"I think about him everyday, there's not a day that goes by that I don't think of him."
These are Jada Pinkett Smith's words about her longtime friend, the late Tupac Shakur
We've heard about couples like Ben Affleck and Jlo who found their way back to each other
after so many years.
But what happens when death snatches the love of your life away before you realize how you
truly feel about them?
Jada's attachment to the late rapper runs so deep that it has many fans questioning
whether she has secretly been in love with him all along.
It's been over two decades since Pac's death and new aspects of their love keep popping
up.
Jada's daughter openly wrote a letter to the late rapper, begging him to come back so Jada
can be happy again.
If her own daughter can see it, then maybe it is true.
Perhaps Jada is still in love with Tupac.
Will has also admitted to being jealous of whatever they had, and well for a good reason.
Who wouldn't feel insecure about their wife having long-hidden feelings for someone else?

So aside from this meme jokingly making it seem as though Jada's "big shave" is more
evidence that she can’t let go of the bald-headed rapper.
Fans believe that she has a stronger bond than she does with her husband.
No family is perfect, and even those that many seem to think have no problems, still
face their fair share of ups and downs.
But lately, the Smiths seem to be facing a lot more lows than highs.
And perhaps it's affected their children too.
A few years ago, the internet was in an uproar when Willow took to Instagram to post a letter
she had written.
What left fans with their jaws hanging was who the letter was addressed to, "Dear Tupac"
was how the heartfelt note started.
"I think that my mommy really misses you," she wrote.
"Can you please come back, can you come back so momy and me can be happy!
I wish you were here…
I really do!" she added with a handwritten sad face emoji.
Willow, who was just ELEVEN when the letter surfaced, deleted the post from her account
shortly after.
The young star confessed that she had written the letter years before and only shared it
with the world now.
Does this mean Willow has felt this way for years?
Just how deep does Jada and Pac's love story run?
Pinkett's and Shakur's relationship was formed out of the darkness.
They shared the same troubled background.
Jada was dealing illegal substances to survive at the time, and the rapper reportedly had
a gang affiliation and also faced some prison time.
They were connected by their desperate struggle to stay alive no matter how they had to do
it.
The actress shared that "Pac and I's relationship was about survival", saying that was where
their connection started, way before the public saw it as romance.
The two met on the first day of high school and were immediately drawn to one another.
From a distance, he didn't seem like someone she would have an interest in, but when he
spoke to her, "he was like a magnet."
Pinkett shared, "Once you paid attention to him he kind of sucked you in.
And we hit it off from that moment on…."
Sadly their relationship was cut short when Jada's career began to rise.
The fame and fortune that was slowly building managed to take the actress out of the life
she was living.
So she no longer needed to sell illegal substances to get by.
Instead, she was getting paychecks that could sustain her.
But the same life she had now walked away from caused her a painful tragedy.
The violent war zone she had grown up in stole Tupac away from her.
Before she knew it, she had not only lost her friend but a type of love that would haunt
her for the rest of her life.
Though the two reportedly never fell in love with one another, Jada admitted that they
once shared a kiss.
And even though it may have been a confirmation that they were better off as "just friends",
a letter from Tupac that surfaced years later told another story.
In the letter "4 Jada", the rapper describes her as "the omega" of his heart.
Before confessing that, quote,
"You will never fully understand how deeply my heart feels for you."
before saying she brings him to climax without sex as their connection transcended physical
boundaries.
But as the years unfolded, Pinkett started to realize what she and Tupac had and how
special it was.
She admitted to feeling sad that she didn't get a chance to tell Pac that she loved him
before his death.
And it looks like this late realization has taken a toll on her relationship and her family.
It's no secret that Pinkett recently stepped out of her marriage and had an…
"Entanglement" with another rapper, August Alsina . But it was not just an affair for
Jada.
The actress described their romance as something that filled a gap in her life.
A similar space to the one Tupac served when their relationship first formed.
It wasn't the physical stuff that made her feel good.
It was the emotional connection.
Jada was more interested in Alsina because she liked the thought of being able to fix
someone else.
She felt as though she could save August, something she was never able to do for Pac.
Remember that lyric that many used to scream at the top of their lungs?
"I want a real love, That Jada and that Will love" Well, fans have openly come forward
to say they deliberately make sure they don't sing that part of the song anymore.
It seems like Will and Jada's romance is not a hot topic anymore.
If a new song were to be written, the lyrics would probably be this fan's tweet.
"I would want that Jada and Tupac, love me even after life", another user joked, saying,
"pray for will smith.
nothing's wrong, but jada's probably walking around the crib with an oversized tupac shirt
on."
In a recent interview, Will Smith admitted to being jealous of what Jada had with Tupac.
Although it was allegedly just a friendship, it didn't make him feel any less insecure.
The two stars had grown up together, and Will could not compete with the type of chemistry
they had.
What made matters worse was that their relationship transcended any sexual boundaries.
It was intimate in its own special way that only she and Pac could understand.
And well, when she and Will got together, it was just something he had to accept.
What fueled his insecurities even more, was the striking difference between him and the
iconic star.
Smith is a rapper as well, but not considered on the same scale as Tupac.
He was what women identified masculinity with, tough.
Smith was a soft and sweet guy.
A close friend to Pac recently revealed that when the actress and Smith started dating,
she called Pac and begged, quote, "don't do nothing to Will Smith".
This may have confirmed Smith's insecurity all these years later.
He was not the only one who saw himself as weak.
His wife saw it too.
Although Jada had good intentions behind her request, it left Tupac hurt.
He respected the actresses and was pained that she thought he would ever do anything
to hurt her.
Perhaps that's why he and Smith were very distant.
The actor admitted that he never built up the confidence to befriend the late rapper,
although Jada constantly insisted they were so alike and would probably get along.
But Pac was never interested in being Smith's friend either, but probably out of respect
for Jada's earlier request.
Unfortunately, this was not the first time the pair's friendship jeopardized their personal
relationships.
Before the rapper's passing, when he was still married to Keisha Morris , Jada wrote a letter
to Tupac revealing how she felt about his relationship.
Pac had married Morris while he was in prison.
While supporting him through his incarceration, letters were the best way for her to reach
out to him.
"You and I will never feel any of our partners are worthy of either of us," it read, "You
walk now with two eyes open, when she's by your side, with love you should be able to
close one!
I've always felt safe with you even through all this madness!
I've never had a problem with closing that one eye when I was by your side!"
She continued.
Pac's marriage to Morris only lasted five months and was annulled five months later
when the rapper was released from jail.
The letter went on to motivate that love transcends existence.
It is not conditional and does not fade with death.
Now, several years since the rapper's death, Jada seems to have listened to her own words.
Her love for Tupac, whether romantic or platonic, has survived death.
His memory continues to live with her and seems like it will until her dying day.
Pac once said,
"Jada's my heart.
She will be my friend my whole life.
We'll be old together," adding that she can, quote, "have my heart, my liver, my lungs,
my kidney, my blood marrow, all of that.".
Well, it may not be physical, but spiritually and emotionally, she seems to have all of
that and more.
It may not be the way they both imagined, but they are growing old together, and nothing
can tear them apart to this day.
Not even death.
What do you think of Juicers?
Is Jada secretly in love with Tupac, or does she just miss her long time friend?
