Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are among Hollywood’s power couple and have been married for over two decades and share two children. However, as suggested by The Matrix actress herself, she didn’t actually want to get married and only took the decision after her mother forced her into it. While the couple has been through several ups and downs in their relationship, things escalated after the Bad Boys star slapped Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars.
Many believe that The Slap was the result of the tension in their marriage and the alleged infidelity among the couple. Both of them have been linked with several Hollywood celebrities, and the couple has reportedly been in several arguments, one of which seemed visible while filming the 2008 romantic drama, Seven Pounds.
