According to the New York Post, Will Smith recently took a lighthearted approach to the ongoing media scrutiny surrounding his personal life, particularly amid his estranged wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s recent revelations about their separation spanning the last seven years. Smith, 55, playfully indicated his decision to put his phone on silent mode, sharing an Instagram video on Sunday with the caption, “Notifications off :)”.
In the video, Smith can be seen relaxing on a boat and later standing near the ocean, exuding a carefree demeanor for the camera. Adding a humorous touch, he wrote, “Fun fact about me I can take a nap almost anywhere.”
Pinkett Smith, 52, responded to the post with two laughing emojis in the comment section, showcasing an amicable rapport between the former couple. Notably, Pinkett Smith has been actively promoting her book, “Worthy,” which is set to be released on Tuesday, October 17. In recent interviews, she has delved into various aspects of her relationship with Smith, shedding light on the complexities of their marriage.
During an interview with the Today show’s Hoda Kotb, Pinkett Smith discussed their decision not to publicly disclose their separation earlier, explaining, “Still trying to figure out between the two of us how to be in partnership… We hadn’t figured that out.” She emphasized that they were both struggling with unmet expectations and the disillusionment of their idealized perceptions of each other.
According to Pinkett Smith, their marriage started to crumble in 2016, leading to their decision to live separately. Despite their challenges, Pinkett Smith expressed her commitment to their marriage, stating, “I made a promise that there will never be a reason for us to get a divorce. We will work through… whatever. I just haven’t been able to break that promise.”
The couple, who tied the knot in 1997, share three children, Jaden, 25, Willow, 22, and Trey, 30. Smith had previously welcomed his eldest son, Trey, with his ex-wife, Sheree Zampino. Recently, in an email to the New York Times, Smith finally addressed Pinkett Smith’s revelations, breaking his silence on the matter.
