Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith

Now, this is a story about Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s rock-solid marriage. As one of Tinseltown’s most iconic couples, the Smiths have raised three kids, celebrated multiple award wins, and went on adventures. They wed in 1997 and have been enduring life’s challenges ever since.

Though the couple has never shied away from sharing the ups and downs of their marriage, their 23-year bond is a testament to how they’ve won many battles despite being in the public eye, including a separation.

They have since proved that they have an “unconditional love for each other.” Their strong bond as a couple was indeed defined by this dark chapter of their relationship.
