Back in the day, Jada Pinkett Smith met a hot young actor named Will Smith. Following their meeting multiple times. Speaking with People, Jada recalled when Will got divorced from his first wife Sheree Zampino — he called Jada and asked, “Who are you going out with?” Replying that she was single, Will declared: “Well, you’re going out with me now.”
Laughing at the recollection, Jada says, “Can you believe I fell for that?”
In 2020, their marriage was subject to further fan discussion when R&B singer August Alsina claimed to have had a secret relationship with Jada.
Alsina said Will gave him and Jada his “blessing”, adding: “I actually sat down with Will and had a conversation due to the transformation from their marriage to life partnership that they’ve spoken on several times and it not involving romanticism.”
Alsina added he “totally gave myself to that relationship for years of my life and I truly and really, really deeply loved and have a ton of love for her.”
Representatives for Jada denied Alsina’s claims soon after they emerged. Two weeks later, Jada and Will appeared on Jada’s Facebook Live talk show Red Table Talk to discuss the topic.
While Jada admitted to having had a relationship with Alsina, she clarified that she and Will had been separated at the time.
