Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith’s marriage dynamic may still be confusing to some and his latest explosive claims about his wife have added to the confusion amongst the fans. The actor was joined by his wife on stage as she promoted her new memoir in her Baltimore hometown, pledging lifelong support for her just a week after she revealed that the couple had been separated since 2016.
The King Richard actor addressed the crowd at the Enoch Pratt Free Library on Wednesday night and said, "Jada is the best friend I have ever had on this planet, and I am going to show up for her and support her for the rest of my life," while crediting Pinkett Smith's sacrifices for his successes.
Will’s appearance with their two children, Jaen and Willow, and his son Trey Smith, was apparently a surprise for Pinkett Smith. It came at the end of a talk about her book, "Worthy".

Jada said that the family - her aunt and uncle and Will Smith's mother and sister - were in town to celebrate the 70th birthday of her mother Adrienne Banfield-Norris, on Wednesday.
Smith termed his relationship with Jada ‘brutiful’ explaining that it was both brutal and beautiful. "It is a sloppy public experiment in unconditional love," he said, a description that prompted Pinkett Smith to double over in laughter.
The American actress and talk show host told The Baltimore Sun that their estrangement was in the past and that she and Smith have been working in the last 18 months to repair their relationship.
Pinkett Smith told CNN’s Laura Coates, "Will and me are good," who moderated Wednesday night's discussion. "All the people who don't understand and got something to say are just going to have to fall in line." Jada added, "The truth of the matter is I'm not leaving Will's side and he's not going to leave mine. We've been on a powerful quest. And I'm happier than I've ever been."
