were still a married couple for the last few years.

The “Hitch” star even infamously slapped Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars for joking about the “Bad Moms” star’s bald head, telling the comic at the time, “Keep my wife’s name out of your f–king mouth.”

Pinkett Smith alleged this week that Smith had not referred to her as his “wife” for years prior to the slap heard around the world.

“First of all, I’m really shocked, because mind you, I’m not there. We haven’t called each other husband and wife in a long time,” she told “Today” co-anchor Hoda Kotb in an NBC interview that aired Friday.

“I’m really worried for Will because I don’t know what’s going on.”

Despate their estrangement, Pinkett Smith shared that she and Smith have no plans to actually divorce.

I made a promise that there will never be a reason for us to get a divorce,” the “Nutty Professor” actress told Kotb, 59.

“We will work through whatever. And I just haven’t been able to break that promise.”

Smith has yet to issue a statement on Pinkett Smith’s headline-making remarks.
