Will Smith has broken his silence, after his estranged wife Jada Pinkett Smith made bombshell claims about their marriage.
Ahead of the release of her tell-all memoir ‘Worthy’, which hits shelves today, Jada revealed she and Will secretly split seven years ago.
The actress also revealed she no longer lives with The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star, as she moved out of their shared home and bought her own place.
Despite being separated from Will since 2016, Jada said the pair have no plans to divorce.
In her recent interviews promoting her memoir, the 52-year-old has also spoken out about that Oscars slap, and claimed Chris Rock once asked her out amid rumours she and Will had called it quits.
Will has since shown his support for Jada, who he married in 1997 and shares two children with.
In a letter to Jay Shetty, which was read to Jada on an upcoming episode of his podcast On Purpose, the Men In Black star wrote: “I applaud and honor you. 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 responded to a New York Times interview with Jada, admitting her new memoir “woke him up” as he realized that she was living “more on the edge” than he’d realised.
In an email to the newspaper, he wrote: “When you’ve been with someone for more than half of your life a sort of emotional blindness sets in, and you can all too easily lose your sensitivity to their hidden nuances and subtle beauties.”
The publication reported that Will has only just realized that Jada is “more resilient, clever and compassionate than he’d understood”.
