Well this is a surprising turn of events!
Jada Pinkett Smith has revealed that herself and her husband Will Smith have been secretly separated for years.
The Hollywood power couple have been together since 1997 and have two children who are now famous in their own right - Willow and Jaden.
In a recent interview with People Magazine to promote her new memoir, Jada gave an insight into the complicated marriage she has with the Fresh Prince actor.

“We’re still figuring it out. We just got deep love for each other and we are going to figure out what that looks like for us.”
“We’ve been doing some really heavy-duty work together,” she continued.
“We just got deep love for each other and we are going to figure out what that looks like for us.”
She then revealed that at the time the famous slap at the 2022 Oscar happened, the pair of them had actually been separated for 6 years.
Will Smith went to great lengths to defend Jada against a GI Jane joke Chris Rock made about her bald head (which is a result of alopecia).
From his seat he loudly called for Chris Rock to "Keep my wife’s name out of your f***ing mouth".
What was already a huge scene was escalated even further when Will Smith approached Chris on stage and slapped him across the face.
In the interview with People magazine, Jada spoke about how she felt in that moment.
“I thought, ‘This is a skit,’” she said, “I was like, ‘There’s no way that Will hit him.’”
“It wasn’t until Will started to walk back to his chair that I even realised it wasn’t a skit.” she added.
