Jada Pinkett Smith’s recent statement about divorce from Will Smith stirred more buzz and has reportedly impacted their children’s well-being. But, even before the news broke out, Willow and Jaden had been posting cryptic messages on social media.
The Smiths’ marriage had been in turmoil since 2016 when they decided to lead completely different lives. Despite their irreconcilable differences, the ex-couple revealed divorce is not an option.
Jada Pinkett Smith Reveals Why She Won’t Divorce Will Smith
Jada Pinkett Smith explained in her upcoming NBC News special why she’s hesitant to legally separate from Will Smith (via Today):
“I made a promise that there will never be a reason for us to get a divorce. We will work through whatever. And I just haven’t been able to break that promise.”
When asked what led to the “fracture” of their marriage, she said:
“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.”
The controversy was made even more publicized after Smith’s infamous Oscar slap, where he hit comedian Chris Rock live on television after the latter made a joke about his wife’s alopecia. Pinkett Smith also claimed they were struggling with how to work their partnership amid rumors of her entanglement with singer August Alsina.

All these troubling updates about Will and Jada Pinkett Smith’s broken relationship have taken a toll on their children’s mental health. A source close to the family revealed that Willow and Jaden are deeply affected by their parents’ decisions. Speaking with National Enquirer, the insider reported (via Radar Online):
“Willow and Jaden are both extremely fragile right now and clearly traumatized by their parents’ behavior to the point where they’re acting out. People are sick and tired of Jada’s two-faced lies and airing dirty laundry while grinding Will into the ground. It seems to be having an adverse effect on their kids, too.”
According to the source, Willow and Jaden have been posting cryptic messages on social media in what signifies like a cry for help. The informant further added:
“Their kids are sending these twisted SOS calls for help. People are pointing the finger of blame at Jada and Will for letting this happen.”
Both of them are reportedly humiliated by the way their parents “destroyed their marriage” in front of the public.
