Jada Pinkett Smith has said that being in quarantine has made her realise how little she knows about her husband, Will Smith.

Pinkett Smith met the Hollywood actor on the set of the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, and they married back in 1997.

During the latest episode of her web series, Red Table Talk, the 48-year-old was joined by her 19-year-old daughter, Willow, and her mother, Adrienne Banfield Norris, and the trio discussed how relationships have changed with the uncertainty of the COVID-19 pandemic.

"I’ve got to be honest, I think one of the things that I’ve realised is that I don’t know Will at all," Pinkett Smith said of her husband of 23 years. "I feel like there’s a layer that you get to, life gets busy and you create these stories in your head and then you hold on to these stories and that is your idea of your partner; that’s not who your partner is."

Now, in order to better understand her husband, she is "going through the process of having to dissolve all of those stories and all the ideas of Will".

"This is intimacy," she continued, "Just being able to get to who our loved ones are beyond that which we have perceived.”

The couple are now working to be "friends", the actress stated. "You get into all these ideas of what intimate relationships are supposed to look like, what marriages are supposed to be."

"Will and I are in the process of him taking the time to learn to love himself, me taking the time to learn to love myself, and us building a friendship along the way."
