“I was sitting in a stall in the restaurant and I was crying uncontrollably and then laughing like, ‘What the heck is wrong with me?’” Smith said. “I knew that was the woman I was supposed to be with, but I was never getting divorced,” he said. “I don’t get divorced.”
Zampino, however, filed for divorce on Valentine’s Day and Smith started dating Pinkett Smith shortly thereafter.

On the same episode of RTT in which Smith recalled crying in a bathroom stall, Pinkett Smith spoke about being against the idea of marriage and a wedding ceremony – to the point that she was miserable on the day of their nuptials in 1997. “I just never really agreed with the constructs,” she said of her opposition to marriage. “I just don’t agree with it. I never have. I still don’t.”
Pinkett Smith, who was three months pregnant at the time with their son Jaden, said that she was “so upset that I had to have a wedding”. kh
