Read our privacy policy Will Smith has confessed that he cannot take responsibility for his wife Jada Pinkett’s happiness. In an interview with Oprah Winfrey, Smith said that a low point in their marriage was after his wife’s 40th birthday party, which he spent three years planning and she disliked. We agreed that she had to make herself happy and I had to make myself happy.” He continued: “Then we were going to present ourselves back to the relationship already happy – versus demanding that the other person fill our empty cup.” The two actors married in 1997 and Smith also addressed rumours they separated after Jada Pinkett’s affair with singer August Alsina: "You know, it's really funny. There is no person that will fill your hole.” Smith concluded by saying: “Love being the most fearful place you’ll ever try to step into.
