Will and Jada Pinkett Smith Are all Smiles Amid Divorce Rumors

Once again Will and Jada Pinkett Smith’s public appearance is being used to determine the health of their 16-year marriage. The couple and their children Willow and Jaden were on hand to celebrate Trey Smith’s 21st birthday.

The party was held for Will’s son at a Sin City hotspot Hakkasan and reportedly included 50 family members and Trey’s mother Sheree Zampino.

A source told Us Weekly:

“The energy in the room was ‘lively and filled with laughter.’ Will and Jada, in particular, ‘were in high spirits, rarely leaving one another’s side.’ They even snuck a few happy moments together away from the rest of the revelers.”

The unnamed source added:

“‘Will got on the mic to say a few special words in honor of the birthday boy. From there, the whole family — including Trey’s mom, Sheree Zampino — moved on to another hotspot, LAVO, where they kept the party going with music, cake, and dancing. (Trey’s underage half-siblings enjoyed a live feed of the action nearby in LAVO’s restaurant.)”

The family celebration comes one week after Will and his costar Margot Robbie took some fun and harmless photos in a photo booth provided on the set of their new film “Focus.”  Robbie slammed news of an affair as “ridiculous,” while Will and Jada allowed sources to speak on their behalf.

“Everything with them is great,” the insider revealed.

To further prove that she’s not allowing the persistent rumors to affect her good life, Jada posted a positive note on Facebook on Sunday,

“Thank you Higher Power for giving me yet another day with an opportunity to…live,” she wrote on Facebook. “My father would often say, ‘Nobody gets out of life alive.’ His words linger in my head as a reminder to live every day to the fullest and to live a life that is deeply meaningful. This is my wish for us all. Happy, happy Sunday, everyone.”

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
