American actress and talk show host, Jada Pinkett Smith, has shared the reasons why she cannot part ways with her husband, Will Smith, even though they have been leading “entirely separate lives” since 2016.
Pinkett was a guest on the latest episode of the On Purpose podcast, hosted by Jay Shetty.
During the podcast, Shetty read a message from Will Smith, in which he praised Pinkett’s memoir, ‘Worthy,’ and in response to her husband’s heartwarming review of her book, Pinkett expressed that it’s his sense of humor that prevents her from divorcing “that joker.”
Shetty read out Will’s message: “I applaud and honor 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.”
To this, Jada Pinkett playfully blushed and said, “Hahaha. He knows I can’t have no Merlot. That’s beautiful. That’s why I can’t divorce that joker [laughs].”
It’s worth noting that Pinkett recently revealed in a clip from her upcoming NBC News primetime special with Hoda Kotb that she and her husband, Will Smith, have been living apart since 2016, even though they hadn’t officially divorced.
