Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith go to marriage counseling

In 2016, the Smiths revealed that they sought out marriage counseling. Will opened up to The Sun about how difficult it was.

“What happens in a marriage once you do counseling, the truth comes out,” Will told the outlet. “And you sit across from your wife, and you’ve said all of your truth, and she has said all of her truth. You look at each other, and you can’t imagine you could ever possibly love each other again now the truth is out. It creates a dark moment.”

However, Will realized it was necessary to get everything out so they could begin the healing process.

“For me, it’s the dark before the dawn,” he added. “When the truth comes out, and people have to say who they are and what they think, you get to know who they are. I think that’s the cleansing before you get to the other side that is understanding and moving forward in our relationship.”

“I met David a few years ago, and we had the pleasure of being able to plan our wedding,” Quejonne told the counselor and talk show hosts. “We invited all the people from all across the country. People were going to travel.” 

However, two days before their wedding, the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic forced the couple to cancel the event. They explain they are “emotionally drained” and unsure of what to do next.
