Actor Jada Pinkett Smith recently revealed details about her marriage to Will Smith in an exclusive clip from her upcoming NBC News prime-time special with Hoda Kotb. In the clip, Pinkett Smith confirms that there is more to her marriage than she has previously shared.

Pinkett Smith and Smith married in 1997, but have been living “completely separate lives” since 2016. In her upcoming memoir, “Worthy,” out Oct. 17, she details more about their relationship, including how it started and where it stands now.

Pinkett Smith’s memoir, “Worthy,” will be released by HarperCollins imprint Dey Street Books later this month. The memoir promises to reveal more details about her relationship with Smith, as well as her life and career.

The NBC News prime-time special with Hoda Kotb will air Friday at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC. The special will feature Pinkett Smith discussing her marriage to Smith, as well as her upcoming memoir.
