Will Smith and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, were photographed together for the first time since Smith slapped Chris Rock at the Academy Awards ceremony earlier this year.In the new pics, the couple is seen leaving Nobu in Malibu Saturday. Dressed in a navy polo, pants and matching baseball cap, Smith offers a peace sign to photographers as the couple exited the eatery, with Jada trailing behind him.
Holding on to her husband's shirt, Jada also kept it casual, rocking a black, long-sleeve jumpsuit with a flannel tied around her waist. She paired the look with hoop earrings and a pair of aviator sunglasses.The outing comes just weeks after the 53-year-old actor broke his silence on the Oscars incident, sharing a deeply personal video message on social media in which he apologized to Rock and the comedian's family, as well as his own family and friends.
He also revealed that he had reached out to Rock. However, «the message that came back,» Smith said, was that the comedian was not ready to talk and would reach out when he is. «It's all fuzzy,» Smith said of that night.
«I will say to you, Chris, I apologize to you. My behavior was unacceptable and I'm here whenever you're ready to talk.»Smith said his wife did not ask him to slap Rock and apologized to her and his family for «the heat» that he brought on them.
«I made a choice on my own from my own experiences, from my own history with Chris. Jada had nothing to do with it,» he said.«I hate when I let people down. So it hurts, it hurts me psychologically and emotionally to know I didn't live up to people's image and impression of me,» Smith told viewers in the video confessional. «And the work I'm trying to do is, I am deeply remorseful and I'm trying to be remorseful
