Jada Pinkett Smith is hinting that Worthy may not be the last time she writes about her marriage.

In an interview with Extra correspondent Carlos Greer, the actress, 52, revealed that she and Will Smith might collaborate jointly as co-authors.

“I know Will and I are talking about writing a book, together,” Jada said.

They even have a title already picked out, the Girls Trip star added: “Don’t Try This At Home.”

In an interview with Lewis Howes on his School of Greatness podcast posted Oct. 15, Jada said, “I hope one day we can write a book together” with Will. “The process that he’s going through right now, I think would be so helpful to so many men.”

Worthy included surprising revelations about the relationship between Jada and Will, 55, who have been married since 1997 and share son Jaden Smith, 25, daughter Willow Smith, 22 and Will’s son Trey Smith, 30.

Ahead of the memoir’s release, Jada confirmed in an exclusive interview with PEOPLE that she and the Emancipation actor had been separated for seven years by the time the pair attended the 2022 Academy Awards together.

“We’re still figuring it out,” Jada told PEOPLE. “We’ve been doing some really heavy-duty work together. We just got deep love for each other and we are going to figure out what that looks like for us.”

The separation wasn't "a divorce on paper," as Hoda Kotb worded it in a special edition of Today. But Jada said that "by the time we got to 2016, we were just exhausted with trying."

It was at the 2022 Oscar ceremony, during the onstage incident in which Will slapped presenter Chris Rock over a joke made at the expense of Jada’s alopecia, that she now says marked a turning point in their marriage. 

“The Oscar night and having to go through such an emotional crisis in that way,” she told Extra, “immediately I knew I would never leave Will’s side no matter what. And I didn't go in there as his wife. But I was leaving there his wife. So it showed me that love can conquer all.”

Noting that Worthy concludes with the 2022 Oscars incident, Jada added that she and Will “made our way back” in their relationship, and “that piece has been left out of the narrative.”

“Divorce is off the table,” the Red Table Talk host confirmed. “We are life partners.”

A joke "statement" video posted to Instagram on Tuesday showed Will teasing a response to Worthy and its many revelations. “I got something for you, here's the thing. So, my opinion of the — " he teased before fake-sneezing into his arm. The video then zoomed out, revealing stylized graphics of nature.

He provided more insights in a letter sent to Jay Shetty, which the host read on an episode of On Purpose with Jay Shetty. "It is amazing to realize that despite having lived most of my life by your side, I still found myself shocked and stunned and caught off guard, laughing, then inspired, then heartbroken,” wrote Will. “I was all over the place."

In a statement to The New York Times, Will said reading Jada’s memoir was an eye-opening experience. “When you’ve been with someone for more than half of your life,” he wrote to the publication, “a sort of emotional blindness sets in, and you can all too easily lose your sensitivity to their hidden nuances and subtle beauties.”

Asked if he's "still emotionally blind" following those comments, Jada told Extra, "No. That’s been the beautiful part of the second half of our journey. We’ve really done a lot of hard work together.”

“We started off codependent and we had to find our independence in order to come back in an interdependent way and be able to see each other’s point of view and really respect and love each other there,” she added with a laugh. “It’s a journey, man!”

Worthy is now available wherever books are sold.
