00:03 Now back to the news.
00:05 Jada Pinkett Smith is giving further insight into her and Will Smith's commitment to one
00:09 another despite deciding to live separate lives seven years ago.
00:14 The Girls Trip actress shared in a new interview with Parade Friday that she and the Bad Boys
00:18 star decided to not sign a prenuptial agreement when they wed in 1997 because they never saw
00:23 divorce as an option.
00:26 Pinkett Smith said the now estranged couple told each other ahead of their wedding, "No
00:30 matter what, we're going to figure it out, and that's why we don't need a prenup, because
00:34 I'm making a promise that divorce won't be necessary, that we will figure this out."
00:38 The Matrix Resurrection star now reportedly has a net worth of $50 million, while the
00:43 Independence Day reportedly possesses a much more significant amount at $350 million.
00:49 Pinkett Smith told Parade that she and Smith made a promise to never call it quits during
00:53 a very real moment for the two of them, in which they recognized that there would be
00:57 tough times in this journey.
00:59 The hardships apparently came after having two kids together and nearly 20 years into
01:03 the marriage because the pair decided to separate in 2016.
01:08 Pinkett Smith shocked the world with that revelation this week ahead of the release
01:11 of her memoir, Worthy, since she and Smith had been acting as if they were still a married
01:15 couple for the last few years.
01:18 The Hitch star even infamously slapped Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars for joking about the
01:23 Bad Moms star's bald head, telling the comic at the time, "Keep my wife's name out of your
01:27 f-king mouth."
01:29 Pinkett Smith alleged this week that Smith had not referred to her as his wife for years
01:33 prior to the slap heard around the world.
01:35 "First of all, I'm really shocked, because mind you, I'm not there.
01:40 We haven't called each other husband and wife in a long time," she told Today co-anchor
01:44 Hoda Kotb in an NBC interview that aired Friday.
01:47 "I'm really worried for Will because I don't know what's going on."
01:51 To despite their estrangement, Pinkett Smith shared that she and Smith have no plans to
01:55 actually divorce.
01:56 "I made a promise that there will never be a reason for us to get a divorce," the Nutty
02:01 Professor actress told Kotb, 59.
02:04 "We will work through whatever.
02:06 And I just haven't been able to break that promise."
02:09 Smith has yet to issue a statement on Pinkett Smith's headline-making remarks.
