Jada’s post also included an old black-and-white photograph of her and Will Smith posing with their then-young children.

“On this Divine assignment we’ve chosen to walk together, I am grateful for the wells of laughter along the trails of tears we’ve shared,” she added. “Thank you for helping me learn to embrace it all … with a smile. Here’s to 100+ more birthdays full of growth, acceptance and joy.”

Jada and Will Smith were married in 1997 and have two children together, 25-year-old Jaden and 22-year-old Willow. Will also has a son, Trey, with his ex-wife Sheree Zampino.

The actor marked his birthday by recalling his experience of bungee jumping off a flying helicopter to celebrate turning 50.

“5 years ago today, somebody was trippin’!” Will wrote on Instagram alongside a video of the stunt.
