Did Jada Pinkett Smith Truly Not Want To Marry Will Smith?
Did you know that Jada Pinkett Smith wasn't excited about her wedding day to Will Smith? It's surprising to many, especially given their long-standing relationship in the limelight. But, as with many things in life, there's often more beneath the surface.
The Smiths have always been in the public eye, sharing snippets of their personal lives. With the release of Jada's memoir, "Worthy," more intriguing details have come to light. One such revelation is that Jada felt pressured into marrying Will. She wasn’t the ecstatic bride that many might have imagined. Instead, she recollected the day with tears, not of joy, but of frustration and sorrow.
The journey of Will and Jada dates back to the 90s. Before Jada, Will had met and married Sheree Zampino. However, fate brought Will and Jada together when she auditioned for his famous show, "The Fresh Prince of Bel Air" in 1994. They quickly connected, and by 1995, after Will's divorce, they became an official couple.
However, it wasn't all smooth sailing. During her show, Red Table Talk, Jada spoke candidly about her wedding day. When she became pregnant with their son, Jaden, Jada was hesitant about marriage. She didn't want the wedding, but it was her mother, Adrienne Banfield-Norris, who strongly encouraged her to proceed. With a heavy heart and being three months pregnant, Jada walked down the aisle, tears streaming down her face. "I was so upset that I had to have a wedding. I was so p*ssed," Jada shared. It was far from the dreamy, happy day that most brides anticipate.
In an emotional twist, her mother later apologized, recognizing the undue pressure she had placed on her daughter. She confessed to Jada, "It was a mess. You were sick; you were very unpleasant. I'm sorry I didn't respect your wishes."
This revelation offers a poignant reminder that behind the glamour and smiles, real-life challenges and emotions are at play. Not every fairy tale starts or proceeds as expected. But through understanding and reflection, relationships can grow stronger.
