The two actors will announce their separation at the end of the summer and have already divided their $240 million assets between themselves, Radar Online reports.
According to the source, the couple has worked out a confidential settlement for their $240 million fortune and they’ve been preparing their two children for the split.
The couple, who have been married for 17 years, are reportedly heading to divorce court. Jada Pinkett Smith was dogged by allegations involving her “Hawthorne” co-star, Marc Anothy, in 2011 and rumors swirled with Will Smith and Margot Robbie, co-star from his movie upcoming movie “Suicide Squad“. In 2013 she also denied claims that the couple had an open marriage.
“They’re exhausted from trying to maintain the façade of a happy union”, a source told Radar August 3. “They tried to fix things with therapy, [but] it’s not happening”. Meanwhile, Pinkett Smith, 43, seemed to acknowledge Will’s notorious wandering eye, telling Howard Stern: “I’m not his watcher”. He’s a grown man. I trust that Will is a man of integrity.
Stern brought up her old comment she had made to Oprah about Will being able to sleep with someone else if he wanted to, “as long as he could look at himself in the mirror”.
