The couple married in 1997 and have since then been seen as one of the strongest pairings in Hollywood history, sharing two children, Jaden, 25, and Willow, 22. Smith's words come days after his estranged wife left fans shocked with the revelation the pair had secretly split in 2016.
After meeting in the early 1990s, the couple went public with their relationship in 1995 before tying the knot in December 1997 in Baltimore, Maryland. Since getting married, Will and Jada have expanded their family, welcoming their son Jaden Smith in July 1998 and their daughter Willow Smith in October 2000.
The news of their now-seven-year-long separation comes as a shock to the public, which has witnessed the pair booed up on red carpets, oversharing intimate details about their relationship, and standing up for each other when a petty comedian made a stupid joke and got slapped for it.
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Will Smith's net worth is $350 million as of 2023. These earnings are thanks to an entertainment career spanning over three decades, from his work as a rapper to his many roles as an actor and producer behind the scenes.
The King Richard star has three kids: sons Trey, 31, and Jaden, 25, plus daughter Willow, 23. All three of them have followed in his footsteps, pursuing careers in the entertainment industry. Smith welcomed his first son, Trey, in 1992 with then-wife Sheree Zampino.

Who was the first wife of actor Will Smith?
Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star Smith wed Sheree Zampino in 1992, but the pair divorced three years later. Over the course of their marriage, the celebrity couple welcomed a son, whom they named Trey.
Jada Pinkett Smith recently revealed that she and her husband, Will Smith, separated way back in 2016, sharing that she moved out of their home in 2021, relocating to Baltimore from Calabasas, where she lived with her family.
Now Pinkett Smith has revealed that the pair has been separated since 2016. While promoting her upcoming memoir, Worthy, on the Today show, she shared that, after the “entanglement” that first shook their marriage several years ago (more on that below), the duo never actually repaired their romantic relationship.
"Our marriage ended because we were so young. Marriage isn't easy, especially at that age. And now we're trying to be parents, navigate through our marriage ... I couldn't reconcile all of that."
Will was born to Willard Sr., the owner of a refrigeration firm, and Caroline, a school board administrator, on Sept. 25, 1968, in West Philadelphia. He was the second child in the family; older sister Pamela was born in 1964, and the two were later joined by twin siblings Harry and Ellen in 1971.
Although Jada and Will didn't get to play a couple on TV, the two began building a real-life friendship. At the time, however, Will was married to Sheree Zampino. The two had a son named Trey.
Willard Carroll "Trey" Smith III was born Nov. 11, 1992. He is Will's oldest son and the only child he shares with his first wife, Sheree Zampino. Though Will and Trey weren't always close, they have repaired their relationship and are tight now.
Willard Carroll "Will" Smith II (born September 25, 1968) is an American actor, comedian, producer, rapper, and songwriter. He has enjoyed success in television, film, and music. In April 2007, Newsweek called him "the most powerful actor in Hollywood".
Although he's not appearing in any productions soon, he's still active and could be preparing a comeback. It was, in Chris Rock's words, “the greatest night in the history of television.” Nobody could have expected what happened on March 27, 2022, at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, during the 94th Academy Awards.
Tupac and Jada shared a very great bond. However, they were never romantically linked. They had known each other since their high school days and went on to become close friends.
The actor, 52, has three children: Trey, 30, whom he shares with his ex-wife Sheree Zampino, and Willow, 22, and Jaden, 25, whom he shares with his estranged wife Jada Pinkett Smith.
During the two-and-a-half-hour interview in the podcast, she addressed her relationship with Tupac, claiming that although they were kindred spirits, they had no physical nor sexual chemistry arguing that when she dared him to kiss her, they both had an 'Eew' moment.
But it was the star's usually winning smile which grabbed attention - Jaden sported a bizarre metal grill in his mouth, covering both rows of teeth. The son of Will Smith is expected to attend the Met Gala in the city on Monday night.
