On October 15, actor Will Smith responded to his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith’s disclosures about their separation, which began in 2016. Jada, 52, in her memoir titled “Worthy”, sheds light on their relationship, stating that they had been leading separate lives for nearly seven years. The pair, who married in 1997, decided to share their relationship status only now.
Jada’s honest insights about their relationship were discussed during an interview with Today’s Hoda Kotb. By 2016, she revealed, the couple felt drained from trying to meet each other’s expectations. Regardless of their separate lives, they made a conscious choice not to pursue a divorce.
Reacting to Jada’s admissions, Will, 55, posted an ambiguous Instagram photo of himself asleep on a speeding boat, captioned “Notifications off :)”. He further addressed the revelations by referring to Jada’s memoir as an awakening, underscoring how easily one can overlook their partner’s subtleties over time.
Adding depth to their relationship narrative, Jay Shetty presented a letter from Will on his podcast, where Jada was discussing her book. In the touching message, Will expressed gratitude for Jada’s bravery in revealing her story, humorously noted he’d have embraced her more if he’d known her feelings sooner, and reiterated his steadfast love for her. Their shared humor and mutual respect illustrate the enduring connection between them.”
