"We're in this together for the long haul," Pinkett Smith declared. Despite their efforts to take a break, she admitted that she and Smith couldn't stay apart. They got married in 1997.

Pinkett Smith went on to share her perspective on relationships, emphasizing the importance of self-acceptance and accepting your partner completely. She described this journey as a significant stage in any relationship.

Pinkett Smith shared with host Drew Barrymore that the incident at the 2022 Academy Awards, where Smith slapped comedian Chris Rock for a joke made at her expense, actually brought her and her husband closer together.

The actress expressed the importance of accepting others, even their flaws, and embracing both the light and shadow within them. She mentioned learning to love and accept Will, Chris, and herself for who they are, emphasizing that we are all just trying to navigate through life.

In an interview with People in October 2023, Pinkett Smith shared that she and Smith had actually separated nearly six years prior to the 2022 Oscars.

Throughout their marriage, Pinkett Smith and Smith have experienced many challenges and moments of struggle. The Girls Trip actress confessed that by 2016, they were feeling worn out from trying to make things work. Even during The Slap incident, Pinkett Smith revealed they were still in the process of figuring things out and putting in a lot of effort to improve their relationship.

Pinkett Smith appeared on CBS Mornings in early November last year to talk about the Oscars incident and how it affected their relationship. She shared, "Being there with him that night, what I did know was that I might not have walked in there as his wife, but I left that night as his wife."
