The actor also expressed his thoughts on the memoir to The New York Times, which published a profile interview with Pinkett Smith on Saturday.
According to the publication, Smith said his estranged wife’s revelations in her book woke him up.
“When you’ve been with someone for more than half your life, a kind of emotional blindness sets in and it’s all too easy to lose sensitivity to that person’s hidden nuances and subtle beauties,” Smith wrote in an email to the New York times.
Pinkett Smith and Smith have been married since 1997 and have two children together, Willow and Jaden.
During a sit-down interview with “Today” host Hoda Kotb that aired last Friday on NBC, Pinkett Smith revealed that the couple separated in 2016 and are now living completely separate lives.

“I think when we got to 2016 we were just exhausted from trying. “I think we were both still stuck in our fantasy of what we thought the other person should be,” the “Red Table Talk” host said.
Pinkett Smith initially said in the interview that they didn’t announce their separation at the time because she wasn’t ready.
However, in an interview with the Times of London published on Saturday, Pinkett Smith said that she and Smith were supposed to reveal the split on an infamous 2020 episode of “Red Table Talk” in which they discussed her “entanglement” with her spoke singer August Alsina.
“We should come to the table and say, ‘We’re separated and we’re figuring it out,'” Pinkett Smith said. “But Will wasn’t ready for that and so my codependency kicks in and I’m like, ‘I want you to come out of this as unscathed as possible.’ So if that means adopting the adulterous wife narrative, I will do it.’”
