Live updates: Jada Pinkett Smith sits down with Hoda Kotb in NBC News prime-time interview

Pinkett Smith sat down for a People magazine story published this week and revealed that Rock had once asked her out on a date. At the time, rumors were circling that she and Smith were divorcing.

“I think every summer, all the reports would come out that me and Will were getting a divorce,” she told People. “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.’ And 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.’ He was appalled. And he profusely apologized, and that was that.”

Pinkett Smith, Smith and Rock have a long history that we recapped in a timeline here.
