Jada Pinkett, Will Smith News: There is reportedly a "deep level of love, respect and admiration" between Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith despite their separation in 2016.
Jada made a surprise announcement about the pair's split that reportedly happened seven years ago, but she has since stated that they are not getting divorced.
The couple is instead trying to understand what their union could look like moving forward.
The Wife Will Smith Knew Changed
Upon his wife's announcement, there was a moment of silence before his admission that Jada was much more than he'd previously known.
A relationship expert has suggested the "Men In Black" actor has been able to evolve since the pair's split. He comprehended Jada's resilience, her wit, and, most of all, her empathy.
In a conversation with The Mirror, Louella Alderson spoke of Will and Jada's relationship, stating: "It appears that the couple has had their share of difficulties throughout the years, yet there still seems to be love between them."
Through an email from The New York Times, Will revealed he experienced an "emotional blindness" after being close to Jada for so long.
Louella, co-founder of the So Syncd dating app, explained that the actor's sensitivity towards Jada could have been diminished after so much time together.
But recently, he has become more aware of her "hidden nuances and subtle beauties" than ever. Louella claims his appreciation for her has 'woken him up' and allowed him to perceive her differently.
In the expert's words, Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith break may have allowed them both to grow and develop independently.
As Will's comment implies, maybe they had become desensitized to the subtle qualities of their connection or were no longer attentive to the minor facets of their attachment.

Louella commented that Jada and Will's current situation will allow them to gain a newfound appreciation for one another.
She also emphasized the integral role of communication and vulnerability in any marital relationship.
Miscommunication Between the Couple
"As demonstrated by Will's admission of not recognizing the magnitude of Jada's resilience, intelligence, and empathy, this can be indicative of missing out on dialogue or neglecting to understand each other."
After a period of denying the status of their marriage, Will and Jada have now seemed to accept its ending.
According to Louella, this declaration was possibly Jada's way of coming to terms with the separation and beginning anew.
She explained: "This step could have provided her a sense of resolution and enabled her to move on from the marriage. It mustn't have been easy for them both to keep up their lie for an extended time, so perhaps Jada made this statement to let go and heal."
Jada stated on the Today Show this week about her and Will's relationship, claiming they were "working very hard at bringing our relationship together." However, Louella remained skeptical about their endeavors succeeding.
After such a long time apart, she commented that it seemed unlikely that any media interference could bring them back together again.
