Jada Pinkett Smith's freshly launched memoir, 'Worthy,' is offering audiences an unprecedented glimpse into her much-discussed relationship with Hollywood A-lister Will Smith. The book hit shelves on Tuesday, October 17, and among its revelations is the news that the couple had been formally separated since 2016, residing separately for the past seven years.
The memoir also unzip the less publicized aspects of their relationship, one notable mention was the couple's unique sleeping arrangement with their children, Jaden, 25, and Willow, 22. The family habitually sharing the same bed continued for several years until it became impractical, forcing Pinkett Smith to devise an ingenuous solution. She recount that a lavishly designed "love nest" was constructed within their bedroom, replete with a domed ceiling scattered with tiny stars, enabling the couple to retreat from life’s chaos and attend to their romantic relationship.
This arrangement was sustained until around the time their son Jaden turned six, at which point the couple finally managed to persuade their children to sleep in their own beds. The future of the 'love nest' remains uncertain, considering Pinkett Smith’s unfulfilled feeling about her role as a Hollywood wife, a feeling she conveys passionately throughout her memoir.
Despite wearing a smiling façade for two decades, Pinkett Smith shares that her outer contentment masked an underlying distress ignited by a sense of undeserving of love. Therapy provided some relief, but the Crystal-clear disconnect between her perceived perfect life and the sense of profound loss she carried within instigated monumental turmoil.
What we gather from Pinkett Smith's memoir is that even a dedicated sex room doesn't necessarily translate to a harmonious relationship.
