'It's a sloppy public experiment in unconditional love': Will Smith on his relationship with wife Jada Pinkett Smith following separation revelation
Will Smith joined Jada Pinkett Smith on stage as she promoted her new memoir in her Baltimore hometown Wednesday night, pledging lifelong support for her just a week after she revealed that the couple had been separated since 2016.
