Will and Jada Smith Dine with Jay Shetty in LA

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, who have been separated since 2016, were seen together in public for a dinner outing with Jay Shetty in Los Angeles. Despite their separation, the couple remains married, and Jada has stated she will 'never leave' Will, underscoring their commitment to working through their issues. The pair appeared affectionate, with Jada wrapping her arm around Will, and have been seen together only rarely since revealing their separation. Jada shared during her memoir promotion that the marriage had left them 'exhausted' by 2016, yet an event at the 2022 Oscars where Will defended her intensified her resolve to stay by his side. Will has described Jada as his 'ride-or-die,' expressing his deep affection for her despite their marital struggles. They live separately but close by, and both have indicated there will be no formal divorce, choosing instead to navigate their complex relationship together.
