Chris Rock asked me out, says Jada Pinkett Smith

-

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith's marriage has been a topic of interest for many in recent years, even to Chris Rock, according to Pinkett Smith. “Every summer all the reports would come out that me and Will were getting a divorce,” Pinkett Smith told People magazine. “And this particular summer, Chris, he thought that we were getting a divorce. So he called me and basically he was like, `I'd love to take you out.'” Pinkett Smith said she was taken aback by the call.

“I was like, `What do you mean?' He was like, `Well, aren't you and Will getting a divorce?' I was like, `No. Chris, those are just rumors,'” Pinkett Smith recalled. “He was appalled. And he profusely apologized and that was that.”

Pinkett Smith writes about the encounter in her forthcomin­g memoir, “Worthy.” CNN has reached out to representa­tives for Rock for comment.

Her husband, Will Smith, slapped Rock as he was presenting an award during the 2022 Oscars telecast after Rock made a joke about Pinkett Smith being bald. She also said she and Smith have lived “completely separate lives” since 2016in an interview with Hoda Kotb.
