Jada Pinkett Smith continues her press tour for her memoir, Worthy, and already has plans for her next book. She revealed that she and potential coauthor Will Smith are discussing the idea of writing a book together. The working title they are considering is "Don't Try This At Home."
During an appearance on the "School of Greatness" podcast two days earlier, the actress further discussed the idea, expressing her hope of collaborating on a book with Will. She believes that the current process he is going through could greatly benefit numerous men. Pinkett Smith's revelation about their quiet separation in 2016 has been gaining attention this month.
"I believe that by 2016, we had become weary from our efforts. We both remained fixated on our idealized visions of what we believed the other person should become," she revealed during an interview with Today on October 11.
When questioned about why they hadn't proceeded with divorce, Pinkett Smith emphasized that they weren't prepared to formally terminate their marriage. "We're still striving to find a way to be true partners, you know, and in terms of how we portray that to others," she further explained. "We simply hadn't reached that point of clarity."
Pinkett Smith and Smith, parents to Jaden, 25, and Willow, 22, are making efforts to resolve their problems and rebuild their relationship into a life partnership, as clarified by Pinkett Smith during her appearance on Today.

Smith has chosen to remain mostly silent while Pinkett Smith has shared the revelations from her memoir. However, he did send her a note, which she read out on an episode of the "On Purpose With Jay Shetty" podcast recently.
In the note, Smith expressed his thoughts on finishing the book. He mentioned being amazed at the realization that despite spending most of his life with her, he was still taken aback, experiencing a range of emotions such as shock, surprise, laughter, inspiration, and heartbreak.
Smith commended Pinkett Smith for her professional achievement, expressing, "Listening to stories at a family gathering is one thing, but witnessing your powerful journey condensed like this is truly overwhelming. I recognize the immense effort it took to delve into such depths. I commend and admire you."
According to reports, the actor once again demonstrated his support by surprising Pinkett Smith onstage in Baltimore on Wednesday, October 18th.
"I simply desired to emerge and be present, supporting you just as you have supported me," he expressed during Pinkett Smith's visit to the Enoch Pratt Free Library, as reported by the Baltimore Sun. "Our journey together has been lengthy and filled with ups and downs. We refer to it as 'brutiful,' as it was both harsh and breathtakingly beautiful."
Smith also publicly acknowledged Pinkett Smith's unwavering dedication to their family.
Standing here today, I am experiencing immense joy, surpassing any previous moments in my life. The accomplishment of every single aspiration I have ever harbored has become a reality. Reported by the Baltimore Banner, I express that there is not a single desire remaining within me. All the accolades, wealth, and even the presence of a loving family have manifested, surpassing all the dreams I have ever had.
