Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith reunite at premiere amid separation news
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have been living separately, a fact they kept hidden from the public for years. The star couple has appeared together at a movie premiere in Los Angeles, marking their first joint appearance since the news of their marital troubles came to light.
Will Smith has long held a spot among the most famous American actors. He and his wife were once considered one of the most beloved couples in show business. There was significant buzz after an incident at the Oscars, where the 55-year-old actor rushed onto the stage and slapped Chris Rock, who had made a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith's appearance.
A few months ago, previously unknown details about the couple's private life emerged. During an interview Jada gave while promoting her book, it was revealed that the couple had been secretly separated for several years. Jada admitted that she and her husband were "exhausted by the constant attempts to save their marriage."
By the time we got to 2016, we were just exhausted with trying. I think we were both kind of just still stuck in our fantasy of what we thought the other person should be. I made a promise that there will never be a reason for us to get a divorce. We will work through ... whatever. I just haven’t been able to break that promise, the actress said on the "Today Show."
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith made their first public appearance since revealing their separation
Despite their private turmoil, the acting couple can still be there for each other. On Thursday, Will Smith shined at the Los Angeles premiere of his new film titled "Bad Boys: Ride or Die." On that day, he was accompanied by special family members. On the blue carpet alongside the star were not only his ex-wife but also his mother-in-law and children: Jaden, Willow, and his son from his first marriage, Trey.
Thursday's premiere was also the first occasion since the revelation of their separation that the former spouses posed together on the wall. As seen in photographers' photos, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith didn't seem to lack a sense of humor.
