Hollywood actress and talk show host, Jada Pinkett Smith, has revealed why she cannot divorce her husband and popular actor, Will Smith.
Pinkett who has lived separately from her hubby since 2016, made this known while featuring on the latest episode of the On Purpose podcast hosted by Jay Shetty.
It all began when the show host read out a sweet message from Will Smith applauding Pinkett’s memoir titled, ‘Worthy’.
Shetty read: “I applaud and honour you. If I had read this book 30 years ago, I definitely would have hugged you more. I’ll start now. Welcome to the authors club. I love you endlessly. Now go get some Merlot and take a rest.”
Responding to his accolades, the thespian said her husband’s sense of humour is the major reason she has been unable to divorce him.
“Hahaha. He knows I can’t have no Merlot. That’s beautiful. That’s why I can’t divorce that joker [laughs].” Jada Pinkett blushed.

Prior to this, the American actress had revealed that she never wanted to get married to her husband, Will Smith.
Speaking during her talk show, Red Table Talk, she said her mum pressured her into walking down the aisle with the Hollywood actor because she got pregnant.
“I was so upset that I had to have a wedding. I was so pissed. I was crying. I cried the whole wedding.
“I really didn’t want to get married. I was under so much pressure being a young actress and pregnant. I didn’t know what to do. But I knew I never wanted to be married.
“The wedding was horrible. I was three-month pregnant at the wedding.” She said.
Jada Pinkett and Will Smith tied the knot at the Cloisters Castle in Baltimore, Maryland, United States in 1997.
