Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith Split After 13 Years Of Marriage!

Another failed Hollywood marriage!

Will Smith and Jada-Pinkett Smith have called it quits after being married for 12 years. In a shocking move it seems that the pair have decided to end their marriage, according to In Touch Weekly.

The A-list coupe have two children together - Jaden, 13, and Willow, ten, who have had their fair share of time in the limelight this year. Jaden has appeared in two mega movies, The Pursuit of Happyness and The Karate Kid, and Willow has stormed the charts with her debut album.

This will be the second failed marriage for Smith, who divorced former fashion design student Sheree Zampino in 1995 after three years together. They have a son, Willard Christopher Smith, also known as Trey, who is now 18.

He famously dedicated his 1998 single, Just the Two of Us, to Trey. After his first divorce, Smith found comfort in Jada, whom he had first met in 1990 when she auditioned and was rejected for the role of his girlfriend on his hit TV show, The Fresh Prince.

In 1997, they married in a lavish ceremony at a mansion near her hometown of Baltimore in front 100 friends and family.

I'm sure all this drama won't be helpful for Will who is currently filming Men In Black 3.

The only sign of trouble I can see here is the focus on their kids to start music and acting careers. I found the whole idea bizarre in the first place, but even Jada admitted recently that she has had to put their careers first before hers.

"It was excruciating, completely excruciating. When Jaden was auditioning for The Pursuit of Happyness, my band had just gotten an offer to open for Guns N’ Roses in Europe. For me, that was unbelievable. But the choice was: I could be a rock star, or I could be on the set with my son to make sure he was healthy and happy. We all know how that story ended!"

Jada added she would rather be performing but she knows that her duty is to her children.

"I had to make choices. Believe me, I would still be on the road with my band, Wicked Wisdom, and making as many movies as I can a year, and doing all sorts of other things if I didn't have the responsibility of a family.But I have children with their own talents and dreams, and I know I have to be standing next to them for that journey."

It's definitely not right that she was sacrificing her career for her children, who are way to young to have a career anyway. Is this why their marriage broke down?

Jada Pinkett Smith Says She and Will Smith Are Not Exploiting Their Kids.

I still don't agree with her.

Jada Pinkett Smith and hubby Will Smith have come under fire recently because both of their children, 10-year-old Willow and 12-year-old Jaden, have gotten into the spotlight. Willow came into the music business when her song 'Whip My Hair' shot to the number 1 spot all over the world. She then started attending events including The Grammys. So it's definite that she has been missing school.



Jaden too, is in the same position, aswell as starring in the remake of 'The Karate Kid' and daddy Will's move 'The Pursuit Of Happyness', he has also been touring with Justin Bieber. But mother Jaden Smith thinks she's dong nothing wrong:

"Our children are allowed to stay in the paradigm of being a child. They don't have to take care of their families: become the complete emotional, physical, and financial focus that happens to many child stars. Our family structure is a little different and it's quite hard to comprehend because it's so outside what usually happens in a family, but the paradigm is the same. This isn't about fame or money. They were still going to have their trials because of who their parents are. As much as I wish I could figure out a way I could protect my children, they have their destiny. I'm not going to put brakes on that out of fear. I have a 10-year-old who can stand up in front of an audience of 17,000 and rock the house. I have to keep her grounded."

Although I understand where she is coming from, I think she still doesn't get the point. Her daughter wouldn't be 'rocking the house' in the first place if she didn't allow her to pursue her career. All children want to be singers/actors when they are young, but they need to put their education first and live their childhood. Because their parents are so famous, their children are destined to be in the limelight, but they are WAY to young right now.

I see another Lindsay Lohan in the making...
