Will Smith may be one of the biggest stars in the world, but he too has had his fair share of reasons to be in the spotlight. From blockbuster films to some rather questionable behavior at the Oscars, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star has managed to give his fans many things to remember him by. Most recently, it has been his hilarious posts on social media. But in complete Ryan Reynolds and Blake Lively fashion, Smith surprised his followers by showing them a side of his they had not seen before.

Although the actor may be known for his extravagant surprise parties for his friends and family, his plans for his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith‘s 52nd birthday took a different route to her heart.

Will Smith’s cute throwback to Jada Pinkett Smith’s birthdays over the years

Recently, Will Smith took to his Instagram account to wish his wife of over twenty years, on her birthday. The post featured various pictures of Jada Pinkett Smith from the time she was twenty-seven years old. While the pictures were adorable, it was Smith’s caption that ended up stealing the spotlight. At the bottom of the post, the actor added, “Happy Birthday, Mamita! I’ve been to 28 of your birthday parties. (I don’t know if we’re ever gonna top the one that Rakim performed at… but here’s to a Lifetime of trying!)”

While that was enough to melt hearts, the actor also revealed pictures from every big birthday they had spent together. From her 30th (when Rakim performed) to her 50th, which was two years ago, the actor shared pictures that showed a more relaxed, enjoyable version of him and his wife. The photo dump also included her 40th surprise birthday party, which Pinkett-Smith was not very fond of at the time.

For the actress’s fortieth birthday, Will Smith went to great lengths to give her the best surprise party ever. But while the party may have gone off without a hitch, Jada Pinkett Smith did not have a great reaction to it.

Will Smith’s efforts for Jada’s 40th birthday

Back in 2019, Will Smith, who recently took up a surprising sport, revealed one of his lowest points on Red Table Talk. For Jada Pinkett Smith’s 40th birthday, the actor had planned the whole party for months and even got Mary J. Blige to perform. But after it all ended, his wife ended up calling the entire party “the most disgusting display of ego” that she had ever seen, which ended up leading to a rip-roaring fight.

It even led to a ten-year-old Willow Smith crying about her parents’ fight. But even though the party was not the biggest hit with his wife, it is evident that Will Smith has not given up on keeping the romantic spark alive. This certainly has fans wondering what he might post (or plan) for her birthday next.
