Their relationship, already rocked by past troubles, gets stirred up again when she drops a bombshell about what happened at the crazy 2022 Oscars.

That’s when her husband, Will Smith, smacked comedian Chris Rock, causing a huge mess that got him kicked out of the Oscars gang for ten years. Now, that one event seems to be the turning point for them.

But wait, there’s more to Jada Pinkett Smith’s story. Remember, this is the same big shot who once dissed her marriage to Will in public, crying about it at times.

She talks about soulmates, like her deep connection with the late Tupac Shakur or her fling with August Alsina. It’s complicated, to say the least.

Looking back, she’s sure that slap was a turning point. After all the mess and time apart, she’s standing firm, saying, “That moment showed I’m sticking with him, no matter what.”

She remembers that crazy time after the slap, when she couldn’t believe what was happening. At first, she thought it was all an act, until reality hit her hard.

Jada Pinkett Smith On Blended Family

Jada Pinkett in a Facebook post in 2013 opened up about the struggles and joy of blended families in an opne letter and wrote, “While it isn’t easy, it’s a choice to get involved in that situation and once you do, it’s selfish to separate your man from his previous family.“

Adding, “When she married Will Smith in 1997, he already had a son with ex-wife Sheree Zampino and she said that if she was going to love her stepson Trey as one of her own, she was going to have to form a close relationship with his mother.“

Futhermore, “Blended families are NEVER easy, but here’s why I don’t have a lot of sympathy for your situation because… we CHOOSE them. When I married Will, I knew Trey was part of the package…Period! If I didn’t want that…I needed to marry someone else.“
