Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith Divorce: Laura Wasser Reportedly Retained By Jada

Will Smith Jada Pinkett Smith

Despite denying divorce rumors back in August, it appears that Will and Jada Pinkett Smith may be finally going their separate ways -- at least according to In Touch Weekly.

The magazine is reporting that Jada Smith recently met with celebrity divorce lawyer Laura Wasser, who has represented the likes of Britney Spears, Maria Shriver, and Kim Kardashian.

A source tells In Touch that Smith has "finally begun to take steps to dissolve their marriage," even reportedly turning down a role in Keanu Reeves directorial debut to spend time with her kids during this "difficult time."

The magazine first reported that Will and Jada had separated in August after 13 years of marriage. The pair issued a statement in response to the allegations: "Although we are reluctant to respond to these types of press reports, the rumors circulating about our relationship are completely false. We are still together, and our marriage is intact."

The star couple have two kids, Jaden and Willow -- whose careers were reportedly at the root of the Smiths' marital problems -- and Will Smith has one son from a previous marriage.

If Jada has indeed met with Wasser, she'll be in good hands. Here are 10 other celebrities that Wasser has represented:

Maybe if they hadn't chatted about their sex life every interview they got, they wouldn't have had to go home and try to live up to it. Then they might be more satisfied with each other in the real world.

In Touch Weekly is a notoriously sensationalist and faulty rag.
Maybe if divorce information turned up in People, it would be more reliable.

What seems to be the problem with American Celeb's. They just come up over-night with '' irreconcillable differences'' what were they thinking before giong to the alter? many of them are too selfish, bcos marriage is a Sacred Institution of Give-n-Take.

Boy.

I sure hope he gets a good lawyer too, because female divorce lawyers go for the b@lls.

At least, whatever's left of them after the wife takes them.

"The star couple have two kids." Who edited this?? Correction: The star couple HAS two kids.

He just couldn't deal with those absurd hair extensions any longer (let alone pay for them)

It's her hair Natal.

To the extent that it is attached to her head it serves as her "hair" - doesn't appear to be real though.

If you want to post your writings, you need to learn to write.
I clicked on your link and found your writing skills to be appallingly bad.

You wrote something, Brian, but it's not an article. It is ... well, it is a grouping of words about the Smith family and your unsubstantiated declarations on their marriage and divorce. Badly written, poorly imagined, this bit of drivel seems to exist only to show your ongoing - and near obsessive - devotion to Will Smith.

Jada & Will, I LOVE YOU GUYS! Just hang on in there! Your kids really need you together--and besides, I truly believe you two are just meant to be togehter, forever. May God continue to be with all four of you (Jada, Jaden, Willow, & Will).

Unbelievable and not good at all

I hate it too. Never thought this could happen. Get information on engineering jobs

This is really sad news. I had hoped they were in it for the long haul in spite of different Hollywood pressures on their greatness as entertainers.

The Smiths had 13 years and two children together. That's good. Some don't get anywhere near this much happiness.

No divorce surprises me anymore. Just another number to the statistics

In the end, it's not going to affect our lives in any way. If Will and Jada feel the need to part ways, they should do so. We've all been in unhappy relationships and have felt relief after the ended. Let them be happy.
