Pinkett Smith was featured on the most recent episode of Jay Shetty’s On Purpose podcast.
The host read out a note from Will Smith praising Pinkett’s novel, “Worthy,” and the actress responded to her husband’s kind evaluation of her book by saying his sense of humor is the reason she can’t divorce “that joker.”
The host read:
“I applaud and honour you. If I had read this book 30 years ago, I definitely would have hugged you more. I’ll start now. Welcome to the authors club. I love you endlessly. Now go get some Merlot and take a rest.”
Jada Pinkett blushed: “Hahaha. He knows I can’t have no Merlot. That’s beautiful. That’s why I can’t divorce that joker [laughs].”
Recall that Jada Pinkett had just revealed that she and her husband, Will Smith, have been living apart since 2016 in a clip from her upcoming NBC News primetime special with Hoda Kotb.
She said that she and Will Smith had not made their divorce public because they were not “ready yet” at the time.
She further stated that they are not yet divorced but have been living apart since 2016.
Jada pinkett told Kotb that they kept the breakup hidden because they were still figuring out their relationship dynamic and how best to proceed with their partnership.
She said:
“We were still trying to figure out between the two of us, how to be in partnership, How do we present that to people? We hadn’t figured that out.”
