He also credited Jada Pinkett Smith&rsquo;s sacrifices for his successes.
Smith called his relationship with Jada &lsquo;brutiful,&rsquo; explaining that it was both brutal and beautiful.
&lsquo;It is a sloppy public experiment in unconditional love,&rsquo; he said.
Will Smith made a surprise appearance at Jada&rsquo;s event with their two children, Jaden and Willow, and his son Trey Smith. Pinkett Smith said the family, including her aunt and uncle and Will Smith&rsquo;s mother and sister, were in town to celebrate the 70th birthday of her mother, Adrienne Banfield-Norris.
&lsquo;Will and me are good. All the people who don&rsquo;t understand and got something to say are just going to have to fall in line. The truth of the matter is I&rsquo;m not leaving Will&rsquo;s side and he&rsquo;s not going to leave mine. We&rsquo;ve been on a powerful quest. And I&rsquo;m happier than I&rsquo;ve ever been,&rsquo; Pinkett Smith told Laura Coates of CNN, who moderated the discussion.
&lsquo;Worthy&rsquo; by Jada Pinkett Smith details her marriage, her Hollywood journey, her unconventional parenting style and gives her perspective of Smith infamously slapping Chris Rock during the 2022 Academy Awards ceremony over a joke about her shaved head.
Pinkett Smith told The Associated Press that she is feeling free since opening up about the separation.
&lsquo;It&rsquo;s a weight off my shoulders, honestly. Ever since the Oscars, it&rsquo;s so interesting how such an intense event can bring you closer together, and I would say that after that, we really dove in and dug in and got to this beautiful place we are now,&rsquo; she said in an interview.

As per a report by Page Six, the Oscar winner revealed that Jada's revelations 'kind of woke [him] up,' from a sort of 'emotional blindness' over the years.
Will said, &lsquo;When you&rsquo;ve been with someone for more than half of your life, a sort of emotional blindness sets in, and you can all too easily lose your sensitivity to their hidden nuances and subtle beauties.&rsquo;
He also added that the revelations made in the memoir kind of &lsquo;woke him up&rsquo; and he had also realized that Jada is more &lsquo;resilient, clever and compassionate than he'd understood.&rsquo;
Jada's comments
In an interview with NBC News special with Hoda Kotb, Jada shared, &lsquo;I think by the time we got to 2016 we were just exhausted with trying. I think we were both kind of just still stuck in our fantasy of what we thought the other person should be. I made a promise that there will never be a reason for us to get a divorce. We will work through whatever. I just haven&rsquo;t been able to break that promise.&rsquo;
Jada also shared that comedian Chris Rock had once asked her out on a date amid rumours of her divorce from Will Smith.
For the unversed, Will Smith slapped Chris Rock on the Oscars stage in the 2022 ceremony after the comedian joked about Jada&rsquo;s bald head.

Ahead of the 95th Academy Awards, the organisers are taking all preventive measures to avoid another possible slapgate incident. They have a new &lsquo;crisis team&rsquo; in place in response to the 2022 Oscars, where actor Will Smith walked on stage and slapped comedian Chris Rock.
During an interview with Time Magazine, Bill Kramer, CEO of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, was asked if there are any measures to avoid potential surprises. He said, &lsquo;Absolutely. And that's why you want someone like Jimmy (Kimmel) on stage who is used to dealing with live TV. Things don't always go as planned. So you have a host in place who can really pivot and manage those moments. But we have a whole crisis team, something we've never had before, and many plans in place. We've run many scenarios. So it is our hope that we will be prepared for anything that we may not anticipate right now but that we're planning for just in case it does happen.&rsquo;
Last year, Chris Rock had made a joke about Will Smith's wife-actor Jada Pinkett Smith being in &lsquo;G.I. Jane&rsquo; because of her shaved head, which triggered &lsquo;The Pursuit Of Happyness&rsquo; actor and he slapped him.

Actor Will Smith has apologsied to Chris Rock months after he slapped the comedian during the Oscars for joking about his wife Jada-Pinkett Smith's bald look. Jada suffers from a hair loss disease called alopecia. 
Here's the full text of his apology: 
'It is all fuzzy. I’ve reached out to Chris and the message that came back is that, he’s not ready to talk. When he is, he will reach out. I will say to you, Chris, I apologise to you. My behavior was unacceptable and I am here whenever you are ready to talk. I want to apologise to Chris’s mother. I saw an interview, and that was one of the things I just didn’t realise – I wasn’t thinking – but how many people got hurt in that moment. I want to apologise to Chris’ mother. I want to apologise to Chris’s family, specifically Tony Rock. We had a great relationship. Tony Rock was my man. This is probably irreparable.'
'I spent the last three months replaying and understanding the nuance and complexity of what happened in that moment. I’m not going to try to unpack all of that right now, but I can say to all of you, there is no part of me that thinks that was the right way to behave in that moment. No part of me that thinks that is the optimal way to handle a feeling of disrespect or insult.'
'It’s like, I made a choice on my own, from my own experiences, from my history with Chris. Jada had nothing to do with it. I’m sorry, babe.I say sorry to my kids and my family for the heat that I brought on all of us. To all my fellow nominees, this is a community.'
'I won because you voted for me, and it really breaks my heart to have stolen and tarnished your moment. I can still see Questlove’s eyes – it happened on Questlove’s award. It’s like ‘I’m sorry’ really isn’t sufficient.'
'Two things. One: disappointing people is my central trauma. I hate when I let people down, so it hurts me psychologically and emotionally that I didn’t live up to peoples’ image and impression of me.'
'The work I am trying to do is –I am deeply remorseful and I’m trying to be remorseful without being ashamed of myself. I’m human and I made a mistake and I’m trying not to think of myself as a piece of s***. So I would say to those people, I know it was confusing. I know it was shocking. But I promise you, I am deeply devoted and committed to putting light and love and joy into the world.'
'If you hang on, I promise we will be able to be friends again.'
