According to the search results, Jada Pinkett Smith and her husband Will Smith have been separated since 2016. Jada confirmed this separation in a clip from her forthcoming NBC News prime-time special with Hoda Kotb promoting her memoir, Worthy. She added that they live “completely separate lives” and function as divorced people do. Jada also revealed that she had a relationship with R&B singer August Alsina while “temporarily” separated from her husband. In October 2022, Will Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Oscars after Rock made a joke about Jadas shaved head, which is a result of her alopecia. Following the incident, Jada found herself at the center of rumors that she had "told Will to do something" in response to Rocks comment, but she denied these rumors.
