Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith Chose Not to Have a Prenup

"No matter what, we’re going to figure it out."

Jada Pinkett Smith's memoir, Worthy, isn't even out yet, but there are already major bombshells coming out ahead of the book's release date (Oct. 17, if you need to mark your calendars). Not only did the actress share that she and her husband, fellow actor Will Smith, have been secretly separated for years, but in a new interview with Parade, she shared that the couple doesn't have a prenuptial agreement, something that feels like a prerequisite to any major Hollywood marriage.

Jada explained that before the two of them got married on Dec. 31, 1997, they spoke about the idea of a prenup, but decided against it, saying that no matter what happened with their relationship, they'd "figure it out."

"Listen, weddings are beautiful, but they can be very romanticized," Jada said. "I feel that was a very real moment for the two of us to look each other in the eyes, recognize that there would be tough times in this journey, and to say to each other, 'No matter what, we’re going to figure it out, and that’s why we don’t need a prenup, because I’m making a promise that divorce won’t be necessary, that we will figure this out.'"

She even went into detail about what would really happen if they ever ended up separating. And even though the two are separated now, their marriage has lasted 25 years, so whether or not you consider the two to still be together or not, the paperwork is evidence that they're going strong — legally, at least. She even told Hoda Kotb that there's not "a divorce on paper."

"And we made that promise to each other without all of the bridal wedding beauty; it was just sitting on a log in his mother’s backyard, and going, 'Hey.' Having to really look at the possibility of us not being together," she said to Parade. "We all have our romanticized ideas of how it all should be, and it might not show up in that way. But at the end of the day, do you have someone at your side that you’re willing to go through tough times with and they’re willing to go through tough times with you? I’m very lucky that I can say, 'Yes, I have someone that’s willing to do that.'"

Speaking to People about their separation, Jada said that it's just part of what happens when two people are together. She went on to say that her marriage to Will is "an organism ... It's its own thing."

"We’re still figuring it out. A lot has happened," she said. "The thing about relationships is that it's constantly moving. Relationships are, it's an organism. It's its own thing. It's constantly shifting and constantly moving. There's a lot that's transpired in the last two years, and so we've been doing some really heavy-duty work together.”
