Jada Pinkett Smith first sparked widespread conversation about her marriage to Will Smith while promoting her 2023 memoir, Worthy. In the book, the Girls Trip actress revealed that she and Will quietly separated in 2016, despite remaining legally married. She later expanded on those revelations during interviews, including an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show in November 2025.
Now, years after those bombshell disclosures, fans are still wondering where the couple stands today. While Jada and Will have continued to lead largely separate lives, they have not divorced and have made occasional public appearances together. So are they still together — or simply still married?
It appears that the couple are still together, as Jada revealed during a convention in New York City that she and Will have done some “deep work” on their marriage, according to Variety.
“After the Oscars, that’s when we did some really deep work together,” the Set It Off actress noted, referring to Will’s “Oscars slap” against Chris Rock in 2022. “I was like, ‘I’m riding with you. I didn’t come into this place as your wife, but I’m leaving here as your wife because we got a storm we’re going to have to deal with together. I am not gonna leave your side.’”
However, the former Red Table Talk co-host previously sparked major controversy when she confessed that she and the Aladdin actor had been living “separate lives” for several years during her NBC News interview in October 2023.
On Thanksgiving in 2023, Jada and Will cozied up together as they posed for a photo with their arms wrapped around each other.
During her NBC interview, Jada seemingly hinted at the reason for her and Will’s separation. She noted that they became “exhausted with trying” to work on their relationship, adding, “I think we were both kind of still stuck in our fantasy of what we thought the other person should be.”
