Will smith finally speaks up after his wife’s truth bomb and parts of her recent book “Worthy”

Will Smith has responded to his wife Jada Pinkett Smith‘s bombshell revelationsabout their marriage in her forthcoming memoir, Worthy.

In an email to The New York Times, from a profile on Pinkett Smith, the Oscar-winning actor says the book “kind of woke him up.”

The 52-year-old actress, according to Smith, has “lived a life more on the edge than he had realised” and is more “resilient, clever, and compassionate than he had understood,” according to The Times. “When you’ve been with someone for more than half of your life, a sort of emotional blindness sets in,” Smith stated. “And you can all too easily lose your sensitivity to their hidden nuances and subtle beauties.”

In an interview with Today’s Hoda Kotb on Oct. 11, the Matrix and Girls Trip actress said she and her husband separated in 2016 and “live separately” from each other, despite putting on a public image that they have been a unified couple since they married in 1997.

Pinkett Smith continued by claiming that she kept the split a secret because she and her ex-husband “weren’t ready yet” and were “still trying to figure out how to be in partnership” in terms of how they presented themselves to the world. “We hadn’t figured that out,” she said.
