25 years of imperfect relationships of the sweet couplle Will Smith and Jada Pinkett
The 94th Academy Awards ceremony will be remembered for the slap that Will Smith gave to the host of the ceremony for the latter’s inappropriate joke about his wife Jada Pinkett. For this act, the actor paid a ten-year ban on attending the Oscar ceremony. Of course, he apologized for his overly impulsive behavior, but many appreciated Will Smith’s bold manner to protect a loved one. At the same time, the marriage of the actors isn’t ideal.
Their first meeting took place in 1990, when the actor was approved for the lead role of «The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air». They couldn’t manage to work together in that project but Smith noticed the charm of Jada. At that time he was married to Sheri Zampino, but the family was already on the verge of collapse. However, Will and Jada managed to become friends, but there was no talk of any deeper feelings. They started dating only five years later, when the actor was just in a state of divorce from his wife.
In 1997, Jada Pinkett became pregnant and even then did not want to officially register her marriage. However, Will Smith was opposite: the child should be born in a full-fledged family. It seemed as the family was living in a peace and solidarit. In 1998, their son Jaden was born, and two years later the daughter Willow was born. The couple managed to take care of their children and at the same time successfully act in films, and in public they demonstrated complete mutual understanding and harmony. But already in 2011, it became impossible to hide problems in the family.
First, there were rumors about Jada’s betrayals, they even called the name of her new lover — singer Marc Anthony. There was even talk of the imminent breakup of the Smith family. The couple assured that everything was in order with them, there was no question of any divorce. The actress claimed that her relationship with her husband was trusting.
When the actress began to appear in public in the company of August Alsin, they again started talking about the upcoming divorce of Will Smith. Later Jada herself admitted that there was actually an episode with August in her life, but she did not receive any permission from her husband. It’s just that their relationship by that time turned out to be too confused, she tried to find support under her feet, which is why she had an affair with another man.
The Smiths are determined to save their love and their marriage, so Will Smith’s joke from the host at the Oscars was something insulting. When Chris Rock compared Jada’s very close-cropped hair to Jane’s soldier from the film of the same name, the actor flew onto the stage, told the comedian to shut his mouth, and slapped him resoundingly. The fact is that his wife has been suffering from hair loss for quite a long time, and a short haircut is not a tribute to fashion and not an attempt to shock the public, but a necessity. Will Smith, knowing how much trouble it caused for his wife, simply could not help but stand up for her. He defended the most precious thing he has. Let the relationship of Jada Pinkett and Will Smith be far from traditional, but they love each other, and this is probably the most important thing.
