Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith had previously made headlines for their public exhibition of arguments and disputes that should have remained private. The pair had been through a lot, from infidelity rumors to ruined parties and arguments. And it was during these sad moments that Will Smith and Jada Smith discovered they weren’t enough to make each other happy. Smith discussed his failing marriage and how no one on the planet could make Jada Pinkett Smith or Smith happy in a crazy interview with Oprah Winfrey.
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith revealed that no one can make them happy
Will Smith stated that he and Jada Pinkett Smith were aware that no other person could make both of them happy. Smith told Oprah Winfrey in season one of her Apple TV+ show, The Oprah Conversation, which premiered in 2021.
He said, “Let’s just discuss it, Oprah. I don’t need to go looking for a lady to make me happy, since none can. No man can make Jada happy; therefore, she doesn’t need to go looking for one. We both know that. There is no one who can fill your void.”
Smith and Pinkett Smith’s relationship is no longer defined as married after more than two decades of togetherness. Instead, they saw themselves as ride or die life partners. Smith told Winfrey that he and Pinkett Smith chose to love in freedom, and he described it as friendship versus marital prison. The actor made the remark in response to his GQ cover story, in which he stated that he and Jada are not monogamous.
Smith told Winfrey that his and Pinkett Smith’s chemistry is about finding satisfaction inside themselves rather than outside of themselves.
