Jada Pinkett has revealed she and Will Smith are working very hard to repair their marriage days after she disclosed that they have been separated and living their separate lives for the last seven years.

In a new interview with Today, the 52-year-old actress retracted her initial explosive revelation, saying that people ‘missed’ that she was trying to explain that she and her 55-year-old husband had not been divorced.

“We are working very hard at bringing our relationship, yes, bringing our relationship back together… Back to a life partnership, yes. Husband-wife marriage for me, for my healing process. I came into that with very specific ideas, right? Very specific ideas that were blocked. To me just seeing Will to who he is. He can’t be this perfect idealized husband.

“I have to be able to accept him for the human he is. He accepts me for the human that I am, and we want to love each other there. We really have been working hard,” Pinkett said.

The new development comes just days after Pinkett shocked the world by sharing that she and Will had been living completely separate lives since 2016 because they were exhausted with trying to repair their marriage.

Pinkett spoke on Will Smith and her going their separate ways during an interview with NBC News.

The 52-year-old actress and her 55-year-old husband have been married since 1997. Pinkett Smith said they are not legally divorced.

Their marriage has come under scrutiny during the period she says they have been apart.
