Powerhouse actors Will and Jada Smith are once again at the center of the divorce rumor mill.
According to the Huffington Post (via In Touch Weekly), Jada Pinkett-Smith has retained a divorce lawyer to handle her divorce.
The magazine reports that Jada Smith recently reached out to powerful celebrity divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, who has represented celebs such as Britney Spears, Kim Kardashian, and most recently, Vanessa Bryant (Kobe Bryant’s estranged wife).
A source tells In Touch that Smith has “finally begun to take steps to dissolve their marriage,” even reportedly turning down a role in Keanu Reeves directorial debut to spend time with her kids during this “difficult time.”
The magazine first reported that Will and Jada had separated in August after 13 years of marriage. The pair issued a statement in response to the allegations: “Although we are reluctant to respond to these types of press reports, the rumors circulating about our relationship are completely false. We are still together, and our marriage is intact.”
The star couple have two kids, Jaden and Willow — whose careers were reportedly at the root of the Smiths’ marital problems — and Will Smith has one son from a previous marriage. Source
I guess we won’t really know the truth until the divorce documents appear at the courthouse. Don’t hold your breath waiting.
