CNN –
Will Smith shared his thoughts on Jada Pinkett Smith’s new memoir.
The couple has been the subject of numerous headlines since Pinkett Smith announced last week that the couple had been separated since 2016.
It’s just one of the revelations in her new memoir, “Worthy.”
The New York Times reported over the weekend that Smith emailed the publication a response to her book.
“When you’ve been with someone for more than half your life,” he wrote, “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.”
Pinkett Smith appeared on “TalkShopLive” over the weekend with her mother, Adrienne Banfield Norris, and discussed her book.
Norris said she wanted to clear up some of the “viciousness” directed at her daughter.
“I just wanted to say that you two have made the decision to separate,” Norris said. “You both broke up. You didn’t cheat on Will.”
Pinkett Smith and her husband appeared together on an episode of her “Red Table Talk” in July 2020, where she confirmed that she was in a relationship with singer August Alsina during a difficult period in their marriage.
Pinkett Smith confirmed what her mother said.
“I just want people to know that I didn’t cheat on Will Smith,” she said. “No matter how sad he looked at that table.”
Pinkett Smith later said she was now “in a place of peace.” I’m in a place of happiness.”
“As far as Will, my relationship with him, you know, we went through this long period of separation … so we could travel separately and do some trips together,” she said. “And it just seems like we’ve come to a really, really beautiful place together. “
During Pinkett Smith’s appearance on “On Purpose with Jay Shetty,” which first aired Monday, Shetty read a letter that he said came from Smith.
“I applaud and honor you. “If I had read this book 30 years ago, I would have definitely hugged you even more,” Shetty read. “I start now. Welcome to the authors club. I love you endlessly. Now get some Merlot and get some rest.”
Pinkett Smith laughed and said, “He knows I can’t have Merlot.”
“This is beautiful,” she said to Shetty. “That’s why I can’t divorce this joker.”
Pinkett Smith originally announced that she and Smith had separated, telling NBC’s Hoda Kotb that they were still legally married. She said she “made a promise” that there would never be any reason for her and Smith to divorce, “and I just couldn’t break that promise.”
Over the weekend, Smith posted on his verified Instagram account laying down on a boat while the voiceover can be heard saying, “Fun fact about me: I can take a nap almost anywhere,” as notification bells ring.
The heading reads “Notifications disabled.”
Pinkett Smith responded with laughing emojis in the comments.
