Will Smith, wife on trial separation

Barely two weeks after Los Angeles-based
Nigerian filmmaker, Jeta Amata owned up to
the rumoured separation from his wife, Mbong,
Hollywwod hunk, Will Smith and wife, Jade
Pinkett Smith who live in the same city are said
to be undergoing a trial separation.
For three months now, the singer, actor and
movie producer is said to be living separately
from his wife, and have put their family
home up for sale.
The couple who have been married for 15
years, have two kids; Jaden and Willow,
although Smith has a 20-year-old son; Trey,
from his previous marriage to actress Sheree
Fletcher.
News of the crack in their marriage came as a
surprise to fans, who have considered the
couple to be having one of the most solid
marriages in Hollywood.
Indication to the mishap surfaced early in the
year, when Jada reportedly suggested that their
marriage was on the rocks.
“When you are going through a storm with your
spouse, stop thinking about what you ‘believe’
a husband or wife should be,” said Jada,
according to a fellow audience member at a
charity event.
The actor, who is trending with his current
futuristic science thriller, After Earth, is said to
be in New Orleans, filming his latest movie
Focus , while Jada is believed to have moved
into her brother Caleeb’s home in Los Angeles.
This is not the first time the couple has been
hit by rumours of marital problems. In April the
Hawthorne actress said Will could do
“whatever he wants” in their marriage, but later
added in a post on Facebook that this did not
mean they had an open relationship.
It is not clear what the problem between the
two is. Only recently, Jada praised her
husband’s parenting efforts: “There are some
men who feel like, ‘Listen, I take care of the
house and the home. That’s all I need to do.
What makes Will the best father in the world to
me is that he’s there, not just there in a way
that’s traditional; the emotional support he
offers his children is immeasurable,” said Jada.
