Will Smith is breaking his silence — sort of.

The actor, 55, returned to Instagram on Sunday with his first post since wife Jada Pinkett Smith opened up about their marriage.

The video post showed Smith sleeping on a boat at sea surrounded by a variety of pinging sounds and ringtones.

“Fun fact about me: I can take a nap almost anywhere," a voiceover said before Smith woke, sat up straight and shook his head at the camera.

“Notifications off :)” he jokingly wrote in his caption.

The King Richard star then shared footage of himself leaning over the deck as he watched the waves during his boat ride.

“Yeah, that’s pretty hot,” Smith said in reaction to the view. 

Jada, 52, responded to the video as she wrote, “😂🤣.”

Will made his first post since wife Jada confirmed their separation on Sunday

The actress confirmed in an interview with NBC News’s Hoda Kotb last week that she and Will had been separated for seven years. She added that it was not "a divorce on paper,” but "by the time we got to 2016, we were just exhausted with trying."

“We’re still figuring it out,” Jada told PEOPLE ahead of the release of her memoir Worthy on Tuesday. “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.”

Will and Jada married on New Year’s Eve in 1997 while she was pregnant with their first child Jaden, 25. The pair are also parents to Willow, 22, and Trey, 30.

Jada said in a following interview that she and Will do not have a prenuptial agreement and that she doesn’t plan to divorce the star.

"Listen, weddings are beautiful, but they can be very romanticized," she told Parade.

"I feel that was a very real moment for the two of us to look each other in the eyes, recognize that there would be tough times in this journey and to say to each other, 'No matter what, we’re going to figure it out,’ “ Jada continued. “And that’s why we don’t need a prenup, because I’m making a promise that divorce won’t be necessary, that we will figure this out.”

She added, "And we made that promise to each other without all of the bridal wedding beauty; it was just sitting on a log in his mother’s backyard, and going, 'Hey.' Having to really look at the possibility of us not being together."

Jada's new memoir, Worthy, hits bookshelves everywhere Oct. 17.
