In a preview of an upcoming NBC News primetime special with Hoda Kotb, Jada Pinkett Smith reveals that she and husband Will Smith separated in 2016 after the famed couple became “exhausted with trying” to save their marriage. Pinkett Smith is in the midst of doing press for her upcoming memoir, “Worthy,” in which she opens up about her split from Smith for the very first time.
“Why it fractured? That's a lot of things, and I think by the time we got to 2016, we were just exhausted with trying,” Pinkett Smith tells Kotb. “I think we were both stuck in our fantasy of what we thought the other person should be.”
