The Smiths are demonstrating that love is love, and family ties remain unbreakable regardless of marital status or current partners.
Sheree’s recent comments suggest she views the slap as a catalyst for public healing, not just a PR disaster. With Will and Jada reportedly writing a book together, Sheree’s continued presence in his life hints at a family unit where boundaries are fluid and forgiveness is the primary currency.
Will (58) and Sheree (58) were married 1992-1995; they share son Trey (33). Jada revealed a seven-year separation in October 2023, then told the Daily Mail in December 2023 that the slap saved the marriage. Will and Sheree arrived in Sydney Nov 2, 2026.
Will Smith is playing both sides of the family table, and he’s doing it with a Banksia Bakehouse bag in hand.
Will Smith is clearly not one for quiet transitions. Just weeks after reports confirmed he had moved back in with wife Jada Pinkett Smith, the actor was spotted arriving at Sydney Airport on Monday, November 2, 2026, with none other than his ex-wife, Sheree Zampino. The two were captured looking genuinely all smiles, stepping out of a car and heading into the terminal with a casual ease that suggests this isn't their first rodeo together in years.
Will, 58, kept it low-key in a blue hoodie, gray sweatpants, and white sneakers, while Sheree, also 58, rocked an all-black ensemble complete with sandals and a baseball cap. It’s a bizarre visual: the 'Bad Boys' star taking a post-filming break with the mother of his firstborn, Trey, 33, rather than his current spouse. The timing is what makes this drip with drama, especially given the recent shifts in his primary marriage.
Will had just wrapped production on his upcoming movie, "Supermax," in Australia. Instead of heading home to the US or meeting up with Jada, he’s vacationing with the woman he married in 1992 and divorced in 1995. Sheree was photographed carrying a green tote and a maroon shopping bag from Banksia Bakehouse, looking perfectly content.
The exes have remained visibly close since their divorce, most notably posing together at the 2022 Oscars, where Will slapped Chris Rock and won Best Actor for "King Richard." The narrative around his current marriage to Jada Pinkett Smith has undergone a revisionist history in recent months. In October 2023, Jada revealed that she and Will had been separated for seven years, a bombshell that shocked fans. However, by December 2023, she told the Daily Mail that the infamous slap actually "saved" their marriage.
"After all those years trying to figure out if I would leave Will’s side, it took that slap for me to see I will never leave him," Jada said, adding, "Who knows where our relationship would be if that hadn’t happened?" Following that reconciliation, the couple reportedly moved back in together in July 2026. A source told People magazine they were "happy and love each other," and Jada has since revealed they are "talking about writing a book together" after both penned memoirs.
Amidst this reunion, Sheree’s role remains pivotal. She has been vocal about the slap incident, telling Us Weekly she "couldn’t make sense" of it at the time, though she hoped for reconciliation between Will and Chris Rock. "When Chris and Will can come together and heal in a public way... do you know how many people that’s gonna help and set free?" Sheree said.
Her perspective frames the slap not as a scandal, but as an opportunity for public healing. As Will juggles a reconciliation with Jada and a getaway with Sheree, one thing is clear: the Smith family tree has more branches than most, and Will is determined to water them all simultaneously.
