Will Smith And Jada Pinkett Smith Make A Rare Public Appearance In Malibu
Will and Jada were captured on camera together in Malibu on a Saturday as they were seen hanging out together outside of a renowned restaurant.

Will Smith released a video in which he apologized for his actions at the Academy Awards and discussed whether or not he has spoken with Chris Rock about the event. The actor also addressed the question of whether or not they had reconciled.
“I will say to you Chris, I apologize to you. My behavior was unacceptable and I’m here whenever you’re ready to talk. I want to apologize to Chris‘ mother. I saw an interview that Chris‘ mother did… That was one of the things about that moment, I just didn’t realize and I wasn’t thinking about how many people got hurt at that moment,” he said.
Although Chris Rock has made jokes about the slap event that occurred at the Oscars during his stand-up comedy performances, the comedian has not issued a public remark addressing the incident.
