It is now common knowledge that Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith have shared a bond that is far from perfect for many years. Within almost three decades of togetherness, their marriage has weathered the many storms of life. After all, not many husbands of Hollywood would go as far as to slap somebody to uphold their wife’s dignity. In a world often marked by change, their enduring love story was among the few of Tinseltown’s that had survived until recently.

Despite recently confirming that they separated seven years ago, Pinkett Smith also revealed that she was beyond obsessed with her husband when they first met.

The massive impact of Will Smith on his wife’s life

During a recent interview with People, Jada Pinkett Smith delved into her initial relationship with Will Smith. At the time, she was prescribed antidepressants to help with certain “mental health” issues. However, the now 52-year-old stopped taking her pills upon meeting The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air actor. While revealing this, she also commented on how this impacted her life. Apparently, the actress felt so “intoxicated” simply by his presence that she chose to abandon her treatment. 

The Red Table Talk host has been quite vocal about her life journey through her show and interviews. Recently, she spoke about her battle with depression through her social media page as well. Through the post that featured an excerpt from her upcoming memoir, she gave her fans a glimpse into the behind-the-scenes happenings at the Smith family household. The issues she had suppressed upon meeting the Bad Boys actor resurfaced later.

She is set to launch a memoir that gives an in-depth look into the ups and downs of her life.

Earlier this month, some teasers from Jada Pinkett Smith’s upcoming book surfaced. They gave her fans a peek into her life’s many upheavals that she mentioned in her memoir. Additionally, they revealed what measures she took to keep herself afloat. After her initial romance with the King Richard actor faded, the “bouts of depression” returned. According to the excerpts, these would often drag her down back into pits of “hopelessness”. 

Despite her attempts to fill the void with her family’s love, she would often slip back into her depressive phases. Not only did she pen down those harrowing experiences, but also revealed many other intimate details in the same book. Well, judging by the teasers, the book is bound to make for an interesting read. It is set to drop in just a few days on 17 October.
