Will Smith’s wife Jada Pinkett Smith certainly had her doubts about marrying a divorced man who had a son already. It has been noted that she also had issues with Will Smith’s ex-wife, Sheree Zampino at first.
In a first, Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith’s ex-wife Sheree Zampino sat down to discuss their relationship in an interview on the popular podcast Red Table Talks. While things have turned out to be way better now, both decided to accept that their relationship started on the wrong foot.
It was a remarkable moment when Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith‘s ex-wife Sheree Zampino sat down together and talked about their gradual enemies-to-friends relationship.
Smith accepted that their relationship hadn’t been smooth since the beginning and they had hit numerous rough patches over the years. Despite it all, they had grown to respect each other and developed an unusual relationship cum friendship.
While they have always appeared to be one big family, Smith accepted she never did understand marriage or even divorce.
“I didn’t understand divorce. I will say that I probably should have fell back.”
She also admitted to Zampino that because she was so naive, she didn’t understand divorce and thought that Will Smith and Sheree Zampino’s divorce meant that their relationship was completely done.
“When Will and I first started dating, I had this thing in mind. I was like, ‘Well you did that, and that’s done.’ ”
The realization that their relationship was not done and that they continued to maintain contact for the sake of their son Trey was devastating to Pinkett since she didn’t know how to go on from there. Fortunately, motherhood and co-parenting allowed them to reach a middle ground.
