The fun night out came after Pinkett Smith revealed toInStyle— in a new interview published Tuesday — how she approached her new memoir,Worthy,with her children and how they responded to it.
The actress shares Willow, as well as sonJaden Smithwith husbandWill Smith, whom she married in 1997. Meanwhile, theKing Richardactor also shares son Trey Smith with his ex-wife Sheree Zampino.
“What I did was tell them what’s in the book, what stories I was going to tell about them specifically, and [ask] if they were okay with that,” Pinkett Smith explained to the outlet, adding that “Willow has read [it], she’s an avid reader, and she’s the next author in the family."
TheGirls Tripactress then revealed that her daughter had “read a huge part of my book before it was even edited, so she loved it,” and “couldn’t wait” to read the finished product when it arrived.
“She was super excited about it,” Pinkett Smith toldInStyle, adding that with “the boys [Jaden and Trey], I just told them what was in it. They’ll read it eventually.”
Last week, the actress revealed on theTodayshow that she and Smith, 55, havebeen separated since 2016, telling hostHoda Kotbthat the pair had not shared that information publicly before as they weren’t “ready yet.” She also told Kotb that the two had been “still trying to figure out, between the two of us, how to be in partnership.”
She wrote, in part: “We had been living separate lives and were there as family, not as husband and wife. But when I hear Will yell “wife” in the chaos of the moment, an internal shift of Oh s— . . . I am his wife! happens instantly.”

Despite their separation, Pinkett Smith recently explained during an interview that theOscar winning actor is “still my man.”
During an appearance onThe Late Show with Stephen Colberton Monday, Colbert queried the actress on whether he should refer to Smith as, “Still husband? Or former husband?”
“He’s still — that’s still my man, that’s still my man,” Pinkett Smith replied. “I call us ‘life partners,’” she added. “But he’s my dude. He’s my right hand.”
