Jada Pinkett Smith talked about sharing 'deep love' for Will Smith

In an October interview with 'Today's Hoda Kotb, Jada shared why they aren’t legally separated. 

"I think just not being ready yet. Still trying to figure out between the two of us how to be in partnership, right, and in regards to how do we present that to people, you know? And we hadn't figured that out," she said.

"I think 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," she added.

In another interview with People, Jada said, "We're still figuring it out. We've been doing some really heavy-duty work together."

"We just got deep love for each other and we are going to figure out what that looks like for us," she explained.

"I don’t like either one of them and could care less about what they do or what they think," another slammed the pair.

A user commented, "They're still trying, I don't believe they ever separated. Just attention seeking. I can't stand these 2."

"My feelings about Will and his wife. Have not and will not change. It doesn't matter who is in a movie with him," one blasted.

Another said on the latest flick, "I like Martin but Will Smith is still cancelled. I won't be watching."

"Their children are always on pose alert and look miserable. Will's son Trey just smiles and acts natural," one observed.
