Jada Pinkett-smith Turns 40 Today

  • 18 September 2011

Jada Pinkett-Smith celebrates her 40th birthday (18/9,) just two days after Marc Anthony - who she's been intrinsically linked with over the last few months - had his own.
Born in Baltimore on this day in 1971, the wife of Will Smith has packed a lot into her life thus far, including acting, music, politics and charity work. It's unclear how she's going to celebrate the day, but after the recent trials and tribulations of her marriage, which has seen her first forced to deny that she and Smith are to divorce, and then that she and Anthony were reportedly involved in an affair, it wouldn't be surprising if she was planning to use it to spend some much needed alone time with her husband.
Marc Anthony celebrated his 43rd birthday on Friday, with the star being brought to tears at his concert that evening in Miami. Alongside the Pinkett-Smith allegations, Anthony's faced his own issues over the past year with divorce from wife Jennifer Lopez. People said that he was visibly moved as a sold-out crowd sang 'Happy Birthday' to him when he walked onstage, causing him to drop to his knees and cry in thanks. Earlier this week The Press Association had reported that he and Will Smith took in an American Football game together in order to hush the rumours of an on-set affair with the latter's wife during the filming of the now-axed show 'Hawthorne.'
