NEW YORK CITY, NEW YORK: In an interview with ‘Today’ host Hoda Kotb, Jada Pinkett Smith revealed she and Will Smith had been separated since 2016. As this news broke out, ‘The View’ hosts also discussed it on Wednesday.
During this discussion, host Ana Navarro joked that she feels like she knows more about Jada and Will’s marriage than her own “damn marriage.”

‘The View’ played a clip from Jada’s interview with ‘Today’ host Hoda Kotb, where Jada explains parts of her relationship with Will.
As the clip ended, Ana Navarro said, “Why do I know so much about these people's marriage? Literally, I kind of feel like I know more about their marriage than I do about my own damn marriage.”

Navarro also added, “Be careful of anybody who pretends to have a perfect marriage.”
