Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith Make Rare Joint Statement For Willow Smith’s Birthday
Despite their separation, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are still getting jiggy with it.
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air alum and the former Red Table Talk host reunited during Paris Fashion Week to support their 27-year-old son Jaden Smith, who debuted his first collection as the men's creative director of Christian Louboutin on Jan. 21.
For the fashionable family affair, Will donned a thick black coat with a matching sweater and tweed windowpane plaid trousers. The 57-year-old completed his look with black boots and sunglasses.
Jada, 54, also opted for a monochromatic ensemble, sporting a black blouse and leather pants under an oversized fur coat. The Worthy author—who also shares daughter Willow Smith, 25, with Will—capped off her outfit with silver accessories, including a chain necklace with an Om pendant and spiked Louboutin heels.
This was the first time the pair have been spotted out together in four months. In September, Will joined Jada to celebrate her 54th birthday at E Baldi restaurant in Beverly Hills.
That same month, they were seen having lunch at Nobu in Malibu, Calif.
And even though they quietly split in 2016, neither Will or Jada have plans to make their separation legally binding As the actress put it, "I made a promise that there will never be a reason for us to get a divorce."
"We will work through whatever," she told NBC in 2023, when she publicly confirmed their breakup, "and I just haven't been able to break that promise."

As for what went wrong in their 19-year marriage?
"Why it fractured, that's a lot of things," Jada explained. "I think by the time we got to 2016, we were just exhausted with trying. I think we were both stuck in our fantasy of what we thought the other person should be."
Still, she and Will have nothing but "deep love for each other."

"We are going to figure out what that looks like for us," Jada told People in 2023. "My children, they’re little gurus. They’ve taught me a deep sense of self-acceptance.”
She added, "The level of love, unconditional love that they have for me and their dad. And it's one thing to want to be the person that gives that unconditional love. And then there's, to be the recipient of that.”

Entanglement

Admitting she and August had an "entanglement" while she and Will were separated, she explained, "It was a relationship. I was in a lot of pain and I was very broken. In the process of that relationship I definitely realized you can't find happiness outside of yourself. Luckily enough, you and I were also going through a process of healing in a much different manner."
