Los Angeles, February 15 – Hollywood star Will Smith gave his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, a very special Valentine's Day gift. The actor gifted life-sized pillows featuring their blended family.
The 54-year-old actress shared a photo of the sweet gift, which featured her and the 57-year-old actor, along with their children, son Jaden Smith, 27, and daughter Willow Smith, 25, and Will's eldest child, Trey Smith, 33, whom he has with his 58-year-old ex-wife, actress Sheree Zampino, according to ‘Female First UK’.
Jada posted a video on her Instagram Stories, showing the various-sized pillows with the family members' faces printed on them against the walls of a large room, as well as some beside multiple flower bouquets and a balloon that read "Love".
She wrote on the clip, "Life-size pillows for a family cuddle. Thank you @willsmith. Happy Love Day everyone!"
According to ‘Female First UK’, Will and Jada met on the set of the sitcom, ‘The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’, when she auditioned for the role of Will's on-screen girlfriend, Lisa Wilkes. They got married on New Year's Eve, December 31, 1997, during an intimate ceremony held in Baltimore, Maryland. However, in October 2023, she revealed that they had secretly separated in 2016, but chose to remain married to one another.
Appearing on NBC's Today show at the time, Jada said, "It wasn't a divorce on paper, but it was a divorce”.
Asked why they kept their separation a secret for seven years, the ‘Scream 2’ star responded, "I think we just weren't ready yet. We were still trying to figure out how to be a partnership, and how to present that to people. And we hadn't figured that out yet".
Jada and Will felt "exhausted" by trying hard to make their relationship work.
