Will Smith Reacts to Jada Pinkett Smith's Memoir Confessions
Will Smith has offered his first response to Jada Pinkett Smith's revelations in her recently released memoir, "Worthy," a book she has been actively promoting in the media, according to Deadline.
In an email sent to The New York Times, Smith acknowledged that the book's revelations had a significant impact on him.
He expressed that he now sees Pinkett Smith as more "resilient, clever, and compassionate" than he had previously understood, recognizing that she had led a more adventurous life than he had realized.
In his email, Smith reflected on the challenge of maintaining sensitivity and understanding in a long-term relationship, explaining, "When you've been with someone for more than half of your life, a sort of emotional blindness sets in."
He recognized the potential to lose sight of the subtle nuances and hidden beauties in a partner over time.
Jada Pinkett Smith, for her part, indicated that their relationship is evolving and that divorce is not on the horizon.
She shared her thoughts on their journey, mentioning a point in 2016 when they felt exhausted with trying and were caught up in unattainable fantasies of who they thought the other should be.
She made a promise never to let their relationship lead to divorce and emphasized her commitment to working through challenges.
