"I want to make sure that when we go public that we're so 100% sure that nobody can affect the energy of that," Smith told . "We came to the decision together very early on that we didn't want to be posting about our relationship on social media and being in the public. I don't know, it's a slippery slope."
While sleuths were busy putting the puzzle pieces together, Smith said she would prefer to keep the curtain closed on this part of her personal life. As she acknowledged, "It's really the only thing in my life that people don't know about fully." "I'll be going in for my second surgery in the next few hours," Smith wrote in an Instagram caption at the time."Part of my spine has completely deteriorated due to the infection and I'll be getting a new vertebrae and a couple of screws and rods in my spine to replace what has been eaten away from the bacteria."
"She’s back !!! Limited in my movement and pain still is excruciating at times BUT gratitude on a zillion for the breath in my lungs!!!" she captioned a photo of her posing triumphantly.
