After making bombshell revelations about her marriage status with the Emancipation actor in her recent interview, the Red Table Talk alum has now opened up about the dynamics of her relationship with the All EyeZ on Me rapper.
In an interview with RollingOut, the 52-year-old actress named Shakur as someone who she had a "soulmate friendship."
"If there is such a thing as past lives, I definitely think that Pac and I have traveled a few together," revealed Jada.
The Girls Trip actress was then asked if she has any regrets about not taking things further with the Hit Em Up rapper, to which she responded, "it just wasn't possible."
She further admitted, "there was no chemistry between us," calling her connection with Shakur a "friendship-love chemistry."
The Angel Has Fallen actress also shared that having a future together "wasn't the purpose," adding "it was like God made us that way."
She continued, "it was like, look, I'm going to put y'all together, right? Y'all are going to be a dynamic duo. But I'm going to tell you right now, I'm going to make it so y'all are not going to be able to get together 'cause that just wasn't the purpose."
