For years the rumors have flown about Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith.  Rumors that they have an open relationship, but that’s not quite the case. 

In her new book, Worthy, Pinkett Smith says that they made the decision to live separate lives back in 2016.  Years before the Oscar slap incident and all the attention on their relationship.

Pinkett Smith says they weren’t ready to divorce, but were “exhausted with trying” to make their marriage work.

As far as the Oscar slap, Pinkett Smith says she thought it was a skit at first.
