Wilson Chapman editorCandle Media co-CEOs Kevin Mayer and Tom Staggs have been making waves in Hollywood for the past year as they hunt for content assets to acquire with the help of a bankroll from private executive giant Blackstone.The pair has mostly kept quiet about the venture, but Mayer sat down this month at the SXSW conference and festival in Austin, Texas, for a keynote session that featured his most expansive remarks to date on the new-model studio that he and Staggs are trying to build.In the conversation with MediaLink CEO Michael Kassan that was moderated by Variety co-editor-in-chief Cynthia Littleton, Mayer answered a number of key questions about how Candle Media intends to function — for one, it’s not a holding company nor an operating entity — and he detailed the vision for “social commerce” activity tied to such 360-media stars such as Reese Witherspoon, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. “We do have a vision for a modern creator economy business,” Mayer said.

bad boy is a good woman.Enter Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, one of Hollywood’s longest-lasting married couples.Marriage in Hollywood is very rarely easy. Many celebrity couples in the spotlight deal with a whirlwind of factors that end up tearing them apart.
Yet, finding a way to navigate this storm is something that can be done. Will, 53, has been one of the biggest stars in the world for decades — catapulted to iconic status from “The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.” His relationship with his wife, Jada, 50, has also been open to public scrutiny for quite some time — having gone through a separation, affair “entanglements” and, finally, the choice to reunite once again.
Living unapologetically and authentically has become increasingly important to them as they realized the media will pry into every area of their lives whether or not they want it to. Speaking publicly about battling addiction and exploring recreational drug use, as well as delving into their sex life and polyamory, the Smiths have taken ownership of their eccentric lifestyle without fear of what others have to say.
Happily now within an open marriage, the two have found a way to remain at the top of their game, living the life they wish to on the red carpet as well as privately. Shepherding their children — Jaden and Willow Smith — to be entirely free to explore life and sexuality, the pair are no longer bound by the fear of polarizing the media.
In fact, they appear to be the ones now pulling the strings! So what cosmic factors in their astrology have brought this fascinating relationship together and what lies ahead? Take a deep dive into their love story with me because I’m a pop culture astrologer and I can see it all.Will Smith was born on Sept. 25, 1968.
