The actor, who stars in the fourth installment of the “Bad Boys” franchise with Martin Lawrence, wore an all-black ensemble that included a floral-patterned blazer and fitted beanie. He accessorized with black-rimmed shades and a thick woven chain necklace.

Pinket Smith, 52, appeared proud to be standing by his side in a semi-sheer dress that featured a wavy black pattern throughout.

The couple was accompanied by their children, Willow Smith and Jaden Smith, as well as Will’s son Trey, whom he shares with his ex-wife, Sheree Zampino.

Jada’s mom, Adrienne Banfield-Norris, also walked the premiere carpet at the TLC Theater.

While Thursday evening marked Will and Jada’s first joint public appearance following her shocking revelation in October 2023, the former “Red Table Talk” host supported her husband at the Dubai premiere of “Bad Boys: Ride or Die” on May 22.

While the pair did not pose on the carpet together, the “Girls Trip” star documented the outing on social media by sharing photos of herself in a black-and-white Iris van Herpen gown.

Jada shocked fans last fall when she shared that they have been living separately for years while promoting her memoir, “Worthy.”

She had previously confirmed they were privately separated during her infamous “entanglement” with singer August Alsina.
