Following the big Oscar slap scandal, divorce rumors started to surround Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith. Though these two have often been part of the rumor mill, this one claims they may now part ways for good.
The Chris Rock-Will Smith slap at the 92nd Academy Awards had been in the headlines for a while now. So after the "King Richard" star, who won the Best Actor award, hit Chris Rock for making a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's shaved head, would this be a reason for their separation?
The Globe claimed the scandal just showed the discontent in the 53-year-old actor's marriage to his spouse of 25 years. An alleged pal even believes the incident means "doom" for their relationship.
Instead of feeling humiliated for his wife, the said pal revealed "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" alumnus allegedly felt the 57-year-old comedian was mocking him and sneering at "how emasculated he had become."
It has been known that Jada Pinkett Smith had a relationship with August Alsina while still married to Will Smith, proving they had an open relationship. However, despite "sticking together publicly," another so-called insider revealed it was a huge embarrassment for the 50-year-old actress.
So, if the said divorce pushes through, it will be unfortunate for the "Getting Jiggy with It" rapper, considering they did not sign a prenup that put his whole fortune at stake.
But amid all these malicious reports, Gossip Cop stressed no truth about it. Globe's claim mostly relies on speculations, not facts.
The couple's son, Jaden, had defended his father about the issue, while Jada Pinkett Smith had remained to have his back all the time that night until today. It is also good to note that the alleged friend who spilled the beans about the two may not be a real pal.
Like Queen Latifah and Denzel Washington, the pair's true friends will not go around like that and talk things about them. Despite everything that has been said about Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith and their marriage, it looks like they are both determined to stay married.
For starters, the Hollywood power couple had surprised everyone when they confirmed they had an unconventional marriage on "Red Table Talk." Later, he addressed the issue in an interview with GQ and revealed they both engaged in sexual relationships outside of their marriage with mutual agreement. Despite scrutiny and outcry, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith stood by their decision to have an open relationship.
