Will Smith appeared to reference his and wife Jada Pinkett Smith’s secret separation in a resurfaced video from 2018.
In the video, obtained by the Daily Mail, Smith is on a golf course explaining to the camera why he decided Pinkett Smith had to go and “make herself happy.”
“You can make a person smile, you can make a person feel good, you can make a person laugh, but whether a person is happy is deeply utterly and completely out of your control,” he said in the video, which is believed to have been filmed in 2018.
“I remember the day I said to Jada, ‘I retire. I retire from trying to make you happy. I need you to go make yourself happy and just prove to me it’s even possible.’”
The 51-year-old actor said the couple realized they were “completely separate people” on “separate individual journeys.”
“But her happiness was her responsibility and my happiness was my responsibility,” he continued, “and we decided that we were gonna find our individual, internal private separate joy and then we were going to present ourselves to the relationship and to each other already happy.”
The video resurfaced after Pinkett Smith, 48, admitted on her “Red Table Talk” series that she and singer August Alsina entered into an “entanglement” during their secret separation. The admission came after Page Six exclusively reported that Alsina asked Smith permission for the affair, which a rep said was “absolutely not true.”
Pinkett Smith also said she and the “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” star didn’t think they would get back together until they realized they couldn’t avoid each other.
“We did everything we could to get away from each other, only to realize that’s not possible,” she said.
