The actress explained, “I think by the time we got to 2016, we were just exhausted with trying.”
Following the interview, Jada Pinkett Smith shared that she decided to give her marriage another chance after Will Smith’s altercation with Chris Rock during a book tour event for the 2022 Academy Awards.
