Actors Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith have been married for over 20 years, but their relationship has its ups and downs. The couple has been open about their past separation, which occurred several years ago, and recently discussed it publicly on Jada’s Facebook Watch series, Red Table Talk.

During the episode, the couple revealed that they had separated due to issues in their marriage that they could not resolve. Will admitted that he had felt “unfulfilled” and “unhappy” in their marriage while Jada had been struggling with her issues.

The couple also addressed rumors of infidelity, with Jada admitting that she had had a relationship with singer August Alsina during their separation. However, she clarified that Will had not given his “blessing” to the relationship and that it had occurred while they were separated.

The Smiths’ Non-Traditional Marriage

In addition to discussing their separation, Jada and Will also discussed their non-traditional marriage approach. The couple has been open about their decision to have an “open” marriage, allowing them to have relationships with other people outside their marriage.

While some have criticized their approach, Jada and Will have defended their decision, stating that it works for them and that they are committed to each other. They have also emphasized the importance of communication and honesty in their relationship.

The couple’s openness about their marriage has sparked a larger conversation about the nature of relationships and the idea of monogamy. While some have praised them for their honesty and willingness to challenge traditional norms, others have criticized them for promoting infidelity and undermining marriage.

Regardless of the criticism, Jada and Will have remained committed to each other and to their unconventional approach to marriage. Their openness and honesty about their relationship has inspired others to question their assumptions about love and commitment and to explore new ways of being in relationship with others.
