"We just got deep love for each other and we are going to figure out what that looks like for us," she said at the time. "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't been able to break that promise."

Following the revelation, the Girls Trip actress faced backlash for being so candid about their martial struggles and unconventional relationship in the tell-all tome, later being accused of upsetting their children and "emasculating" and "embarrassing" her husband.

A source agreed with the gossip, claiming that it's been "so difficult for Will to stand by and hear all the things Jada’s been saying about him and their relationship."

"A part of Will wanted to believe they could work it out," the source added. "Jada wrote in her tell-all that they were ‘basically broken up,’ but Will didn’t see it that way."

Despite his private struggles with the situation, Will continues to stand by his wife and be her number one fan.

"Can you show up and love somebody for the rest of your life even when you don't agree with them?" he said to the crowd. "I am going to show up for her and support her for the rest of my life."

"Our union is a sloppy public experiment. It is a sloppy public experiment in unconditional love," he said. "As I stand here before you today, I am happier than I’ve ever been in my entire life … I have achieved every single thing I have ever wanted in my entire life."
