In a heartfelt letter that's tugging at heartstrings worldwide, Will Smith recently shared his emotional reaction to his wife Jada Pinkett Smith's upcoming memoir, Worthy.
The book, which is set to hit the shelves on October 17, delves deep into the couple's relationship, revealing they have been separated for seven years.
During the latest episode of the On Purpose podcast, Jay Shetty read out Will's poignant message to Jada. "I just turned the final page of Worthy,” Will wrote, sharing the whirlwind of emotions the memoir made him feel. “I was all over the place," he admitted, expressing his surprise, laughter, inspiration, and heartbreak.
In an era where Hollywood relationships often make headlines, Will and Jada's union has been a significant fixture. The candid revelations in Worthy have sent ripples across the entertainment industry and amongst fans.
Addressing his wife's bold step to pen down her experiences, Will remarked, “I just turned the final page of Worthy,” adding: “It is amazing to realize that despite having lived most of my life by your side, I still found myself shocked and stunned and caught off guard, laughing, then inspired, then heartbroken. I was all over the place.”
Jada shares intimate details of her relationship with Will:“It’s one thing to hear anecdotes at a family barbecue, but it was truly overwhelming to take in your story, potently condensed in this way.”
What stands out in the actor's letter is his unwavering support for Jada. “I know it wasn’t easy to excavate the depths in that way. I applaud and honor you,” he expressed, extending his love and even humorously welcoming her to the Authors Club.
Jada's book has become the talk of the town, with intense media scrutiny following the couple. During her press tour, the Scream 2 actor touched upon her previous relationship with rapper August Alsina and the infamous Oscars altercation with Chris Rock.
In response to Will's letter, Jada seemed moved, especially by his mention of wishing he had hugged her more. Laughing at his Merlot reference, she joked, “He knows I can’t have no Merlot!,” further adding, “That’s beautiful. That’s why I can’t divorce that joker.”
Despite the separation and the challenges that came with it, Jada was clear in her interview with NBC's Hoda Kotb about her commitment to Will. She firmly stated, "I made a promise that there will never be a reason for us to get a divorce. We will work through whatever."
Worthy is not just a memoir; it is a testament to the journey of a couple who've navigated the complexities of love, fame, and personal growth. As readers worldwide gear up to get their hands on the book, one thing's clear: the Smiths' story is set to be an interesting read!
