She continued, "We got to a place where we had to go our separate ways in order to break from some of those more immature fantasies of what being married was about.

Fans ask Jada Pinkett Smith to 'just get divorced'

Jada Pinkett Smith's revelation about her separation from Will Smith has stirred negative reactions among netizens, especially when she expressed the desire to live with her estranged husband in the near future.

One wrote, "Jada says, ‘Will's getting old. I'm staying quite young’. Jada is literally 3 years younger than him, not 30. She will do anything to stay relevant".

Speaking about Jada's "old age" comment, another wrote, "Hilarious. She’s only 3 years younger. They’re essentially the same age."

A person suggested, "Just get divorced and start over. If you have nothing to share with each other your wasting your time. Life is to short."

"The way she constantly disrespects him just to get attention. She never loved him," claimed another.
