Will also gave comment tothe New York Timesin a recently published profile of Jada. “When you’ve been with someone for more than half of your life, a sort of emotional blindness sets in," he said, “and you can all too easily lose your sensitivity to their hidden nuances and subtle beauties.”
But he isn’t stopping there. According tothe Baltimore Sun, Will also made a surprise appearance at aWorthypromo stop held at the Enoch Pratt Free Library.
“I just really wanted to come out and just be here and hold it down for you the way you have held it down for me,” he addressed Jada at the event.
“We have had a very, very long and tumultuous [relationship]. We call it ‘brutiful.’ It was brutal and beautiful at the same time.”
Will also acknowledged that his own career successes were “largely built on the foundation of Jada’s sacrifices,” which included developing a relationship with his ex-wifeSheree Zampino“so that I could have all of my children with me.”
“We got together when we were in our twenties,” he said. “I had huge dreams of what I wanted to do in the world and in my life, and I was on fire with a vision. And as I stand here before you today, I am happier than I’ve ever been in my entire life.”
“Our union is a sloppy experiment in unconditional love. Jada is thebest friendI have ever had on this planet, and I am going to show up for her and support her for the rest of my life.”
