Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith’s 20-plus years of marriage have outlasted many Hollywood relationships — but it’s far from picture-perfect.
The actor met the Red Table Talk cohost when she auditioned to play his girlfriend on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Pinkett Smith did not get the role — Nia Long ended up playing the part — but the two later struck up a romantic relationship.
Smith and Pinkett Smith tied the knot in December 1997, later welcoming son Jaden in July 1998 and daughter Willow in October 2000. Smith, for his part, was already father to son Trey, whom he shares with ex-wife Sheree Zampino. While the actors have shared many happy moments together over the years — the pair are a red carpet staple — they have also been candid about their ups and downs, which include multiple separations.
