00:12 According to the latest,
00:15 Will Smith was present in Baltimore
00:17 while Jada appeared at the Anant Pratt Free Library
00:19 in a conversation about her memoir.
00:21 At one point, Smith even made a speech at the event

00:26 It's Anil Wani reporting.
00:27 On Wednesday, the "Set It Off" actress was stunned
00:29 when Smith came on stage
00:30 to give some words of encouragement.
00:32 According to the Baltimore Banner,
00:33 Will stated, quote,
00:34 "I just really want to come out and just be here
00:37 and hold it down for you the way you've held it down for me.
00:39 We've had a very long and tumultuous relationship.
00:42 We call it brutal, a combination of brutal and beautiful."
00:45 The Oscar-winning actor even on to commend Jada
00:48 for the sacrifices she's made
00:49 in order for his dreams to come true with his own career.
00:52 He went on to add, quote,
00:53 "And as I stand here before you today,
00:55 I'm happier than I've ever been in my entire life.
00:57 I have achieved every single thing
00:59 I have ever wanted in my entire life.
01:01 There's not one thing left that I desire in this world,
01:04 all of the awards, all of the money, the family,
01:06 everything I've ever dreamed."
01:08 Will did mention in the speech that Jada
01:09 is his best friend in the near 13-minute confessional.
01:12 Will's words of support
01:13 came after several recent revelations
01:15 in regard to his marriage with Jada Pinkett Smith.
01:17 During an interview with Hoda Kotb,
01:19 Jada recently revealed that she and Will
01:21 have been separated for seven years.
01:23 She stated, quote,
01:24 "I think by the time we got to 2016,
01:26 we were just exhausted with trying.
01:27 I think we were both kind of just stuck in our fantasy
01:29 of what we thought the other person should be."
01:31 Jada also recently mentioned
01:33 that she was ready to tell the world
01:34 that she and Will were no longer together
01:36 on "The Red Table Talk,"
01:37 but she mentioned that he simply was not ready at the time.
01:40 The "Girls Trip" star also brought up her entanglement
01:42 in her marriage to Smith
01:43 that occurred when the two were separated.
01:45 The actress has doubled down,
01:46 claiming she did not cheat on Smith with August Alsina.
01:49 According to reports,
01:50 one reason Jada and Will have been pushing themselves
01:52 to stay together and thus straining their relationship
01:54 was due to public perception.
