Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have reportedly been living separate lives, and have not filed for divorce. But then again, they have never tried to look like a typical Hollywood couple. Even when they show up together, they tend to do it on their own terms.
Now, their recent time together in Paris to support their son Jaden Smith’s Louboutin Capsule Collection is only adding to the questions people keep asking about what their marriage really looks like behind the scenes.
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith ‘don’t believe in divorce,’ per source
Amid rumors of a divorce, Rob Shuter’s #NaughtyButNice on Substack reported that Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith stayed in separate hotel suites during the trip. The detail sparked chatter about whether the pair is drifting further apart. But sources close to them claimed that it reflects an arrangement they have built on their own terms, not a marriage falling apart.
A source told Shuter, “They’re best friends, deeply bonded, but they live separate lives,” adding “That’s what works for them.” Another insider addressed the divorce rumors, claiming, “They will never get divorced,” adding, “They don’t believe in it — emotionally, spiritually, or financially.” Moreover, a source also claimed that the separation came with “no drama. No fighting,” and it was “just boundaries.”
The couple has spoken in the past about their relationship, including Jada’s previous disclosure that they had been separated for years while still staying connected as a family. And to many fans, that honesty has been confusing. To the people around them, they just sound like two individuals who don’t follow the script and keep showing up for their family.
An insider noted, “They’ve redefined what marriage means for them.” They explained, “It’s not about sharing a bedroom — it’s about choosing each other, again and again, on their own terms.”
This is the same story that appears to follow them to Paris. In that, Will and Jada Pinkett Smith are together when they want to be, separate when they need to be without any mention of an impending divorce, but still committed to the partnership.
