American actor Will Smith has finally shared his thoughts on the recent revelations made by his estranged wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, about their 25-year marriage. He expressed that these revelations have had a profound impact on him, allowing him to gain a new understanding of Pinkett Smith's resilience, intelligence, and compassion.

Smith acknowledged that spending over half of one's life with a person can lead to emotional blindness, causing individuals to overlook the hidden nuances and subtle beauties of their partner in such long-term relationships. This perspective provides insight into the complexity of their marriage.

In a New York Times interview released Saturday, Smith finally responded to all of Pinkett Smith’s revelations, saying the memoir “kind of woke him up.”and that he has now realised she is more “resilient, clever and compassionate than he’d understood”.

He added: “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.”

Smith's response follows an interview with Pinkett Smith conducted by Hoda Kotb, during which she revealed their seven-year-long separation. Pinkett Smith made this disclosure while promoting her upcoming memoir, "Worthy," scheduled for release on Tuesday, as reported by the New York Post.

In the interview, Pinkett Smith shared that in 2016, their marriage had become demanding, with both of them stuck in idealized images of each other. However, her commitment to avoiding divorce and her determination to confront any challenges kept her going. She emphasized that despite the difficulties, she remained resolute in honoring that promise.

Pinkett Smith revealed that, with her husband's support, they have made concentrated efforts to mend their relationship. She acknowledged their profound love for one another and their determination to redefine what love means for them as a couple.
