Will Smith & Jada Pinkett have an LAX photo-op: will they end up divorcing too?

In the immediate aftermath of Tom Cruise and Katie’s split, many people were like, “Er, why weren’t the tabloids on to this?” Well, I think they were. Granted, TomKat didn’t get as much attention as Brangelina and the Unholy Triangle, but Tom and Katie were featured regularly in all of the tabloids, and often the stories were of the same “Tom is crazy, Katie is brainwashed” variety. While I do think you can “slam” the tabs (and Radar and TMZ) for not being on top of some of the details of the TomKat situation in the weeks leading up to Katie’s divorce filing, I don’t think it’s fair to say that the tabs were completely clueless.

So, why am I discussing this now, in a post about Will Smith and Jada? Well, didn’t most of us think that Will and Jada would announce their separation before Tom and Katie? I certainly did. While I realize Will and Jada want the storyline to be “We’re working things out,” for the past year (and longer), the tabloids have been reporting on and on about their marriage problems. It’s said that Will is pretty much over it. It’s said that he’s screwing around. It’s said that she is too. It’s also said that these two have closer ties to the Church of Scientology than most people believe.

So what about these photos of Will and Jada looking very much together at LAX? Are they really working things out? Is this a photo-op designed to “prove” that they’re doing well despite the tabloid reports? Is this a reminder that at least one Hollywood couple is in it for the long haul? Or will I be using these photos in a few weeks when yet another divorce/separation announcement comes?

    For some reason I don’t think they will divorce any time soon, although it would barely register if they did it now with all the TC/KH divorce coverage.

    • RocketMerry says:

      I don’t think they’ll divorce any time soon, either.
      I think the co$ will “politely” ask that they stay the hell together for a long, long time.
      Will is still one of the few $ci celebs that is still sort of liked!
      If Tommy goes down, Will is the only thing they got.

      I can’t picture willow whipping her hair in boot camp?

      • RocketMerry says:

        Good call, corny! Maybe that’s why she shaved it all off 😀

        Although, one $ci practice was about shaving hair that are supposed to be contaminated or stuff like that. Hmmm…

  2. Dominiquew says:

    Will’s smile looks like a grimace – all strained and tense. Jada looks utterly miserable. You’ll be using these photos again soon enough I reckon.

  3. Amy says:

    They “look very much together,” but only in a strictly physical sense. They have zero body chemistry here. And she looks pained and miserable.

  4. Aiobhan says:

    I used to believe that they were both beards for one another an have been living a lie for years. But for some reason have now decided that they really are a straight couple trying to work things out. Will it work? Not if he is cheating all the time. I honestly believe if one photo of his shenanigans comes out or one (or seven people ala Travolta) come out then she will have no choice but to leave. She will not take public humiliation well. Especially because she is raising a daughter who is at an impressionable age. Or maybe I am just projecting because that is what I would do.

    These two run their own Scientology school…this photo-op seems very staged in light of all the Tom and Katie BS.

    • Catherine Paris says:

      I agree. Look at us, we are together and scientology is just great. Don’t pay attention to Tom and Katie.

      • Bings says:

        I agree. This is just a tactic to show another Scientology couple who are together ergo, it cannot be that bad.
        There’s nothing like good ol ‘Fresh Prince of Bel Air’ to get the folk feeling good again.
        I think Scientology and the people that practice, are so narcissistic that they do not realize that they have overplayed their hand.

        They have just seen the mirror which Katie and her father have so nicely given them.

      • Bad Irene says:

        Yeah I agree, and I expect a JLo photo op soon as well, although she seems more discreet about her CO$ leanings.

    • Issa says:

      They were returning from Ethiopia after visiting some water wells they funded. My friend was actually with them (works for the charity), and they did the trip without any fanfare or media. They have supported the same charity for a few years. I do believe all celebrities stage photos, especially if there are divorce rumors. However, this one wasn’t one of them.

  6. bubbles says:

    what the hell is up with her face? it looks like her skull is breaking through her skin. ewww!

  7. marie says:

    I dunno about the divorce, don’t really care but what the hell happened to Jada’s face?

  8. audreys says:

    No divorce coming and I love her outfit.

  9. Madpoe says:

    Jada’s hair looks far more excited than she does. Then again, the airport can suck the life out of a person.

  10. HappyJoyJoy says:

    What did she do to her face? eeeeeeeek! They both look tired and worn out. Not a very happy couple.

    • crtb says:

      If in fact, they are on their way back from Africa, that is an 18 to 21 hour flight. You wouldn’t look your best after such a long trip either. I think we should not read too much into a photo. They are just tired and jet lagged after a long trip and just want to get home. Doesn’t mean they are not a happy couple or they are divorcing.

  11. Jezi says:

    I feel this marriage will be like John Travolta and Kelly Preston’s. All for show and they will stay married for a while.

  12. Issa says:

    Don’t think it’s a photo-op this time. I have a friend, and he operates a charity water organization. He put up photos of Will & Jada on his FB within the last few days. Think they were in Africa? Will & Jada donate to the charity and apparently visited new water wells and to watch some of the drilling.

  13. Rhiley says:

    Jada’s face looks like it is deflating. She looks like she would cut a b*tch.

    • Ange says:

      I have never been able to get on board with Jada. She has always had a massive b*tch-face, even when she’s been smiling.

  14. hatsumomo says:

    speaking of Jada’s, what about Will’s face?! How does his face still maintain its boyish-ness and glow? I suspect it might be natural but the bitch in me wont believe it…

  15. Fritzi Schnitzer says:

    His first wife, Sheree, mother of Trey, was so pretty. Jada is a hongray hongray gargoyle.

  16. Stacia says:

    CHIPMUNK CHEEK IMPLANTS!

  17. Mita says:

    Hands on my cheeks like Kevin from Home Alone “Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! ” What the fluck happened to Jada’s face?

  18. SHEDA says:

    wow. he looks younger than her.

  19. Meanchick says:

    THIS is what you call a photo op? They look rushed and tired and are not dressed up or make kissy-face for the cameras. This is not a photo op, this is what most of us look like walking through the airport after a flight. I don’t believe their marriage is on the rocks, but I do think they had some problems, like most marriages. Doesn’t mean they’ll divorce. I think Jada can afford to add some extra protein to her diet.

    She looks like a man
