JADA Pinkett Smith has revealed Chris Rock asked her out years before the comedian was shockingly slapped by Will Smith at the 2022 Oscars.<\/p>\n

Jada confesses in her new memoir that she and her husband have been separated since 2016.<\/p>\n

\n<\/p>\n

In a preview of the book, Worthy, Jada shares that Chris, 58, asked her out on a date while rumors swirled that she and Will, 55, were divorcing.<\/p>\n

The 52-year-old explained to People: "I think every summer all the reports would come out that me and Will were getting a divorce."<\/p>\n

"And this particular summer, Chris, he thought that we were getting a divorce," she continued. "So he called me and basically he was like, 'I'd love to take you out."<\/p>\n

Jada said she was surprised by the offer. <\/p>\n

"I was like, 'What do you mean?' He was like, 'Well, aren\u2019t you and Will getting a divorce?' I was like, 'No. Chris, those are just rumors.'"<\/p>\n

The former SNL funnyman was embarrassed according to Jada.<\/p>\n

"He profusely apologized and that was that."<\/p>\n

THE SLAP<\/h2>\n

Years later, Will and Chris would come face-to-face at the Academy Awards, after the Wild Wild West star stormed the stage and slapped the presenter after the comedian made a poorly-received joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's hair loss.<\/p>\n

Jada, on the contrary, has been struggling with\u00a0hair loss\u00a0for years, and last year decided to shave it all off.<\/p>\n

Her husband, Will, took offense at the joke and jumped up on the stage before hitting the presenter with a right hook.<\/p>\n

Jada, who had been\u00a0sitting next to Will at the awards ceremony, told People: "I thought, \u2018This is a skit.\u2019<\/p>\n

"I was like, \u2018There\u2019s no way that Will hit him.' It wasn\u2019t until Will started to walk back to his chair that I even realized it wasn\u2019t a skit."<\/p>\n

THE SPLIT<\/h2>\n

Elsewhere in the book, Jada revealed to Today that she and Will have been separated for years.<\/p>\n

Hoda Kotb\u00a0led the\u00a0interview\u00a0and said that the aspect of the book that shocked her the most, and one that she had to re-read, was that Jada and\u00a0Will decided to "live completely separate lives" in 2016.<\/p>\n

"It was not a divorce on paper, but it was a divorce," she said.<\/p>\n

Jada nodded her head and confirmed that it was true.<\/p>\n

"So since 2016, which is seven years now, y'all have been apart?" Hoda, 59, asked.<\/p>\n

"Yeah," Jada, 52, nodded her head.<\/p>\n

Will and Jada married in Baltimore, Maryland, on New Years Eve 1997 and share\u00a0two kids together, Willow, 22, and Jaden, 25.<\/p>\n
