Jada smith house: Will Smith, Jada Pinkett Smith Buy $11.3 Million Hidden Hills House – DIRT
All the Houses They Have Owned Together, in California, Hawaii, and Pennsylvania
This story was originally published in April, 2021; it has been updated to reflect new information.
Over the course of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith’s 26 year relationship, the couple has accomplished quite a lot. Whether it be acting, singing, rapping, or producing, the Smiths can do seemingly anything—including investing in numerous impressive properties across the globe. Much like the multi-hyphenate couple themselves, their real estate portfolio has quite the range, including a massive Calabasas mansion—and even a $2.5 million motor home (yes, really!). Below, take a look at all nine properties that Mr. and Mrs. Smith have called home over the last two decades.
An $11.3 Million Mansion, Hidden Hills, California
In September of 2021, Dirt reported that the Smiths purchased an $11.3 million mansion in Hidden Hills, with six bedrooms and seven-and-a-half bathrooms. The 10,417-square-foot pad sits on 1.19 acres and boasts a refrigerated wine closet, a soundproof movie theater, and a game room with a wet bar.

In 1997—the year that Will and Jada got hitched—they purchased their first home together: a 8,000-square-foot abode in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania that cost $937,500, according to Variety. So, why did the couple first set roots in Pennsylvania? Well, just like he sings in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme song, Will Smith really was born and raised in West Philadelphia—specifically Wynnefield—just 15 minutes from this sprawling pad. Evidently, you can take the fresh prince out of West Philly, but not for long…!
A $700,000 Humble Abode, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
Variety reports that in 1998—just a year after purchasing their Bryn Mawr home—Will and Jada spent $700,000 on a 2,165-square-foot property north of Philadelphia. Not much else is known about this house, but it’s likely that the Smiths purchased both of these Pennsylvania dwellings to be close to Will’s family.

A $3.4 Million Mansion, Hidden Hills, California
In 2003, Will and Jada dropped $3.4 million on a five-bedroom, six-bathroom mansion in Hidden Hills, California, according to LoveProperty.com. Ever since 2017, the couple’s son, Jaden, has called this place home—and he’s one of many celebs who lives in this star-studded city. Kylie Jenner, Drake, Miley Cyrus, and Jennifer Lopez are also residents of Hidden Hills.
A $2.5 Million Motor Home

With a reported net worth of $350 million, Will Smith is one of the highest paid actors—so it only makes sense that he spends plenty of time on movie sets. Of course, this means he has to spend time away from his many homes, but fear not: He still has an impressive abode to live in while filming, thanks to his two-story motorhome that’s worth $2.5 million. Will lived in this RV while filming iconic films like The Pursuit of Happyness, Men in Black III, and Ali, according to Business Insider. This particular vehicle—which is nicknamed The Heat—boasts 1,200 square feet, 14 TV screens, a dressing room, a movie theater that seats up to 30 people, and a 360-degree security camera. And you, too, can live like Will Smith if this lifestyle suits your vibe (but it might set you back a few thousand dollars)—an RV like this costs an estimated $9,000 a week. Watch the above video for an inside look at this home on wheels!
A $42 Million Mansion, Calabasas, California

The most expansive (and expensive) property in Will and Jada Smith’s real estate portfolio is a 25,000-square-foot Calabasas mansion that sits on 150 acres, according to LoveProperty. com. This spectacular abode took seven years to build, from 2003 to 2010, and the final product boasts nine bedrooms, an eight-car garage, its own movie theater, and a private recording studio—which is where the couple’s daughter, Willow, recorded her 2010 hit song “Whip My Hair.” And if all of that wasn’t impressive enough, this home also has its very own zip code—and it graced the cover of Architectural Digest back in 2011. It’s unclear just how much the Smiths paid for this extensive dwelling, but it was briefly listed for $42 million in 2014, not long before being taken off the market.
A $13.5 Million Beach House, Hanalei, Kauai, Hawaii
Back in 2009, Will and Jada Smith spent $13.5 million on a 2,200-square-foot abode in Hanalei, a small town on the Hawaiian island of Kauai, reports The Wall Street Journal. The three-bedroom, three-bathroom dwelling sits on seven acres—and the couple quickly (and impressively) flipped the property in 2011, selling it for $20 million.
A $910,000 Mediterranean-Style Abode, Woodland Hills, California
In August of 2010, the Smith family trust spent $910,000 on a 4,146-square-foot Mediterranean-style abode in Woodland Hills, California, according to Variety. This two-story property includes five bedrooms, 5.5 bathrooms, three fireplaces, a pool and a spa. Although it’s not clear who lives in this dwelling, it surely sounds worthy of Hollywood royalty.
A $10 Million Compound, Kilauea, Kauai, Hawaii

Just a few years after buying and selling their first Hawaiian residence, Mr. and Mrs. Smith returned to the scenic archipelago, spending a cool $10 million on four different beachfront properties in 2015—and they ended up selling it all for $12 million just two years later, reports Variety. Located on the island of Kauai, this sizeable compound consists of 6. 91 acres, and the four residential complexes boast seven bedrooms and 7.5 bathrooms in total. The structures include a main house, guesthouse, carriage house, and a private studio, with amenities including a 50-foot swimming pool, spa, and tennis court (not to mention a private beach!).

A Closer Look at Jada & Will Smith’s Houses

From their Calabasas plush property that reportedly has its own zip code, to their two homes in Hidden Hills, power couple Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith own some of the most expensive mansions in LA.
The Smiths have also ventured outside the Sunshine State, with homes in Pennsylvania and Hawaii.
Not to mention their sixth (and most unique) abode — a two-story motorhome nicknamed ‘The Heat’ that is more like a mansion on wheels.
The Smiths main home in Calabasas
Will and Jada spend the majority of time in their Calabasas estate.
The luxurious ranch, nestled in the Santa Monica mountains near Calabasas has a man-made lake with views of Saddle Peak. The couple purchased the 150-acre lot in 2003, and the 25,000 square foot home was completed seven years later in 2010.
Was it worth the wait?
Fans of Jada’s Facebook Watch show, Red Table Talk, regularly get a sneak peek inside the magnificent mansion worth an estimated $42 million.
While there aren’t many pictures available with the interiors of the home, Jada Pinkett Smith’s Facebook Watch show, Red Table Talk, gives us a peek inside the Smith house in Calabasas with each episode. Image credit: Red Table Talk, Facebook
According to Architectural Digest, the Hollywood couple customized their Calabasas compound alongside architect Stephen Samuelson.
The adobe-style home boasts handmade pieces curated by LA designer Judith Lance. “Everything [I added] had to look handcrafted but at the same time refined and sophisticated,” Lance said of the unique interior.
Including spiritual infinity-knot patterns and floors inlaid with river stones, the custom-built two-story home has “various interpretations of adobe in Persian, Moroccan, Spanish, as well as Southwest American cultures,” Samuelson shared.

The estate’s landscape architect Daniel Busbin designed the outdoor pool, man-made lake and gardens. Boasting an island with a gazebo, Will says he’s made some of his biggest decisions on this picturesque spot. “Answers come to me out there,” the father-of-three said.
Some of the massive mansion’s fabulous features include nine bedrooms, a home theatre, a meditation lounge, an eight-car garage, a tennis court and a basketball court.

With A-list neighbors such as Kim Kardashian, Miley Cyrus and Justin Bieber, the luxurious digs also features a personal recording studio.
The couple’s 20-year-old daughter Willow recorded her hit song Whip My Hair in the state-of-the-art studio. Also, Willow and her pal Paris Jackson — the 23-year-old daughter of Michael Jackson — were seen jamming in the home studio on a recent episode of Red Table Talk.
The Smith family also has 2 homes in LA’s upscale Hidden Hills neighborhood
With a combined net worth of $400 million (reportedly Will, 53, is worth a whopping $350 million and Jada, 50, comes in at a cool $50 million), it’s no surprise that Mr. and Mrs. Smith have added to their LA real estate portfolio over the years.
In 2003, the same year they bought in Calabasas, the Smiths purchased a home in Hidden Hills. According to Love Property, Will and Jada spent $3.4 million on the 5 bedroom, 6 bathroom estate.
By 2017, the home became the permanent residence of the couple’s 23-year-old son, The Karate Kid star Jaden Smith.
According to Dirt, the Smiths loved the exclusive community so much, they recently purchased another mansion in Hidden Hills. The A-list couple spent $11.3 million on the 10,417-square-foot home which was completed in 2020.

The plush property boasts six bedrooms, six full bathrooms and nine half bathrooms.
With a modern open concept design, the mansion features several rooms for luxurious lounging, such as the soundproof media room, billiards room and wet bar that extends into the backyard.

Outside you’ll also find an infinity pool, covered patios with built-in heaters and a multifunctional sports court.
No word yet if this new Hidden Hills home will be passed down to Willow, or Will’s first child, 28-year-old son Trey, whom he shares with ex-wife Sheree Zampino.
Staying true to his roots, Will always wanted a beautiful home in Pennsylvania
In West Philadelphia he was born and raised, and on a playground is where he spent most of his days.
So when Will was financially able to do so, he bought a dream home in Bryn Mawr, Penn. as his first real estate investment. In 1998, the Fresh Prince star purchased the stunning 8,000 square foot property for just under $1 million.
Aloha! The Smith family and their two Hawaii homes
Being a blockbuster movie star definitely has its perks, and owning a dream beach house is par for the course. For years, the Smith family-of-five holidayed at their lux Hawaii home.
The tropical estate rests on the beachfront of Kawai’s North Shore. Reportedly, the oceanfront home features 7 bedrooms, 7 full bathrooms and 2 half bathrooms.
According to Love Property, Will and Jada bought the beachfront estate in 2009, and sold it to Russian socialite Ekaterina Rybolovleva in 2011 for $20 million (which was a $6.5 million profit for the Smiths). Mahalo, indeed!
Will and Jada returned to the Hawaii real estate market again in 2015. The power couple purchased a seven-acre estate in Kilauea, a small town on the northeastern shore of Kauai, Mansion Global reports.

Featuring three bedrooms in the main house, the oceanfront property also includes a two-bedroom guest house, a one-bedroom carriage house and a multi-purpose studio.
Formerly owned by NBA star Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, the two-story beach house includes two wood burning fireplaces, high ceilings and doorways, an outdoor 5-foot swimming pool and spa, a tennis court, fruit trees and a private ocean-access trail to Secret Beach, one of the island’s most secluded beaches.
According to Love Property, the Smiths sold the oceanfront estate in 2017 for $12 million.
The Smiths most unique home is a mansion on wheels
When you’re an A-list movie star, not any little trailer will do. In fact, Will has a custom-built motorhome nicknamed ‘The Heat’ as his home-away-from-home when he’s filming.
Worth $2.5 million, Will lived in the luxurious two-story motorhome while filming some of his greatest movies, including, Ali, Pursuit of Happyness and Men in Black III.
According to Business Insider, the luxurious RV is 1,200 square feet and sits on 22 wheels. Some of the impressive features include 14 private TVs, $150k worth of granite in the bathrooms and kitchen, $30k worth of leather, a 30-person screening room and Star Trek-style doors opening up to the wardrobe room.

The Smiths’ impressive real estate portfolio might induce a bad case of zip code envy. But here’s the good news: If you want to live like Mr. and Mrs. Smith, you can rent The Heat for a cool $9,000 per week.

from the Calabasas mansion to Hawaii retreats
Take the tour of Jada and Will Smith’s houses: from Hawaii boltholes to their $42m Calabasas home, The Smith’s impressive property portfolio needs to be seen.
..
Will Smith has undoubtedly had the Midas touch in his career, rolling from one Hollywood blockbuster to the next with hits like Aladdin making him one of the highest-paid actors in the world. But he also really has it sussed when it comes to real estate.
With a combined net worth of $320 million (£267m), we’d hardly expect Will and wife and fellow actor Jada Pinkett Smith to have a modest home, but their bulging property portfolio is impressive even for Tinseltown royalty.
L to R: Jaden, Willow, Will, Jada and Trey. Image: Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images
Over the years, the pair have bought and sold an array of gorgeous homes, earning themselves quite a reputation in the industry.
Will and Jada’s property empire
Their luxury property journey began all the way back in 1998 when the pair snapped up a palatial 8,000-square-foot property in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania, for $937,500 (£780k).

Will and Jada’s collection grew in 2003 when a family trust overseen by the Smiths purchased a five-bedroom, six-bathroom estate in the exclusive Hidden Hills neighbourhood of Los Angeles for $3.4 million (£2.8m). Since 2017, the plush property has been home to the couple’s son Jaden.
A further dwelling in LA’s Woodland Hills was acquired by the trust back in 2011 for a relatively modest $910,000 (£757m), sparking rumours that the house was bought for family or staff.
Aloha! The couple buy in Hawaii
On sunnier shores, the couple’s real estate investment has included a couple of spectacular spots in Hawaii over the years too.
Their first property on the idyllic isle in 2009 was a lavish oceanfront home spread across seven acres. The deal made them a tidy profit, fetching $20 million (£16.7m) when it went up for sale in 2011; $6.5 million (£4. 5m) more than they paid for it.

Meanwhile, their second tropical retreat, purchased in 2015, included four residences, a tennis court, a 50-foot swimming pool and a private access trail to the beach. The couple later sold the compound in 2017 for $12 million (£10m).
But mansions aren’t the full extent of the actor’s property empire…
Will’s custom RV

Will Smith reportedly commissioned a lavish motorhome worth $2.5 million (£2m) – a wise choice for a man who spends so much time on location. Nicknamed ‘The Heat’, he used the two-storey land yacht while filming Men in Black III, Ali and The Pursuit of Happiness.

The seriously slick RV sits on 22 wheels, 1,200 square feet of accommodation, 14 TV screens, a 30-person cinema, 360-degree video surveillance, a dressing room and $30,000 (£25k) worth of leather!
The Calabasas estate
However, the place that Will, Jada and the family call ‘home sweet home’ is in the glitzy LA county neighbourhood of Calabasas.
Their most extravagant investment to date, the sprawling $42-million (£35m) property offers a vast 25,000 square feet of living space, including nine bedrooms, a home theatre, an eight-car garage and an outdoor pool.
The sprawling Calabasas property is a sight to behold… Image: Google Earth
The Smiths snapped up the ranch and began construction on their luxury compound in 2003, but it took seven years to complete the project, which both Will and Jada were heavily involved in.
The custom-built home isn’t short on luxury leisure facilities, with on-site basketball, tennis and volleyball courts, plus a sunken trampoline. Despite the opulent amenities, Will told Architectural Digest that his favourite spot is the peaceful gazebo at the heart of the estate’s secluded lake.
Let’s take a look and see why the Fresh Prince really is the king of his own castle…
Will Smith’s house has its own ZIP code
That’s right – if you own this amount of land then it’s only natural that you should have your own ZIP code. Well, how else will people know you’re rich?
L to R: Trey, Jada, Willow and Will working out in the huge grounds of their Calabasas estate. Image: Instagram/@WillSmith
In total, the estate spans an enormous 150 acres, offering the ultimate private retreat from the limelight.
A real family home
Despite the fact that the couple’s kids Trey, 26, Jaden, 21 and Willow, 18, have all grown up and flown the nest, the property is still a welcoming home where the clan hang out together regularly.
The family often post cute snaps of their life at the house, like this festive photo.

Being famous can take its toll (we assume), so having this gorgeous meditation room to unwind and reset in is surely a necessity. Just look at that plush thick-pile carpet!
The huge house has plenty of space devoted to the family’s interests. Image: Instagram/@jadapinkettsmith
The Smiths are a family of book lovers
Rather than a few sparse coffee table books, the Smith home is packed with actual bookcases – remember those?
This alcove has been beautifully fitted out with dark wooden shelves and an intricate cabinet to store just some of the family’s impressive collection.
There is plenty of reading material in these gorgeous wooden shelves. Image: Instagram/@WillSmith
Gorgeous decor
These guys know what they like and are happy to go all in. Unlike so many of the cookie-cutter mansions in the area who all use the same interior designers, this is a home that stands out thanks to its unusual, characterful aesthetic.
Inspired by natural adobe architecture, the unique home is awash with rustic features and intricate craftsmanship. We love the exposed beams, canopy beds, huge wooden doors and carved animal sculptures. Check out that gorgeous chandelier…

Given that it was seven years in the making, the considerable estate required blood, sweat and tears to bring it to life. With the help of designer Stephen Samuelson and architect Harry Perez-Daple, Will and Jada were finally happy with their finished family home in 2010.
In an interview with Architectural Digest, Will explained the attention to detail that went into the property: “Everything needed to be done by hand. We wanted to feel the love and labour that went into every piece of this place.”
To create a completely original home, the Smiths have brought in artefacts from around the world – the front door was once the entrance to a fort in northern India.
This amazing front door is an artefact from India. Image: Instagram/@jadapinkettsmith
Elsewhere, there’s antique carved panelling, plus custom-made bronze fixtures.
Private music studio
Remember when Willow Smith released that catchy hit in 2010, ‘Whip My Hair’? Well that was actually recorded in her own home. A state-of-the-art music studio in a residential property is a bit of a novelty, even in these star-studded parts.

A proper family home
Far from being a spotless all-white showhome, the gorgeous kitchen has real heart, with a sociable open-plan layout and family-friendly features such as a pizza oven. Sweet home videos have been filmed here, such as Jada teaching her daughter Willow to ice a cake.
The characterful room has a large island unit, wooden flooring and plenty of built-in oak cabinets, paired with a warming yellow colour scheme that complements the rest of the house.
Just like the rest of the house, the kitchen is warm and uses earthy tones. Image: Instagram/@jadapinkettsmith
All out at Christmas
With a fake snow machine outside the entrance, a huge tree in the hall, plus garlands and fairy lights adorning the main staircase, it’s clear the Smiths take the holidays pretty seriously!

The house is also the set for the family’s very own series called ‘Red Table Talk’, streamed on Facebook Watch.
Members of the Smith family, together with Jada’s mother, Adrienne Banfield-Norris, candidly discuss issues from family life to mental health and current affairs around a (red) table in the Calabasas home. Various guest stars and friends of the family also make appearances on the popular show.

All Of Will Smith And Jada Pinkett Smith’s Lavish Homes Over The Years
Tinseltown/Shutterstock
By Melissa Maynard/Jan. 7, 2022 12:20 pm EDT
Actor Will Smith has had a pretty incredible career, starring in blockbuster movies such as “Men in Black,” “Aladdin,” “I, Robot,” and “Independence Day,” among a slew of others. His wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, has also had her fair share of hits, including “The Matrix” movies, “The Nutty Professor,” and “Scream 2.”
According to Us Weekly, Will and Jada married in 1997 and started creating a real estate profile from the get-go. As per Celebrity Net Worth, the couple has a total net worth of around $400 million combined, which has allowed them to buy some stellar properties across the country. It turns out the couple owns superb mansions worth millions in Pennsylvania, California, and Hawaii — oh, and an RV on wheels worth $2.5 million (via Architectural Digest). Read on and take a look at all of the homes that Will and Jada have purchased during their decades together.
The Smiths purchased a mansion in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania in 1997 for $937,000

Will Smith was born and raised in West Philadelphia, so it’s no surprise that this area would be a top pick for him to invest in real estate and be close to family. Per Us Weekly, Will and Jada Pinkett Smith started their romance after Jada auditioned to be Will’s girlfriend for “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.” While she didn’t ultimately get the role (that went to Nia Long), Jada did end up stealing Will’s heart. After tying the knot, the mansion in Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania was the couple’s first property.
According to Variety, the successful duo paid just under a million at $937,000 for the 8,000-square-foot home, which has plenty to do on the expansive grounds, including a swimming pool and tennis court. A year later, in 1998, the couple bought another home — a smaller, modest home at just 2,165 square feet (well, smaller compared to their 8,000 square foot home!) for $700,000 a few miles north of Philadelphia. The first property is only 30 minutes from West Philadelphia and kick-started the couple’s massive real estate holdings that span two decades.
The Smith’s Hidden Hills, California Mansion was purchased in 2003 for $3.4 million
Google Earth
According to House Beautiful, you may recognize the following address. Hidden Hills, California, is an exclusive neighborhood and is located in the West San Fernando Valley. The area lures a slew of celebrities from Jennifer Lopez to Miley Cyrus … and Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, of course.
The couple scooped up a $3.4 million, 6,000-square-foot, Mediterranean-style mansion in 2003, located in a gated community while they were building their massive $42 million Calabasas mansion (which we’ll get you the details on next). The Smith’s Hidden Hills home has enough room for the entire family with five bedrooms and six bathrooms. However, in 2017, the couple’s son, Jaden Smith, took up residence in the home. Per TV Guide, Jaden starred in 2006’s “The Pursuit of Happyness” and 2013’s “After Earth” alongside his famous father, as well as in 2010’s “Karate Kid.”
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith’s Calabasas, California compound is worth $42 Million
As we mentioned, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith lived in their pad in Hidden Hills while they built the massive 25,000-square-foot adobe-style residence that sits on 150 acres from 2003 to 2010. The sprawling mansion boasts nine bedrooms and 13 bathrooms. According to Architectural Digest, the estate was designed by Stephen Samuelson, architect Harry Perez-Daple, and Judith Lance, a noted interior designer. “For Will and me, this home was always a spiritual endeavor,” Jada told Architectural Digest. “We’re very earthy, organic people. We wanted to create a family retreat, something made by hand and as natural as possible, something that ties back to the land.” You also may recognize the home since it’s where Jada films her highly successful show, “Red Table Talk.”
House Beautiful notes that the home’s most unique feature might be that it has its own zip code (yes, it’s that large!). The outlet also shares some other pretty impeccable features, including room for eight cars in the garage. There’s also a recording studio where daughter, Willow Smith, recorded her 2010 song “Whip My Hair,” and a movie theater where the family can re-watch some of their best movies. The abode also overlooks a lake and has a meditation room that Jada loves. As for Will, he loves a gazebo that sits out on the lake where he likes to clear his head, as told during their interview with Architectural Digest (via Today).

She has been the owner of a $3.1 million Malibu mansion since 2020, according to Dirt. Like Jaden Smith, Willow has had her time in the spotlight. You may remember her acting alongside her father in 2007’s zombie thriller ”I Am Legend.” Or, perhaps may recall her from her 2010 debut hit ”Whip My Hair,” and most definitely from “Red Table Talk” alongside her famous mom and Adrienne Banfield-Norris, also known as Gammy (Jada’s mom).
Willow’s Malibu home is truly stunning. According to Realtor, the 2,984-square-foot residence has beautiful views of the ocean and mountains. It also has four bedrooms and four bathrooms, so there’s plenty of room if Willow wants to have her famous family and friends stay over.

Inside Will Smith’s $42 Million Calabasas Mansion
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith’s $42 million house in Calabasas is filled with earthy tone and fine aesthetics.

Details Of The $42 Million Property
In a short time, Will and Jada purchased adjacent lots to consolidate the next 150 acres: their forested Shangri-la.
Due to the environmentally sensitive landscape and labyrinth of district regulations, the process of obtaining a building permit dragged on for four years. The construction of the house did not finally begin until 2003, after Samuelson and his team returned the ground to its natural topography and restored sections that had been leveled for the races.
The architect led a small army of workers who applied the plaster with spatulas, which defined the character of the two-story house that curled around the parking lot.
“The aesthetics of mudbrick houses are rooted in history and are interpreted in various ways in Persia, Morocco, Spain, and the cultures of Southwest America,” explains Samuelson.
The textural qualities of traditional three-layer stucco, with all its inherent flaws, are reflected in the exposed timber ceiling beams made from the remains of old houses and barns. Wrought iron railings and floors inlaid with river stones, laid in a spiral of endless patterns reinforce the spirit of the project, hand-forged with spiritual aspirations for naturalness.
References to ancient cultures are everywhere – thanks to the Smiths’ collection of antique carved panels, doors and architectural details from the Middle East, Africa, the Southwestern United States and Asia, including the monumental front door that once provided entry to fortress in northern India. “These doors have a special effect on me”, confesses Giada. – “I always think of them as the threshold of something new”. for several years, the rooms were finalized by Los Angeles decorator Judith Lance.
“When I started work, the house already had traces of finishing materials, stone and paint,” says Lance. time very sophisticated and sophisticated.”
Studying books on the use of precious stones in various tribes, Lance decorated each room in a special style. In the living room, she installed a snake-themed fireplace with a copper mesh screen, hand-decorated with bronze carnelian cabochons .
In the secluded seating and dining area, she hung a twisted brass leaf sconce by artist Mary Brogger and a custom bronze and leather chandelier with rock crystal and hand-strung beads.
The house also has an amazing four-poster bed made from tiny balls, suspended from the ceiling by bronze chains.
Samuelson’s spatial composition, full of secret corners and tranquil alcoves, makes generous use of soaring curves and unorthodox geometry, so many rooms, large and small, that flow into one another like a lyrical maxim. “The idea was to show infinity ,” says Will. “ “Create an endless cycle that symbolizes our love and eternal life.”
For Lance, the architecture of mobile forms meant that every piece of handcrafted furniture had to be carefully measured and crafted. “ That was the beauty and challenge of this project,” she says. “ Everything I’ve done has been incredibly precise, both technically and aesthetically. Nothing here has left the store shelf.”
It seems natural that this natural and organic home should continue to evolve. “Certainly, work on a masterpiece cannot be completed, it can only be suspended,” – Jada says half-jokingly. – “Will and I were very young when we started decorating this house, so it continues to change as we get older; but everything done here will always stand for the strength of our union and the love of our family.”

What about Will Smith’s wife? Jada Pinkett Smith shaved her head
March 28

If not for the incident between the unsuccessfully joked Chris Rock and the offended Will Smith, then we could have missed the 94th Oscar ceremony altogether. We tell what happened and what does Jada Pinkett Smith have to do with it.

What happened?
Video of the day
During the Oscars ceremony, renowned comedian Chris Rock announced the nominees for the Best Documentary category, poking fun at the guest stars in between. So, he walked through the spouses Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz, saying:
“You know who is having the hardest time today? Javier Bardem and his wife are both nominated. I mean, if she doesn’t take the prize… he can’t win! And he prays that Will Smith wins!”
After this phrase, the host switched to the wife of the King Richard star and said, “Jaida, I love you! Looking forward to G.I. Jane 2! At first, Will Smith smiled, but, as Western publications write, when he saw Jada’s chilling gaze, he immediately went to defend his wife’s honor. The actor got up on stage and slapped Rock. At this time, the recording of the broadcast of the award was interrupted, but viewers who followed what was happening in Australia and Japan still heard Smith’s angry words against the comedian.

What hurt Will Smith and his wife so much?
In 1997, Demi Moore had to sacrifice her hair and shave to look like a boy to appear in GI Jane. Before the audience, the actress appeared almost bald, by the way, for this role she received $ 11 million. But Jada Pinkett Smith has a different story: in 2018, on the air of the American show Red Table Talk, she spoke about a severe autoimmune disease – alopecia (a disease in which a person loses hair). The star admitted that she is forced to wear turbans, which help to hide the problem from society. “One day I was taking a shower and suddenly I saw that whole strands of hair were flowing from me,” said the wife of actor Will Smith. Why she developed such a problem, the doctors could not determine.
globallookpress.com
Jada then posted a video on Instagram in which she again publicly talked about what she had to deal with every day and showed a new line of hair loss on her head.
“Now I can only laugh at this. You all know that I struggled with baldness for a long time, and now look at this line on the right in the middle right here. She took it and just like that appeared! It looks like I’ll have a hard time hiding it this time, so I thought I’d share it with you so you don’t have to ask any questions. By the way, I decided to decorate this place with rhinestones, I will make myself a small crown, ”
she said.
In 2021, Giada admitted that her alopecia had led her to severe depression, but said she wanted to learn how to live with the condition. Now the wife of Will Smith appears in public with a bob cut and claims that she still feels attractive.

What happened after the slap?
After the incident, users began to speculate whether this fight was planned or whether the conflict between the stars was to blame, which has been going on for several years. It turned out that this is not the first time the comedian has been joking about Jada Pinkett Smith. He ridiculed the actor’s wife when she called for a boycott of the Oscars because of the large number of white nominees. Then Rock said that Will Smith’s wife did not go to the award, because she was simply not invited.
globallookpress.com
However, the audience and even some of the actors consider the incident a production that should have increased the ratings of the ceremony, which have dipped dramatically over the past few years. According to Vanity Fair, celebrities actively discussed this topic at the stellar after-party.
It should be noted that the organizers of the event have already denied the scandal, saying that this is not a performance and that they do not encourage any form of violence, and in the Western media they write that Smith may lose his Oscar (best male role in the film “King Richard” ) because of the fight. According to one influential source, members of the American Academy are very upset about the act of the star.
“Basically, this is an attack. Everyone was so shocked in the room, it was so uncomfortable. I think Will would not want to give away his Oscar, but who knows what will happen now, “
,” the insider said.
globallookpress.com
The couple’s son Jaden Smith supported his father after the incident, writing on social media: “This is how we do it.” But the daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith Willow, who shaved to support her mother in her fight against the disease, is still silent.
What’s going on with Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith?
Will and Jada first met in 1995 when she auditioned for the role of Smith’s girlfriend on his hit show The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The girl was not taken for the role, but she began an affair with the actor. The couple married in 1997 near Will’s hometown of Baltimore. In 2012, there were rumors about the divorce of the stars, but they denied them. “I will never leave my queen,” the actor commented then. In 2021, Jada admitted that she had an affair on the side, but she and Will managed to keep the family together. Now the couple is raising three children: son Jaden, daughter Willow, and son Jada from his first marriage, Trey Smith.

Getting divorce papers sucks. It’s like it’s an official document that you’re a piece of shit that no one likes. No matter how bad your relationship was, divorce always creeps up unexpectedly. I mean, of course, you suspected that you were not doing very well, but damn… not so much.
The gods of divorce are merciless: by a strange coincidence, I received the papers on February 14th. Day, his mother, Valentine.
Sheri was fed up. I couldn’t believe this was happening to me. The divorce of my parents was once the worst event in my life, and now it was much worse. This is a stab in the back, I was completely beside myself. And I put my son in the same situation that once made me think about suicide.
Sheri said that I love not her, but my idea of her. What, as it seemed to me, should personify the ideal wife.
“Anyone could have been in my place,” she once said.
Sheri called herself my wife for show. A woman who existed in my life solely to put a tick in the box “Wife in Will Smith’s ideal life.”
Sheri and I just recently bought a house in Encino. There was a lot of renovation going on there, but Sheri took Trey and moved there. It seemed to me that she spoils my life, destroys our family. I promised myself not to let this happen, but get it, sign it – I’m not even thirty yet, and my family is already being destroyed.
I felt like I was dying.
I called Quincy.
How are you, Philly? – he asked.
Sheri filed for divorce.
– Damn. How are you feeling?
– Terrible. Now the lawyers will go, and all this garbage. I don’t want to get divorced at all…
— I understand you, boy, I went through it myself. I can help with advice.
I have never needed good advice as now.
“Give her half of your junk and forget about it forever.
– Eh?
– All my divorces were resolved in a day. As soon as the women begin to appear against me, I give them half of my rubbish, and they roll on all four sides. But then I’ll tell you something completely unexpected.
He lowered his voice like Morpheus from The Matrix offering me a red pill.
– You will still see each other every Christmas. If you have common children, you will not get away from each other.
Quincy has been divorced three times already. Boy, my ex lives across the street! Another one a block away, and the kids in three different houses. We are all still one family! They think if you get divorced – and it’s all over, but it’s not like that. You will be everywhere, on billboards, in advertising… Give her half, tell her that you will see each other for Christmas, and continue to live in peace. Next year you will return this money back – you will earn. Write her a fucking check and calm down.
Not exactly what I expected to hear. I wanted him to tell me how to fix it. How to make her keep our vow. After all, I thought that I had only two options: win or die. Where did that damned third option come from – surrender?
And half of “Thriller” is still a lot of money.
I would never get married if I thought there was a divorce option.
If there is an option to give up, they will still choose it – after all, this is the simplest. If you have to choose whether to go for a run at five in the morning or NOT to go, who will go? If you can give up, then you won’t achieve anything worthwhile. Eliminating all options but victory is the only way to get a weak mind to achieve what it wants. To me, at the heart of all successful human undertakings is the understanding that we are undertaking something very difficult or impossible. And then we look into each other’s eyes, shake hands with each other and swear that we will die, but we will not give up.
And it seemed to me that marriage was just such an agreement. It’s such a simple idea. No wonder they say at the ceremony: “Until death do us part.” Even the Lord agrees with me. This is not an oath to your partner – it is an oath to the weakest part of yourself. How can you not give up when you have that option?
The reason you say you’ll die if you don’t do it is because death is the direct result of not doing it. Consciousness tries to protect you from difficult things, from pain. But behind the pain and difficulties lies your dream. Consciousness, in search of pleasure, comfort and an easy life, inevitably poisons its own dream – consciousness becomes a barrier in front of your dreams, an internal enemy.
If it were easy, everyone would do it.
We take an oath because we know that a very difficult path lies before us. When you do something simple, no oath is needed. No one has ever said, “I swear to eat this whole pie! God knows, not a single crumb will remain on my plate! I also swear not to go jogging tomorrow morning! I swear to sleep more!”. If it were that simple, no one would take oaths. “In sickness and in health, until death do us part.” This oath is so terrible, because life is terrible. This is the whole point of devotion. I am not anti-divorce, and I don’t think it’s bad to give up the fight. I just think that this should happen at the very end, and not while you are just putting on the armor, not at the first difficulty, not after the first injury. In my opinion, most people get divorced too early, before they have learned important lessons that will help them not repeat past mistakes in future relationships.
I still don’t fully understand what I was thinking. Maybe it was the pain, the frenzy. Or maybe I didn’t think about anything at all. Maybe there was nothing to think about, everything was clear anyway. The guiding star is visible even through the fog.
On February 19, just five days after receiving the divorce papers, I called Jada. We haven’t seen her for many months. The phone has been ringing for ages.
Hello?
– Hey Jada! This is Will.
– Hello!
The magic of our meeting at the Baked Potato was still in her voice.
– How are you?
– Good. I heard your voice, and everything immediately became better.
Probably, I should have explained to her how I felt before, or somehow warned her.
— Are you dating anyone now? I asked her a tricky question.
Jada was silent for a while – either she was surprised, or she did not understand why I was asking.
– Actually, no. And what?
“Cool, then you will date me, huh?”
– Well, uh … Okay … Come on.
Jada felt that this was all for a reason, but she knew that at that moment it was not worth pulling the details out of me.
– Super. I’m at work right now, but I’ll call you later, okay?
– Okay.
I didn’t know then that Jada was in Baltimore. She was so tired and disillusioned with Hollywood that she dropped everything and returned home. In Maryland, she bought a beautiful two-hectare farm built at the turn of the century and started renovating it. She wanted to create a beautiful and peaceful life for herself.
After I called, she immediately went to the airport and flew to Los Angeles. She never spent a single night on her farm in Maryland.
I never believed in the idea of a “past life”. I’ve heard people say, “Yes, we must have been friends in a past life.” It seemed to me like some kind of stupidity. But those first few months with Jada made me question my own beliefs.
We were perfect for each other, and when we were together, it seemed that we were more like very old friends than just lovers. We understood each other without words, and everything we wanted to achieve was accomplished.
My divorce wasn’t over yet, so Jada and I thought it would be rude to advertise our relationship. After all, both of us have already become quite famous – what will people think? The beautiful, though not planned, consequence of this decision was that we spent all the time together, just me and her. Our bodies barely survived the crazy hurricane of love that we were in for the first three or four months of our relationship. We traveled to remote exotic corners of the world – Cape, private Caribbean islands, Aspen, secluded estates on Maui – this is how we discovered all the delights of private air travel. We booked into hotels under pseudonyms (I would tell you which ones, but we still use them). For four months straight, we drank cocktails every day and had sex several times a day. It even seemed to me that we were competing. There were only two options: either I will sexually satisfy this woman, or I will die trying.
But the main element of my relationship with her was and still is incredible, mind-expanding conversations. Even now, if Jada suddenly talks to me about something, we will chat for two hours, no less, or even five or six hours. Curiosity and reflection about the various mysteries of the universe through the prism of our personal experience is a real unbridled ecstasy. Even if we fundamentally disagree about something, for her and me in life there is nothing more valuable or enjoyable than the opportunity to morally grow and learn from each other through our enthusiastic communication.
Dzy-y-yn.
— Hello?
— Hello, dove.
– Hey, Gigi! How are you doing?
– Everything is fine with me. But you don’t want to tell me anything?
Gigi started with a leading question. I had no idea what she was up to. We usually didn’t communicate with her in such a tone. Obviously she had something on her mind.
“Yes, it seems not,” I answered cautiously, going over in my head everything that I could have done lately. – And should?
– Well, someone here told me that you had a new girlfriend for a long time.
Crap. Ellen, my sister…
– No, well, yes, that is …
— Do we have secrets from each other now? she asked, breaking through all my protective barriers.
— No, Gigi, I just. ..
“Someone told me she was an actress.
— Gigi. Someone is Ellen. Ellen is the only one who could tell you that.
My sister Ellen always knows everything. About every party, every rumor, every gossip – she is one of those girls who is always the first to tell you if something happened somewhere. If she had worked for the police, in the first week, crime would have fallen by forty percent. She always knows everything about everyone. It just so happens that Ellen is also a fan of Jada Pinkett – yes, she herself was, in fact, like the character of Jada named Peaches in the movie “Missing Millions”. She was very indignant that I was hiding Jada from my family, so she told my grandmother about me.
– Gigi, I’m not hiding anything…
“Then buy me a plane ticket and I’ll fly over to meet her.” Tomorrow.
– Okay, Gigi. I love you. See you tomorrow.
– And I love you.
The subsequent history has been a stumbling block for Jada and me for more than two decades. She is so scandalous that I even considered not mentioning her in this book. But I decided that you, my beloved reader, will be able to resolve our dispute once and for all. So please be impartial. In this dispute, you were chosen as the supreme judge. And so, Your Honor, the very question that you have to answer today: is this joke funny or not funny?
Gigi arrived in sunny Los Angeles early in the morning and immediately went to my house. I just bought a new place in Westlake Village – a neighborhood about an hour northwest of Los Angeles. We had breakfast with her, she liked the house very much. I knew that most of all she just wanted to make sure I was okay.
Jada had a job that day, and she was going to drop by to her place to preen herself, and then go to my place to meet with Gigi. Jada heard all the stories about Gigi that I have already told in this book, so she really wanted to get to know my grandmother as soon as possible.
Gigi didn’t really like movies, so she didn’t know who Jada Pinkett was. I decided to show her one of her most famous films.
At three o’clock in the afternoon, Jada called me from her home in Studio City, which was exactly forty-four minutes from mine, door to door.
“Baby, are you moving out already?” I asked.
“In about fifteen minutes,” Jada replied.
– Okay, we’re waiting for you. Love you.
Brotherhood was her most recent film at the time. This is a beautiful love story between Lyric played by Jada and Jason played by Allen Payne. At the sixty-third minute of that film, there is a very explicit scene with Jada, it has become one of the most famous sex scenes in all of African American cinema. When Jada said she was moving out in fifteen minutes, and then another forty-four minutes would be before me, I turned on the Bonds of Brotherhood cassette and left Gigi to watch.
Fifteen plus forty-four is fifty-nine minutes, and I prayed to the comedic gods that they would give her a little more delay in traffic or parking. I prepared everything for my prank to come true.
The comedic gods have been kind to me. Jada entered the room exactly sixty-three and a half minutes later. Gigi, calling on Jesus for help, watched on the screen how Jada and Allen rolled around on the grass with their bare asses up, just like their mother gave birth – they didn’t even have socks on.
Jada was taken aback. She looked in horror at Gigi, then at the screen. Again on Gigi. Then on me. Again on the screen. On Gigi. On me.
“Gigi, meet my new girlfriend Jada,” I said, almost falling over with laughter.
Gigi leaned back on the couch, folded her arms across her chest, and said:
— When I was young, people didn’t have to undress to act in films.
Jada managed a sad smile and hugged Gigi awkwardly.
“Will,” Jada said calmly, “can I talk to you alone?”
“Gigi, we’ll be right back,” I said.
Jada and I retired to the bedroom.
– WHAT. HERA. YOU. HERE. DONE?! she whispered.
“Baby, this is terribly funny.
— WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?!
– Baby, this is such a joke. Everything is fine. You and I will get married later, have children. There will be something to tell everyone! Yes, we will remember this story for years! That’s how you met my grandma. She will remember you forever! Well, it’s funny, isn’t it?…
— THIS IS NOT FUCKING FUNNY.
– Well, today you may not be funny, but …
— THIS WILL NEVER BE FUNNY! You show off too much.
“But the most important thing in life is memories!” I replied. “Now you are angry, but when you stop, I promise you, you will like it. It’s all for us! One day you will laugh at this story.
Eventually Gigi fell in love with Jada. There was a great relationship between them. Whole years of family happiness and laughter – their connection was simply priceless and became deeper with each meeting. And I firmly believe that my antics were the main factor that contributed to their incredible relationship.
But until now, Jada never even smiled in her entire life – she didn’t even giggle, remembering this joke. Never. So, ladies and gentlemen, distinguished jury, Your Honor, I’m asking you to pass judgment on me. If I was wrong, I will not challenge the court’s decision. But I feel obliged to finally ask this question, even if rhetorically, drawing a line: no, well, it’s funny, damn it?
<...>
My divorce was long, stupid and pointless. I didn’t take Quincy Jones’ advice. I bargained for every cent, disputed all the options offered. It’s amazing how quickly love can turn into a lawsuit. But four tedious months later, the final papers were drawn up, all that remained was to sign them.
Sheri and I hardly spoke at that time. And when she wanted to talk to me, I was even surprised.
“I’ve been going to a psychotherapist for several months,” she said. “I was trying to figure out how to make this whole process less painful for both of us. And I took a sober look at myself.
“Uh-huh,” I muttered, trying to figure out what it was all about.
“I realized that I didn’t do my best for our marriage. And you too. I understand that we are almost divorced, but you and I have a son. It seems to me that for his sake we must try to save the family.
I couldn’t believe my ears. And what should I do with it?
Jada and I love each other. But if I have a chance to save my family… How could I refuse? I replied that I needed to think.
Then I immediately called Jada and told her everything. She didn’t say a word in response. I heard that she was crying. She held back her sobs and tears as best she could, and that made it even more painful. Then she calmed down, pulled herself together. Cleared her throat.
And spoke:
Sheri is right. You must do everything so that the child lives in a loving family. I grew up without parents. I love you. And it’s very hard for me to say it. But I would never wish Trey such a fate. You and Sheri must resolve this situation.
I was struck by Jada’s selflessness, her willingness to give up her own happiness for what seemed right to her. Despite tears and a broken heart, she consoled herself with love and kindness.
