Why I can’t divorce Will Smith – Jada Pinkett 

 

 

Jada Pinkett Smith, the US actress, has explained why she cannot divorce Will Smith, her husband.

 

The couple have been in the news on several occasions for controversial reasons.

 

Recently, Jada revealed that she and her husband have been living separately since 2016.

 

In an interview with On Purpose podcast, Jay Shetty the podcast host, read a message from Smith celebrating ‘Worthy’, Jada’s newly released memoir.

 

In the message, Smith said if he had read her book 30 years ago, he would have hugged her more.

 

He expressed his love for her and welcomed her to the ”authors club”.

 

Smith also suggested that she unwind with a glass of red wine to celebrate their achievement.

 

The host read, “I applaud and honour you. If I had read this book 30 years ago, I definitely would have hugged you more. I’ll start now. Welcome to the authors club. I love you endlessly. Now go get some Merlot and take a rest.”

 

Reacting to her husband’s kind words, the actress blushed and said Smith’s sense of humour is the reason she cannot divorce “that joker”.

 

“Hahaha. He knows I cannot have no Merlot. That is beautiful. That is why I cannot divorce that joker.”

 

In 2020, Will and Jada were in the spotlight over reports of Jada’s affair with August Alsina, the US rapper.

 

They also made the headlines in March after Smith slapped Chris Rock, the comedian, at the 2022 Oscars for making a joke about his wife’s shaved head.
