Will Smith, 56, and Jada Pinkett Smith, 53, were photographed together at Nobu in Malibu over the weekend—their first joint public outing in nearly a year. The pair, who married in 1997 and share children Jaden, 27, and Willow, 24, confirmed their separation in October 2023 but revealed they’ve lived apart since 2016. Despite their unconventional arrangement, they’ve remained legally married.

Casual Outing, Complicated History
Will sported a laid-back look with a white shirt, khaki shorts, and a cap, while Jada opted for a nude strapless gown and gold accessories. The duo left in a white Lamborghini after dining at the celebrity hotspot. Their last public date night was in November 2024, and they attended the Bad Boys: Ride or Die premiere together in May 2024. At the event, Will praised Jada as his “most gangsta ride-or-die.”

Separation and Scandals
In a 2023 Today interview, Jada disclosed their separation began in 2016, admitting they were “exhausted with trying” but committed to avoiding divorce. The couple’s relationship faced turmoil in 2020 when Jada admitted to a past “entanglement” with singer August Alsina during their separation. Will addressed the scandal on her show Red Table Talk, where Jada clarified they were “over” at the time.

Career Moves and Comeback Efforts
Despite personal challenges, the duo is collaborating professionally. Their company, Westbrook, recently signed a deal with Paramount to develop films, including the thriller Sugar Bandits and Rabbit Hole. This marks Will’s gradual return to Hollywood after the 2022 Oscars slap incident, which overshadowed his Best Actor win for King Richard.
