Jada Pinkett Smith was supported by her family as she returned to her native Baltimore to give a book talk.

The Hollywood star headed to the Enoch Pratt Free Library to address the crowd on Wednesday. Attendees got a special treat when her superstar husband Will Smith and their children Jaden and Willow as well as Will's son Trey from another marriage all turned out to support her according to The Baltimore Banner.

The audience cheered loudly as Jada's famous family all joined her on the stage. The whole clan were reportedly in town to help celebrate Jada's mum Adrienne Banfield-Norris' 70th birthday.

Jada, 52, reportedly said: "I guess the talk's over," before Oscar winner Will took over the mic to heap praise on her for thirteen minutes. He said: "I just really wanted to come out and just be here and hold it down for you the way you have held it down for me."

He elaborated further as he gave Jada credit for his long and successful career stating that his dreams "were largely built on the foundation of Jada's sacrifices." He said: "I have achieved every single thing I have ever wanted in my entire life. There is not one thing left that I desire in this world - all of the awards, all of the money, the family - everything I've ever dreamed."

Jada has been busy promoting her new book Worthy and has made some bombshell revelations in the last week - including that she and Will have been separated since 2016 and are "figuring it out." She said: "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."

Will reportedly described their relationship as a "sloppy public experiment in unconditional love," during his speech at the library. Earlier in the day Jada gave a speech at the Baltimore School for the Arts she attended in her youth which she graduated from in 1989.

Jada attended the school alongside her famous classmate and good friend Tupac Shakur. She has spoken out in detail about her close friendship with Tupac for the first time in Worthy. Last week she admitted to Rolling Out: "If there is such a thing as past lives, I definitely think that Pac and I have traveled a few together."
