Buckle your seatbelts, cause this one is a wild ride—though it has a very happy ending. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are one of the longest-lasting and funniest couples in Hollywood, but everything didn’t start off perfectly.

The pair met while on the set of Will’s show, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, in 1994. However, Jada didn’t get the part because she was too short (the role went to Nia Long). Though there had been a connection, Will started dating Sheree Zampino, and the pair got married and had a son together. It didn’t work between Will and Sheree, and he and Jada finally linked up in 1995.
