Nicki Swift spoke with Holly Davis, who exclusively supplied expert examples about the intricacies of celebrity divorce. Davis first explained that celeb couples who have secretly divorced usually took the necessary steps to divide their financial assets ahead of time. In the case of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, however, “If this does go towards a divorce, I imagine that most of the terms of the financial division must have been negotiated by the parties when they originally decided to separate.” Unfortunately, splitting up their fortune could become a legal nightmare for the couple — who’s worth a combined $400 million — because they never drew up a prenup, according to Parade.

For those couples who eventually divorce, Davis revealed that some celebs fare better by leaving their assets tangled together. However, if things drag on too long, it could be worse in the end. “The risk is that someone may change their mind and initiate a divorce, and then all of the assets not only get divided at the end, but if the assets have increased in value during the time of the separation, it makes the division all the more painful for the person trying to save money,” Davis explained. With that said, Davis also revealed that some couples wait years before officially pulling the plug. “Sometimes they want to see if the separation makes them happier,” she said. “When and if it does, they proceed with a divorce.”
