AceShowbiz - Will Smith, 56, and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, 53, were seen dining together at Crossroads Restaurant in Calabasas on Thursday, November 7, marking their first public sighting in five months. The pair appeared close as they shared a hug before leaving with a friend.
The famous couple, who married in 1997, have been living separate lives since 2016, as revealed by Jada in her memoir, "Worthy." Despite their estrangement, they have maintained a close bond, supporting each other through various challenges, including Will's infamous Oscars slap in 2022.
While speaking about their separation in 2023, Jada stated that they were both "exhausted with trying" to work on their marriage. She clarified that it was not a "divorce on paper," but rather a separation that allowed them to figure out their partnership and present it to the public.
Will and Jada have been transparent about the challenges and complexities of their marriage. Will has described their relationship as a "sloppy public experiment in unconditional love," while Jada has emphasized her commitment to their vows despite living in separate homes.
The couple are parents to son Jaden, 26, daughter Willow, 24, and Will's son Trey, 31, from his first marriage. She's spotted supporting her husband at the premiere of "Bad Boys: Ride or Die" in May 2024.
The nature of Will and Jada's relationship is fluid, and while they remain separated, their recent public appearance and continued support for each other suggest that their bond remains strong. Only time will tell what the future holds for this enigmatic couple.
