Will Smith reunites with Jada Pinkett Smith in Baltimore, calling their relationship ‘Brutal and Beautiful’

Hip-Hop legend Will Smith surprised his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, on a Baltimore stage Wednesday night to declare his unconditional love and devotion to her.

“I just really wanted to come out and just be here and hold it down for you the way you have held it down for me,” Will Smith said in a surprise appearance at the Enoch Pratt Free Library. “We have had a very, very long and tumultuous [relationship]. We call it ‘brutiful.’

“It was brutal and beautiful at the same time.”

As Smith spoke spontaneously from the stage before an excited crowd and effusive applause, Pinkett Smith stood at his side, one hand covering her mouth. Their son, Jaden, and daughter, Willow, stood toward the wings, gesturing excitedly, while Pinkett Smith’s mother, Adrienne Banfield Norris, who celebrated her 70th birthday Wednesday, watched from the audience.
