The Torture of the Soulmate Connection<\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Although Jada has always maintained there was no physical romance between them, she has consistently referred to Tupac as her “soulmate.” This spiritual depth was what tormented Will Smith in the early days of their relationship. The core of Will’s profound jealousy was the look Jada gave Tupac. Will Smith writes candidly in his memoir: “In the beginning of our relationship, my mind was tortured by their connection. He was PAC! and I was me.” Smith felt perpetually inadequate, viewing Tupac as the embodiment of “fearless passion” and “militant morality,” everything Smith felt he was not. Will admitted he hated the way Jada looked at Tupac with an adoring gaze she never gave him.
