Will Smith has broken his silence about the bombshells dropped by his estranged wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, about their 25-year marriage.

The “Men in Black” star sent the New York Times an email saying the revelations “kind of woke [him] up,” adding that Pinkett Smith, was more “resilient, clever and compassionate than [he’d] understood.”

According to the Times article published Saturday, Smith said:

“When you’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.”

Smith’s remarks come mere days after Pinkett Smith sat down with Hoda Kotb and revealed that she and the “I Am Legend” star have been separated for seven years.
