Jada Pinkett Smith has sparked health concern among fans after a recent date night with husband Will Smith.
The longtime couple — Jada, 53, and Will, 56 — dined with Jay Shetty in Los Angeles on Thursday night, with the actress stepping out with a shaved head and bleached eyebrows.
The stars, who wed in 1997 and share two kids, put on a cozy display months after they were last seen in public together.
One person commented that Will ‘looks like her [caretaker]’ while another wrote online, ‘Man, Jada is looking rough. What’s going on with her?’ Another said that Jada ‘looks not healthy.’
She was clad in a gold Gucci track jacket and light wash boyfriend jeans for the dinner outing.
In October 2023, while promoting her memoir Worthy, Jada revealed that she and Will have been separated since 2016 but remain married.
While promoting the literary effort on the Today show, she told host Hoda Kotb that the marriage had left them ‘exhausted.’
‘I think by the time we got to 2016 we were just exhausted with trying,’ Pinkett Smith said on the broadcast.
‘I think we were both kind of just still stuck in our fantasy of what we thought the other person should be,’ she explained.
However, in her memoir she wrote that she decided to stay by her husband’s side the moment he slapped Chris Rock while defending her at the 2022 Oscars.
At the 94th Academy Awards, Will got out of his seat and walked onto the stage to slap Chris after the comedian cracked a joke about Jada looking like ‘G.I. Jane’ in reference to her bald head, which she shaves due to alopecia.
After returning to his seat, Will shouted at Chris twice, ‘Keep my wife’s name out of your f***ing mouth,’ stunning the live audience and viewers watching at home.
In retrospect, Jada said about the incident: ‘I knew it was going to be an intense reaction. And that was the moment that I decided that I was going to stay by his side.
‘You know, it’s funny how intense situations can amplify love, and it was a pretty difficult time, but it definitely drew us closer. So yeah, it’s crazy how things work.’
After Jada spoke publicly about their marital estrangement, Smith followed up with his own comments on the situation.
In an email published in the New York Times, he said her comments on their relationship were a wake-up call to him, adding that she was more ‘resilient, clever and compassionate’ than he’d realized.
The King Richard star told the paper, ‘When you’ve been with someone for more than half of your life, a sort of emotional blindness sets in.
‘And you can all too easily lose your sensitivity to their hidden nuances and subtle beauties.’
The twosome share son Jaden, 26, daughter Willow, 24, and Trey, 32 — who is from Will’s previous marriage with Sheree Zampino.
Will appeared on Instagram days ago to congratulate Willow, a singer-songwriter, on her two 2025 Grammy nominations.
The proud dad gushed to his 70 million followers, ‘CONGRATS, MA BEAN! 2 GRAMMY NOMINATIONS… WHOA!
‘I’ve watched you Suffer: Crying, Falling, Struggling, Rising, Training, Learning, Changing, Quitting, Growing, Collapsing, Rebuilding… And Now… Manifesting Your Wildest Dreams! I am honored to be your Daddy.’
The songstress’ project Empathogen is up for Best Engineered Album and her song Big Feelings received a nod for Best Arrangement, Instruments and Vocals.
