Jada Pinkett Smith appeared to be in high spirits following her bombshell reveal that she and Will Smith have been quietly separated for years.
In photos exclusively obtained by Page Six, the “Red Table Talk” host flashed a big grin toward the camera after touching down at JFK Airport in New York City Saturday night.
Pinkett Smith — who was looking snug in a brown coat with a wrap-around hood — was notably ringless as she departed the airport.
This is the first time the “Girls Trip” star, 52, has been seen out since her shocking confession that she and the “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” alum have been living apart for seven years.
“We’re still figuring it out,” she told People Wednesday.
“We’ve been doing some really heavy-duty work together. We just got deep love for each other, and we are going to figure out what that looks like for us.”

Because of their separation, Pinkett Smith admitted that she was taken aback by Smith’s infamous 2022 Oscars slap, telling the outlet that she thought it was a “skit” at first.
During an interview with NBC released Friday, the actress noted that she was even more surprised because the “I Am Legend” star referred to her as his “wife” during the tense moment.
“First of all, I’m really shocked, because mind you, I’m not there. We haven’t called each other husband and wife in a long time,” she told “Today” show co-host Hoda Kotb.
“I’m really worried for Will because I don’t know what’s going on.”
The pair’s complicated marriage has made headlines in the past, notably after Pinkett Smith addressed her “entanglement” with August Alsina on “Red Table Talk” in 2020.
Smith, 55, later discussed their “open marriage” during an emotional interview, in which he admitted to bending his own expectations.
“Jada never believed in conventional marriage. … Jada had family members that had an unconventional relationship. So she grew up in a way that was very different than how I grew up,” he told GQ in November 2021.
The actor added that he doesn’t “suggest [their] road for anybody.”
“But … the freedoms that we’ve given one another and the unconditional support, to me, is the highest definition of love.”
The former couple shares son Jaden, 25, and daughter Willow, 22. The “King Richard” star also shares son Trey, 30, with ex-wife Sheree Zampino.
While Pinkett Smith has been promoting the release of her memoir “Worthy,” Smith subtly suggested that he’s not worried about what people are saying online.
In a video posted to Instagram Sunday, the Oscar winner appeared to sleeping on a boat.
“Fun fact about me. I can take a nap almost anywhere,” a voiceover said as phone notification sound effects played in the background.
Smith fittingly captioned the post, “Notifications off.”
