Will and Jada Pinkett Smith Make First Joint Red Carpet Appearance Since Separation Announcement

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith are keeping their family together.
Indeed, just seven months after Jada confirmed the couple had been separated since 2016, the duo made an appearance together at the Bad Boys: Ride or Die premiere in Hollywood, Calif., May 30.
The former couple was accompanied by their children Jaden Smith and Willow Smith, as well as Will's son Trey Smith—whose mother is Sheree Zampino—and Jada's mom Adrienne Banfield-Norris.
And the Pinkett Smith family was dressed to impress, with Will, 55, donning all black attire including flared pants and a blazer with a pair of tinted shades. Meanwhile, Jada, 52, wore a sheer black-striped gown with sandal heels, while her mom rocked a denim dress.
Carrying on their parents' fashionable genes, Willow, 23, wore a plaid set with a matching long blazer, while Jaden, 25, wore JNCO-like jeans with a white button down shirt and a black vest, complete with black shades. Trey, 31, tied the entire family together in a forest green suit with matching shoes and tie.
And while the Worthy author recently confirmed that she and Will have long been separated, their appearance at the premiere together only follows suit with their relationship over the years. After all, they've often put on a united front amid their seven-year separation.
In fact, while she didn't pose for photos with the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star, Jada recently attended the Bad Boys: Ride or Die premiere in Dubai May 23—and shared highlights of the event to her Instagram, which Will later liked.
And although Jada has noted the duo is living separately, the pair do not plan to finalize a divorce any time soon.
"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 News in October. "I just haven't been able to break that promise."
Keep reading why Jada will continue to stick by Will, even when they are separated:

In 2020, Will and Jada addressed Jada's alleged affair with August Alsina.
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."
During the 2022 Academy Awards, Will slapped host Chris Rock over a joke the comedian made about Jada's shaved head.
After the slap, Will resigned from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences and was banned from its events for 10 years. He also apologized to Chris—calling the slap "unacceptable" and noting "there is no part of me that thinks that was the right way to behave in that moment."
In Oct. 2023, Jada revealed she and Will have been separated for 7 years, including the six leading up to the 2022 Oscars.
"We're still figuring it out," Jada told People in a profile published Oct. 11. "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."
