Jada said, “I feel that was a very real moment for the two of us to look each other in the eyes, recognize that there would be tough times in this journey and to say to each other ‘No matter what, we’re going to figure it out."'
She revealed this was the reason that "we don’t need a prenup, because I’m making a promise that divorce won’t be necessary, that we will figure this out,’” she explained.
