Why Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith are separated but not divorced

In her 2023 memoir "Worthy," Pinkett Smith opened up about her and Smith's split in 2016 and why they have not divorced.

By the end of 2016, after 19 years of marriage, the two "flunked out of marriage therapy," Pinkett Smith wrote. They decided to "separate in every way except legally" and "remain family-strong, not lose our friendship, and maintain our policy of complete transparency – i.e. no secrets about what we were doing and whom we were doing it with."

The Smiths' union is a "life partnership, and we're still trying to figure out what that means for us," the "Girls Trip" star told USA TODAY last year. "These last two years have brought up a lot of stuff, and he and I've really just been focusing on healing together, and that's really been our priority.

"It's actually been really beautiful," she added. "Really intense circumstances can amplify love, or they can take you in the other direction and really deteriorate it. We've taken advantage of learning how to amplify it."

When Smith made headlines in 2022 for slapping Chris Rock on stage at the Oscars after the comedian made an offensive joke about Pinkett Smith, the two became closer, Pinkett Smith has said.

Th estranged couple had "lots of conversations" about the ordeal, and she wrote that the incident taught her "how to practice love unconditionally. All that thorny history of our complicated life together became a nonissue."
