 Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have been living together again for the past two years, according to a source. The couple, who have been married since 1997, resumed sharing a home after previously living separately for several years. “Jada moved back in with Will two years ago,” the insider told PEOPLE. “They are happy and love each other and are, as ever, committed to supporting each other.” In 2023, Jada revealed that she and Will had been separated since 2016. A source later told PEOPLE that the pair remained together while maintaining separate homes. The couple recently appeared together publicly during Paris Fashion Week in support of their son Jaden Smith.  Will and Jada attended the Christian Louboutin Menswear Spring/Summer 2027 show on June 24, posing on the red carpet with Jaden, their daughter Willow Smith, Will’s son Trey Smith, and Jada’s mother, Adrienne Banfield-Norris.

FRANCE WITHDRAWS DIPLOMATS FROM BURKINA FASO. (PHOTO).


 France withdraws diplomats from Burkina Faso


France has withdrawn all of its diplomats from Burkina Faso after Burkina Faso announced an end to diplomatic ties with its former colonial ruler.


AFP quoted the French Foreign Ministry on 6 July as saying Burkina Faso’s chargé d’affaires in Paris had also been summoned and informed that Burkinabè diplomatic staff had until the evening of Monday 6 July to leave France.


It said all French diplomats in Burkina Faso returned to France "late last week".


The move by France comes after Ouagadougou cut diplomatic ties with Paris, accusing the former colonial ruler of violating its sovereignty over security issues and not observing the principles of "mutual respect", TRT Afrika reported.


Allegations against France


Burkina Faso’s Communications Minister, Gilbert Ouédraogo, had said on 26 June that France was supporting "subversive networks" and "terrorists" in the West African country, an accusation Paris described as "unfounded".


So, what does ending diplomatic ties actually mean?


Put simply, it means the two governments are no longer dealing directly with one another.


Embassies close, diplomats leave, official government communication largely stops, and services such as visa processing become more difficult.


The latest development did not come out of nowhere.


Historical relations


Burkina Faso gained independence from France in 1960, and for decades, the two countries had maintained good relations.


However, everything began to change when Captain Ibrahim Traoré took power in 2022. His administration started pursuing a pan-African agenda and asserting national sovereignty.


It particularly accused France of economic exploitation and a neocolonial attitude.


Anti-French sentiment has also been building for years, with thousands of Burkinabè taking part in protests calling for the withdrawal of French troops and an end to France's interference in the country’s affairs.


Traoré made those demands a government policy. French forces left in 2023, military agreements were cancelled, some French diplomats were expelled in 2024, and on 26 June 2026, Burkina Faso formally severed diplomatic ties with France.


At the same time, neighbouring Mali and Niger have also severed ties with France.
