Relationships, by and large, have their moments of turbulence, unless, of course, one happens to be living in Nancy Meyers’ flowery world. Common people usually have the luxury of navigating their relationship issues privately, free from external interference. But that is not how it goes with celebrities. A tiny spark of contention, and the entire relationship becomes fodder for public scrutiny and judgment. Something very similar has been playing out in Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith’s relationship as well. 

It all began with Jada Pinkett Smith dropping her bombshell revelations about separating from Will Smith seven years back. Following the opinions from nearly half of the industry, it was now Meek Mill’s chance to offer some advice to Will Smith. 

Meek Mill’s relationship advice to Will Smith 

Meek Mill, along with Rick Ross, appeared on Complex’s GOAT Talk, ahead of the release of their joint album, ‘Too Good to Be True’. When Rick Ross asked Meek Mill about whom he would like to offer some “GOAT relationship advice”, the 36-year-old replied with Will Smith’s name. After admitting not being qualified to give advice to a married couple, since Mill himself “never have a wife yet”, he offered six words of wisdom. “Know your value, know your worth”, said the ‘Dreams and Nightmares’ creator. 

Both Meek Mill and Rick Ross then blew a flying kiss towards the screen, opting not to delve into the subject further. In case they are expecting a response from the After Earth actor, it might go in vain, as Will has chosen to remain silent about the separation revelation from the very beginning. However, he did express how he felt after reading Jada’s memoir, Worthy. 

Through an email to The New York Times, Will shared how Jada’s disclosures in her memoir “woke him up”. 

Will Smith’s lost “sensitivity” towards Jada Pinkett Smith’s feelings 

Will admitted to having been overlooking his wife’s “hidden nuances and subtle beauties” over the years. He opened up about the “emotional blindness” that led him to lose “sensitivity” towards Jada. As per Will, this was an outcome of being with someone for more than half of his life. “(Jada) lived a life more on the edge than he had realized”, said the Oscar-winning actor after reading his wife’s revelations in Worthy. 

Recently, even Willow Smith shed light on her dynamic with her mother during a promotional interview with Rolling Stone. The 23-year-old singer shared how composing ‘Alone’ made her see Jada in a different light. She now understands Jada better and also feels more “compassionate” towards her. Though the Smith family is currently under the world’s relentless scrutiny, it was heartwarming to see that they are not holding back in showing their affection for each other during this tough period.
