Jada Pinkett Smith constructed a special “love nest” for her and Will Smith to allow them to spend intimate time together when their kids were little.
The “Girls Trip” star reveals in her new memoir, “Worthy” (out Tuesday), that both Jaden, now 25, and Willow, now 22, slept with her as children and “continued to do so nightly for some years.”
But once Jaden reached the age of about 6, Jada, 52, realized that Will, 55, had grown tired of their sleeping arrangement.
“To give us our own space, I had even built a separate, beautiful love nest for us two grown-ups in our bedroom, complete with a domed ceiling full of twinkling stars,” she writes. “But over time, the kids hijacked that room as well.”
Eventually, with a gentle nudge from the “Men in Black” star, Jaden and Willow began to sleep in their own bedrooms.
The “Red Table Talk” co-host has dropped plenty of truth bombs in her book and on its press tour.
The biggest revelation was that Will and Jada, who married in 1997, have been secretly separated for the past seven years.
The couple attended red carpet events as a family unit and even bought a new estate together, but in 2020, singer August Alsina revealed that he and the actress had conducted an affair, to which he claimed the Oscar-winning actor had consented.
Jada also devotes a chapter in the book to the 2022 Oscars ceremony when Will infamously slapped Chris Rock for making a crack about her alopecia. However, she shares that her husband and the comedian had a fractious relationship for many years before the assault.
“The plot twist here that many people don’t know is there had been decades of disrespect between Will and Chris — starting in the late 1980s, before either of them knew I existed,” she writes, adding that it began with a “big ole misunderstanding that I don’t have enough therapists or lawyers to begin to explain.
“And it just kept festering.”
Jada also discusses her close friendship with slain rapper Tupac Shakur, whom she has called her “soulmate.”
The two met when they were both teens at the Baltimore School for the Arts in Maryland.
They remained close friends until the “Dear Mama” performer was fatally shot and killed in September 1996. He was 25.
