00:00 Will and Jada Pinkett Smith.

00:01 Yeah, Jada going all in with her new memoir.

00:03 And this new revelation, the infamous entanglement episode

00:07 of "Red Table Talk," wasn't the only bombshell

00:10 the Smiths were going to drop.

00:12 [MUSIC PLAYING]

00:14 So he knew about the relationship prior to this.

00:17 Absolutely.

00:17 [MUSIC PLAYING]

00:18 I got into a different kind of entanglement.

00:22 I think the misconception was that I

00:24 asked Will to come to the table.

00:25 You somehow forced him--

00:26 I forced him to come to the table,

00:28 and that just wasn't the case.

00:30 You can't force Will to do anything.

00:32 Three years ago, Jada and Will were apparently

00:34 going to come clean that they were living separate lives.

00:36 But Jada tells Kelly Ripa on her "Let's Talk Off Camera"

00:39 podcast she continued to live a lie in order to protect

00:43 her husband of 25 years.

00:45 I started to see him get uncomfortable.

00:48 I started to see that he was not ready.

00:51 And my codependency kicked right in.

00:55 And I was like, I am going to make

00:57 sure you are good by any means necessary,

01:00 and even if that means taking on the false narrative

01:06 that I've been the adulterous wife.

01:07 I was done with your [BLEEP]

01:09 This whole journey, as difficult as it's been,

01:12 has just brought Will and I closer.

01:14 Wow.

01:15 And it's been beautiful.

01:16 As for all those open marriage rumors--

01:19 They're swingers.

01:20 Yeah.

01:20 He's gay, she's gay.

01:22 What if anything is true?

01:25 I would say that none of that's true.

01:27 Jada's new memoir, "Worthy Out Tomorrow,"

01:29 sheds light on her unconventional marriage,

01:32 as well as her time as a drug dealer

01:33 and struggles with suicidal thoughts.

01:36 Will gave his reaction to Jada's revelations,

01:38 telling the New York Times the book kind of woke him up.

01:41 When you've been with someone for more than half

01:44 of your life, a sort of emotional blindness sets in.

01:47 A source tells ET, "Will is trying to stay busy.

01:50 He's trying to not let any outside noise impact him.

01:53 Will loves Jada, has always had her back,

01:56 and he has been trying to be supportive while also taking

01:58 care of himself."

02:00 As for their kids, well, they quote,

02:02 "wish some of their family's private matters

02:04 remained private."

02:05 This morning on "Today," Jada tried

02:07 to explain where their relationship stands now.

02:10 There's no divorce on paper.

02:11 I mean, not on paper.

02:12 There might not be a divorce in theory anymore.

02:13 Yeah, no.

02:14 We really have been working hard.

02:18 So with divorce off the table, could

02:20 there be a reconciliation?

02:21 You know he's getting old.

02:24 He getting old.

02:25 Who gonna be there for him all the time?

02:27 It's gonna be me.
