The superstar, who shares hosting duties for the ET program with daughter Willow, 19, and mother Adrienne Banfield Norris, revealed that "I gotta be honest. I think one of the things that I’ve realized is that I don’t know Will at all." Wow!
"I feel like there’s a layer that you get to, life gets busy and you create these stories in your head and then you hold onto these stories and that is your idea of your partner, that’s not who your partner is," she continued.
Jada said that during quarantine she's been forced to go "through the process of having to dissolve all of those stories and all the ideas of Will"--a revelation that has ultimately brought them closer.
"This is intimacy. Just being able to get to who our loved ones are beyond that which we have perceived," she divulged. So true!
Jada went on to describe how the couple has focused on the friendship aspect of their relationship. "The thing that Will and I are learning to do is be friends," she gushed. "You get into all these ideas of what intimate relationships are supposed to look like, what marriages are supposed to be."
"Will and I are in the process of him taking the time to learn to love himself, me taking the time to learn to love myself and us building a friendship along the way," she added. Oh, to be a fly on the wall in the Smith household!
And trust her--Jada was as surprised as anyone about the revelation. "Let me tell you, that’s been something to be married to somebody 20-some odd years and realize I don’t know you and you don't know me and also realizing there’s an aspect of yourself you don't know either," she said.
