The couple actually met on the set of the show that really sprung Will in to the hearts of many people, The Fresh Prince.

The issue with Will's interest was that Will was actually already in a relationship and married to Sheree Zampino. For this reason he obviously decided to not try and pursue anything with Jada, although following their divorce and split he didn't take long to contact Jada.Jada Moved To California, 1995

Following Will's divorce from Sheree Zampino, he wasted no time contacting Jada and essentially tried to persuade her to move closer to him. Somehow, he had the allure, enough for Jada to up and relocate from her home of Baltimore to California where their relationship would bloom.They Began Dating, 1995

It didn't take long for the duo to go from being close friends to partners, as soon after she moved from Baltimore to California the two joined in a relationship. Supposedly it went as simply as Will asking if she was seeing anyone, her saying no and him claiming she was seeing him now!They Became Engaged, 1997

After two years of dating and many public appearances together, Will Smith asked Jada for her hand in marriage. This was the official start of the whole life together and as we have all found out in recent years their marriage has been full of extreme highs and lows across the years.They Found Out Jada Was Pregnant

Literally the day after Will proposed to Jada in November of 1997, Jada found out that she was pregnant with her first child. This must have been one of the craziest periods of the duo's relationship as they really began to cement themselves together as being one real power couple.They Got Married, 1997

Just over a month after Will proposed to Jada, the duo made the walk down the aisle and said their I do's to one another. This might be quick for some people, but the addition of them finding out they were expecting their first child probably made them feel as though it was the right thing to do!Jada Gave Birth To Jaden, 1998

In July of 1998, Jada (now Jada Pinkett Smith) gave birth to her first child, Jaden Smith following quite an easy delivery (well.. as easy as a pregnancy can be!). It's unknown as to whether Will was there for the birth, but Jada was joined by her mother who actually worked as a nurse!Formed Overbrook Entertainment, 1998

Surprisingly, despite Will and Jada both having successful careers in the industry the two have never actually appeared on the screens for any series or movie. Despite this, the two did form and still help produce films via the production company they co-own together, Overbrook Entertainment.Willow Was Born, 2000

Just under two years after Jaden was born, Will and Jada welcomed their second child, Willow in to the world in October of 2000.

Okay, so this one has never been proven, nor will it ever be I assume, but the internet has long been thoroughly convinced that Will and Margot engaged in an affair during the filming of the 2013 film Focus. The two have never directly addressed these rumours and it'll probably stay that way.They Denied A Divorce, 2015
