Will and Jada's first public appearance post-separation reveal

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have been living separately, a fact they kept hidden from the world for years. Now, the star couple appeared together at a film premiere in Los Angeles. It is their first joint appearance since news of their marital crisis was revealed.

For years, Will Smith has been among the top ranks of the most famous American actors. He and his wife have long been considered one of the most beloved couples in show business. There was considerable talk about an incident during the Oscars ceremony when the 55-year-old actor rushed onto the stage and slapped Chris Rock, who had joked about Jada Pinkett Smith's appearance.

A few months ago, previously unknown details about the couple's private life came to light. After an interview the actress gave while promoting her book, it was revealed that the acting couple has been living separately for several years, a secret they managed to keep from the public. Jada confessed 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 - this was shared on the "Today Show."

It turns out that despite their private turmoil, the acting couple can still support each other. On Thursday, the actor shone at the Los Angeles premiere of his new film, "Bad Boys: Ride or Die." On that day, Will Smith was accompanied by particular family members. Posing on the blue carpet alongside the star were his wife, mother-in-law, and children: Jaden, Willow, and the 55-year-old's son from his first marriage, Trey.

Thursday's premiere was the first time since the separation revelation that the couple posed together in front of the photographers. As seen in the photos, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith didn't lack a sense of humour.
