*Jada Pinkett Smith and husband Will Smith sat down for a candid talk on a 2018 episode of her “Red Table Talk” show on Facebook Watch, where they opened up about some of their marital problems. Almost a year later, Jada reflected on that episode while appearing on the “Late Show with Stephen Colbert” on Wednesday (see Clip above).
“What was really important about Will and I doing that show together — two things: First of all was really to kind of get rid of the idea that people in the public eye have perfect relationships,” she explained. “We were kind of sick of living up to that. We were real sick of it. And then second of all, really having myself and Will come and talk about our relationship — sometimes you see just women do it alone or you just see a guy do it.”
The actress also pointed out the impact of having Will address his part in their problems.

“Us having coming together and taking responsibility for both of our parts and also Will being the successful guy that he is and being willing to share what his pitfalls were in the relationship and in his family, you can’t imagine how many other successful men called and said, ‘Wow, my wife has been saying the same thing for years. Because you said it, it opened my eyes and because you said it, I’m willing to listen,” Jada explained.
“I think a lot of times successful men might feel like, ‘Hey, I know what I’m doing. I’ve had a lot of success in a lot of areas. I know exactly what I’m doing.’ So, a lot of times, you know, you can shut your partner down a little bit,” she said.
Fortunately, the last few years have been among some of their very best.
“The journey between Will and me… we have come to such a beautiful place,” she said. “I feel like we have a stronger bond than we even had in the beginning.”
“Red Table Talk” airs Mondays on Facebook Watch.
