The emotional tribute comes after Jada made headlines last year for her controversial statements about her marriage to Will Smith, whom she was spotted with at a cozy dinner at Nobu Malibu, post-New Year's.

The "Set It Off" alum told Daily Mail earlier this month that Will's infamous Oscars slap saved their marriage. She explained, "After all those years trying to figure out if I would leave Will's side, it took that slap for me to see I will never leave him."

"Who knows where our relationship would be if that hadn't happened?" she added.

Opening up about their living arrangement, Jada revealed that she and the "Emancipation" actor were living separately during the incident.

She emphasized that no permanent decision had been made about their future together as they are "still figuring it out."

In the aftermath of the controversial Oscars slap when Will slapped Chris Rock for making a joke about Jada's bald head, the actress disclosed that she hasn't spoken to the comedian.

The 52-year-old expressed her desire for peace, noting: "[Do I have] any desire to talk to Chris? Here's my desire: I just hope that all the misunderstanding around this can be cleared up and that there can be peace."

She also shared that Rock had asked her out before the Oscars incident, as he believed the divorce rumors circulating in the media. Jada clarified that those were mere rumors, not reflective of her actual relationship status with Will.

She added: "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."
