Jada Pinkett Smith has dropped yet another surprising revelation – she and husband Will Smith are contemplating writing a book together.
‘I know Will and I are talking about writing a book, together, called “Don’t Try This at Home,”‘ she told Extra.
It would follow Jada’s sensational memoir Worthy, which describes the marital and personal troubles she endured.
Jada, 52, has been telling all as she promotes her new book – including the revelation she and Will have been separated for seven years.
Despite the split bombshell, Jada told Extra that she and Will, 55, have actually made their way ‘back’ to one another – and that a divorce was ‘off the table.’
‘The idea that we were separated for seven years and that we’re like still apart after the Oscars, we made our way back, you know, and I think that piece has been left out of the narrative,’ she told Extra.
The evening Will struck Chris Rock at the Oscars proved to be transformational for their relationship – Jada decided that night to remain with her husband following years of contemplating a separation.
‘That was the moment that I knew I would never leave Will’s side. After all those years of thinking that I would, after all those years of thinking, I’m going to get divorced, I’m going to get a legal separation… And I didn’t go in there as his wife. But I was leaving that his wife. So it showed me that love can conquer all.’
That night, Smith struck Rock in the face after the comedian cracked a joke about Jada, who suffers from alopecia, and her bald head.
Now, the couple are focused on fixing their relationship.
‘Divorce is off the table. We are life partners,’ she insisted.
She said she prefers the term ‘life partner’ over husband as that better describes her current view of marriage.
‘I call him life partner. To me it’s a more expansive definition than what I came into the marriage with around the “idea” of husband,’ Jada said.
Smith, in an email published Saturday in the New York Times, said that Pinkett Smith’s recent comments on their relationship were a wake-up call to him, adding that she was more ‘resilient, clever and compassionate’ than he’d realized.
The King Richard star told the paper in an email, ‘When you’ve been with someone for more than half of your life, a sort of emotional blindness sets in.
Jada has even been dealing with distressed fans and social media users who have begged her to stop her tell-all tour and to cut down on the revelations about her marriage due to their distressing nature.
Though she emphasized in multiple interviews that she never told Will to respond to a joke Rock made about her buzzed hair — an attempt to hide the effects of her alopecia — she confusingly told Vanity Fair that the incident led her to recommit to marriage with Will.
Jada even called Will her ‘life partner’ and her ‘dude’ during a virtual appearance Monday night on The Late Show With Stephen Colbert.
But her complicated feelings about her husband — who remains a beloved star even after his shocking Oscars slap — have been disturbing fans and viewers of her interviews.
Several social media users spoke out in recent days on Twitter (recently renamed X) as they begged Jada to stop airing her family’s dirty laundry, especially as Will has largely remained silent about the revelations.
‘Good grief people can you all stop interviewing Jada Pinkett Smith now?’ moaned one user.
Another person joked, ‘How do we collectively unplug from Jada Pinkett Smith’s stream of consciousness[?]’
Others emphasized that they had never asked for all the sordid details about Jada and Will’s marriage.
‘I keep learning things about Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith’s marriage against my will. Make it stop,’ complained another user.
