Jada Pinkett Smith is gearing up for an emotional release come October 17, as her revelatory new memoir, Worthy, drops that day after months of build up.

First announced back in June, the actress, who recently turned 52, has promised that the journey into her life and past will be emotional and detailed, shining a light on her famous family's dynamics as well.

As such, her family gathered around her to celebrate the book's upcoming release, and you can watch in the video below as they come together for an emotional reveal…

Jada was joined by her husband Will, her mother Adrienne Banfield-Norris, her step-son Trey (from Will's first marriage to Sheree Zampino), and their kids Jaden and Willow.

They cheered Jada on as she finally took out the first copy of her memoir, which she was seeing for the first time as well, while inside their magnificent family home.

They all applauded as Jada took out a copy of the book and flipped through the pages, marveling at the throwback baby pictures and the work on the physical outline book as well.

Trey called the book "really beautiful," while Jaden added a lighthearted moment to the video, flipping through the pages till he inadvertently happened to land on the section where his mom described conceiving the now 25-year-old with her husband.

His dad teased him, saying: "This is when I came! This is when I showed up!" while Willow looked to her mom and gushed: "I'm so proud of you!"
