Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith dubbed a ‘joke’ after they still consider themselves a 'force in Hollywood’ despite separation

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Despite the revelation of their separation, Hollywood power couple Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith remain unwavering in their commitment to both their relationship and their impact on the entertainment industry, according to an insider.

The couple, who disclosed that they have been separated since 2016, is said to approach their personal and professional lives with resilience.

Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith still see themselves as 'a force in Hollywood'

The insider emphasized that the duo is not shying away from 'hard work' in navigating the complexities of their relationship and their careers.

"Yes, they're separated, but they still consider themselves an important team and a force in Hollywood. Time will tell if that proves to be the case," the source noted.

"I feel like maybe your and his shadow separated in a way in this book, whether they stay together forever or not," Drew Barrymore said of Jada’s memoir, 'Worthy'. "It sounds like you're staying together forever."

Jada Pinkett-Smith, during an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show on November 28, 2023 affirmed that despite their separation, divorce is not on the horizon. When discussing her memoir 'Worthy', with host Drew Barrymore, she stated, "We’re staying together forever. I tried. We tried."

In a separate interview, Jada reflected on how an unexpected incident, Will Smith's controversial Academy Awards slap,“saved” their marriage.

She shared, "I nearly didn't even attend the Oscars that year, but I'm glad I did. I call it the 'holy slap' now because so many positive things came after it."

“That moment of the s**t hitting the fan is when you see where you really are,” she shared. “After all those years trying to figure out if I would leave Will’s side, it took that slap for me to see I will never leave him. Who knows where our relationship would be if that hadn’t happened?”

"It’s been so difficult for Will to stand by and hear all the things Jada’s been saying about him and their relationship," the insider noted.

"A part of Will wanted to believe they could work it out," they said. "Jada wrote in her tell-all that they were ‘basically broken up,’ but Will didn’t see it that way. No, they were giving each other space and figuring things out."
