Popular Hollywood actor Will Smith has responded after his actress wife Jada Pinkett revealed that they have both been separated as husband and wife for the past 7-years.
Recall that Jada Pinkett had surprisingly revealed during a new interview with People that she has been separated for that long after growing ‘exhausted’ of trying to save her ‘fractured’ marriage.
The 52-year-old also opened up about their situation in detail on the Today show.
While opening up on the reason their marriage break down, in a sit-down with NBC News when speaking candidly to Hoda Kotb, Jada said; ”By the time we got to 2016, we were just exhausted with trying. I think we were both still stuck in our fantasy of what we thought the other person should be.’’

In his reaction to the claims made by his estranged wife, Will Smith in an email to the New York Times noted that he was a bit aloof to Jada’s needs and developed an “emotional blindness” to “hidden nuances” after his wife Jada Pinkett Smith revealed the pair have been living separately since 2016.
Will admitted that his wife’s new memoir, named Worthy, “kind of woke Will up” as he realized that his wife was living “more on the edge” than he thought.
He wrote to the newspaper: “When you’ve been with someone for more than half of your life a sort of emotional blindness sets in, and you can all too easily lose your sensitivity to their hidden nuances and subtle beauties.”
