LA – Jada Pinkett Smith, in clip from her forthcoming NBC News primetime special with Hoda Kotb, said she and husband Will Smith have been living “completely separate lives” since 2016 but did not go public with their separation because they were not “ready yet,“ and are “still trying to figure out between the two of us, how to be in partnership.“ Will Smith and Jada Pinkett’s son Jaden Smith, in a resurfaced interview, made shocking revelations about her mom’s relationship with her childhood friend rapper Tupac Shakur, who was killed in 1996. The rapper, gunned down at the age of 25, once proposed to his mom Jada.
