As he publicly \u2018crosses a line\u2019 with another woman, insiders say Jada\u2019s ready to give him a taste of his own medicine<\/p>\n

Will shocked Jada – and the world – with this kiss<\/p>\n

She\u2019s publicly pledged to stay loyally by his side no matter what \u2013 even after mutually ending their marriage. But in recent weeks, Jada Pinkett Smith\u2019s apparently had a change of heart regarding the stalemate status of her and Will Smith\u2019s relationship.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The pair secretly separated in 2016, only telling the world they were no longer together in 2023, but have since kept things on an even keel, with no official statements made about any plans to divorce. Still, actions often speak louder than words, and Will spoke volumes last month when he kissed singer India Martinez on stage while performing with her. According to insiders, there is no official line drawn regarding what the former couple can and cannot do in their private life; they no longer live together, and do not consider themselves in any kind of conventional, monogamous relationship. But the line of respect changes in the public eye and, as far as Jada is concerned, Will has crossed it. Having copped flak in the past for being disloyal to him, we\u2019re told she\u2019s now fuming that he hasn\u2019t shown her the same respect and commitment that she\u2019s shown him since they secretly split. Now, as far as she\u2019s concerned, the rulebook\u2019s changed \u2013 and she\u2019s ready to play the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cJada has been holding back and staying very respectful, but if Will is going to go cavorting around and acting single, then she figures that she may as well too,\u201d says an insider close to the former couple, who got married in 1997, quietly split in 2016, but reportedly still lived together until 2021 \u2013 before keeping up the pretence that they were still together for another two years. \u201cShe\u2019s pretty furious that Will\u2019s being so openly disrespectful and has promised she\u2019s now going to do the same. Will is saying that he\u2019s done nothing wrong and that he was just putting on a show, but for Jada, he\u2019s crossed the line. She\u2019s pretty tight-lipped about what exactly the rules of their marriage are, but \u2013 by all accounts \u2013 it\u2019s a \u2018don\u2019t ask, don\u2019t tell\u2019 situation. They can do what they want, as long as they don\u2019t go parading it around.\u201d<\/p>\n

The couple have never officially divorced<\/p>\n

With a commitment towards discretion, Will\u2019s controversial PDA with India apparently came as a massive surprise to Jada, who shares son Jaden, 26, and daughter Willow, 24, with Will. The Men in Black star was appearing with the singer at the Premio Lo Nuestro award show in Miami, where they were performing their duet First Love, when he leaned in for a kiss. After canoodling mid-song, he then placed his hands on her backside \u2013 prompting some corners of the internet to brand the\u00a0actor\u2019s behaviour as \u201cinappropriate\u201d, since he is still technically married. We\u2019re told a specific area of contention for Jada, 53, came down to the fact that Will, 56, hadn\u2019t sought her approval for the stunt beforehand \u2013 something she believed to be an important tenet of their situationship. We\u2019re told that, in the aftermath, she\u2019s been left reappraising everything, and questioning whether Will really does take her best interests to heart.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor Will to be violating the deal in such a public forum is a massive slap in the face for Jada,\u201d says our source. \u201cIt sends this message to the world that he\u2019s footloose and fancy-free \u2013 who cares about the wife? They may have an unconventional marriage, but there are still things you just don\u2019t do, at least not without the blessing of your spouse, and Jada did not give her blessing for Will\u2019s antics on stage with India. To Will, he\u2019s just performing and doing what it takes to be a success; but for\u00a0Jada, this is exactly the same myopic attitude that they\u2019ve always clashed over. All he can focus on is the goal of giving the audience the best show and getting the most headlines. Never mind that he\u2019s now got everyone buzzing that he\u2019s having an affair with India, which obviously makes\u00a0Jada\u00a0look like a fool and upsets her to no end.\u201d<\/p>\n
As our insider explains, Jada\u2019s upset also boils down to the fact that she wore the mantle of \u201cthe adulterous wife\u201d for years, after she and Will revealed in 2020 – during an episode of her Facebook series\u00a0Red Table Talk\u2013 that she\u2019d had an \u201centanglement\u201d a few years prior with singer August Alsina. Of course, we now know the pair were no longer officially together at the time; but back then, it was presented to the world as if Jada had truly had an affair, something neither one of them did anything to negate. Indeed, Jada later confessed that she\u2019d originally planned to announce their separation, but Will had stopped her as her \u201cwasn\u2019t ready\u201d to tell the world, instead joining her in painting the \u201cfalse narrative\u201d that she\u2019d betrayed him.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jada believes will has ‘crossed a line’<\/p>\n
[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n
Since then, Jada\u2019s done everything in her power to support Will, even saying in 2023, while promoting her memoir, that the time would come when they would live together again, explaining, \u201cIt\u2019s getting apparent to me that [Will\u2019s] gonna need someone to take care of him.\u201d<\/p>\n
Part of the reason Jada\u2019s stayed so publicly loyal to the man she still calls her husband is the fact that, until now, she was under the impression he was just as committed to her in the public eye. Three years ago, the actor infamously fell from grace at the 2022 Oscars, after he stormed the stage and slapped comedian Chris Rock, who\u2019d just made a joke about Jada\u2019s alopecia, before shouting, \u201cKeep my wife\u2019s name out your
f**king mouth!\u201d Most people were scandalised by his stunt, but Jada later said she valued his public defence of her and made her re-commit her loyalties to him. \u201cThat was a moment that I knew I would never leave Will\u2019s side after all those years thinking I would,\u201d she later said. \u201cI didn\u2019t go in there as his wife, but I was leaving as his wife.\u201d<\/p>\n
Now, however, the goalposts have changed, and it seems Jada is no longer willing to sit idly by while Will seems to make moves to provoke their split for good.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe writing is on the wall and it\u2019s been that way for some time, but they\u2019ve avoided pulling the trigger on a formal divorce because it suited them to stay together \u2013 both financially and emotionally, as bizarre as that may seem to the outside world,\u201d we\u2019re told. \u201cBut they can\u2019t put it off forever, and deep down both\u00a0Will\u00a0and\u00a0Jada\u00a0know that staying technically married but living a totally separate life is not a long-term option. So, it\u2019s a case of ripping off that band-aid and making some hard decisions. The fact that Jada didn\u2019t attend the Grammy\u2019s with Will says so much about the state of their relationship. Clearly, she\u2019s not willing to keep up the charade anymore.\u201d<\/p>\n
