<p id=”par-7_53″>Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith’s marriage has been one of Hollywood’s most talked-about relationships. Wed since 1997, their unconventional relationship has sparked endless discussions. These came to a head after Jada’s bombshell revelations on <a href=”https://www.facebook.com/redtabletalk/videos/jada-and-will-their-first-one-on-one-conversation/1068231806926090/” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>Facebook’s Red Table Talk</a> about her relationship with August Alsina, separating from Will, and her personal growth. </p>
<p id=”par-8_37″>Despite their relationship’s ups and downs, Will and Jada describe their love as an evolving partnership built on transparency and resilience. Both have referred to their marriage as a “life partnership” rather than a traditional union. </p>
<p id=”par-9_28″>In 2023, Jada revealed that she and Will separated in 2016. However, there are no plans to end their legal marriage although Jada claims she has considered it.</p>
<p id=”par-10_52″>“Why it fractured…that — that’s a lot of things … By the time we got to 2016, we were just exhausted with trying. I think we were both kind of just still stuck in our fantasy of what we thought the other person should be,” she told Hoda Kotb for <a href=”https://www.today.com/popculture/jada-pinkett-will-smith-separated-rcna105300″ target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>TODAY</a>. </p>

Will Smith Reveals He Started Making Music Again Because of His Oscars Incident </a>
</p>
</div>
<p id=”par-11_50″>In 2022, Will Smith received a 10-year ban from the Oscars after <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/inside-zoe-kravitz-will-smith-jaden-smith-drama-infamous-oscars-slap.html/?swcfpc=1″>slapping Chris Rock</a> during the live ceremony. This ban prohibits Smith from attending the Academy Awards or participating in any Academy-related events, though <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/will-smith-another-oscar-nomination-2022-slap.html/?swcfpc=1″>it doesn’t prevent him</a> from being nominated or winning an Oscar in the future. </p>
<p id=”par-12_30″>The incident occurred after Chris made a joke about <a href=”https://www.cheatsheet.com/entertainment/jada-pinkett-smith-found-referred-will-smiths-wife-annoying.html/?swcfpc=1″>Will’s wife</a>, Jada Pinkett Smith, prompting an emotional and unexpected reaction from the actor. Smith later apologized for his actions. </p>
<p id=”par-13_63″>Smith, who had won the Best Actor Oscar that same evening for <em>King Richard</em>, faced significant fallout from the incident, including damage to his public image and career. He later admitted during an appearance on <em><a href=”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4O1DgGnmIJM” target=”_blank” rel=”noreferrer noopener”>The Daily Show</a></em>, “You just don’t know what’s going on with people. And I was going through something that night. Not that that justifies my behavior at all.”</p>
<p id=”par-14_39″>Will Smith will release his upcoming album, <em>Based on a True Story</em>, in March 2025. <em>Based on a True Story</em> will mark Smith’s full return to music after 20 years. His last solo album, <em>Lost and Found</em>, was released in 2005. </p>
