The Fresh Prince may soon be less a princess.

As black Hollywood continues to sort out the salacious details of the divorce proceedings between Kobe Bryant and his wife, Vanessa, and more recently football legend Deion Sanders and his wife, Pilar, fans are now bracing for the possible demise of one of the most celebrated African-American marriages Tinseltown has seen in years.

For months, rumors have swirled around the fate of superstar Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith's 13-year union. Tabloids and blogs have pointed to everything from Pinkett Smith's alleged romantic fling with J.

Adding fuel to the fire are this week's reports that Pinkett Smith recently made a visit to the office of well-known divorce lawyer, Laura Wasser.

Wasser is known for representing the likes of Maria Shriver, Angelina Jolie, Britney Spears, and Kim Kardashian at the end of their marriages. Though the Smiths released a joint press release last August stating that their relationship was intact, rumors persist that they now live separately and are selling off their joint property.
