Will Smith Walks 2025 Grammys Red Carpet Alone Amid Marriage Speculation

Will Smith made a striking solo appearance at the 2025 Grammy Awards on Sunday night, following recent revelations about his complex marriage with Jada Pinkett Smith. The I Am Legend star walked the red carpet at the Crypto.com Arena without his wife, fueling ongoing speculation about the couple’s relationship status.

Smith’s Grammys appearance marked nearly three years since his infamous Oscars incident in 2022 when he slapped comedian Chris Rock on stage. The actor, who has a long history with the Grammys, previously won four awards, including his first in 1989 for Parents Just Don’t Understand alongside DJ Jazzy Jeff. He later secured wins for Summertime, Gettin’ Jiggy Wit It, and Men in Black.

Despite walking the red carpet alone, multiple reports suggest that Smith and Pinkett Smith remain legally married but have been living separate lives for several years. While the couple has publicly acknowledged their unconventional relationship, a source told The Sun that financial and business considerations may be a major reason they have not officially divorced.

“They’re still together on paper, but at this point, the talk is that it’s more of a business arrangement than an emotional connection,” the insider claimed.

The source further explained that the couple’s intertwined financial ventures complicate any potential legal separation. “The two companies these stars are attached to serve as a vehicle for most of their money-making endeavors, and it would most likely need to be split up or totally revamped if they were to put a formal end to the marriage.”

According to the insider, these logistical challenges have played a significant role in their decision to maintain their current arrangement. “It’s been more convenient for them to keep the status quo and do their own things in different places for the better part of five years,” the source added.

While Smith and Pinkett Smith have not publicly commented on the latest reports, their relationship has long been a subject of media scrutiny. In October 2023, Pinkett Smith revealed in her memoir that the couple had been separated since 2016 but chose to remain legally married.

As Smith celebrated music’s biggest night, fans and industry insiders continued to speculate about the future of his marriage. However, with his focus on his career and public appearances, the actor seems determined to keep personal matters private—at least for now.
