Jada met Will Smith in 1994 on the set of Smith's television show "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air", when she auditioned for the role of his character's girlfriend, Lisa Wilkes. She was considered too short and the role went to actress Nia Long. Will and Jada began dating after he separated from Sheree Fletcher. Prior to this, Will had grown an attraction to Jada, but did not act on it. Jada eventually moved from her hometown of Baltimore to California to be with him. On December 31, 1997, while Jada was three months pregnant, about 100 guests attended their wedding at The Cloisters, near her hometown of Baltimore, Maryland. Regarding her marriage, Jada said that they are "private people" and told one interviewer, "I will throw my career away before I let it break up our marriage. I made it clear to Will. I'd throw it away completely". The pair produce films through their joint production company, Overbrook Entertainment and Westbrook Inc.
