Amidst all the revelations in Jada Pinkett Smith's new memoir Worthy, we hadn't heard how Will Smith felt following her comments about their relationship — that is, until now.
Quick recap time: One of the biggest revelations from the Worthy press tour so far is that she's been separated from Will since 2016.
"By the time we got to 2016, we were just exhausted with trying," she explained during an interview with Today, citing the fact that the relationship had become "fractured" by "a lot of things" as a reason for the decision. "I think we were both kind of just still stuck in our fantasy of what we thought the other person should be."
She also said that, despite being separated for so long, the idea of divorce has generally been off the table. "I made a promise that there will never be a reason for us to get a divorce. We will work through whatever,” Jada explained. “I just haven’t been able to break that promise."
There's been plenty of other new details concerning their relationship, too. We now know how she felt about Will calling her his "wife" during the infamous Oscars slap, and we just found out that they haven't lived together for at least two years.
In general, we've already learned a lot from Worthy even before it's hit shelves — so it's understandable to wonder what Will thinks about all of this coming to public light.
"I applaud and honor you," he wrote to Jada. "If I had read this book 30 years ago, I definitely would have hugged you more. I'll start now. Welcome to the author's club."
"I love you endlessly. Now go get some merlot and take a rest."
Will also gave his Worthy reaction to the New York Times in a recently published profile of Jada.
“When you’ve been with someone for more than half of your life, a sort of emotional blindness sets in," he said, "and you can all too easily lose your sensitivity to their hidden nuances and subtle beauties.”
