All eyes were on Will Smith during award season 2022.
“To make matters worse, during shooting I fell in love with Stockard Channing.”
Was it a cosmic interaction?
Was it love at first sight?
For Will, yes, but Jada had other thoughts on the matter.
“She was pissed,” Will wrote in his autobiography (viaInsider).
While Jada was disappointed professionally, Will was head over heels.
“That was the first time I ever saw Jada Pinkett,” he recalled.
“It was love at first sight.”
I went back out, sat down with Sheree and started going back on with my life."
In 1995, Will and Sheree did wind up getting a divorce.
However, their wedding was anything but a magical experience.
Jada revealed that she was “crying down the freaking aisle.”
I never wanted to be married."
“The wedding was horrible,” Banfield-Norris said.
“It was a mess.
Jada was sick, she was very unpleasant.
… She didn’t cooperate with anything.”
Jada sat down withHuffPostto clarify the details, but her statements may leave you with more questions than answers.
“Because at the end of the day, Will is his own man.
I’m here as his partner, but he is his own man.
He has to decide who he wants to be and that’s not for me to do for him.
Or vice versa.”
Jada went onHoward Stern’s radio showto dish about her relationship and the dynamic she shared with her husband.
“You’ve got to trust who you’re with.
“I’m not [Will’s] watcher.
He’s a grown man.
Here’s what I trust I trust that the man that Will is, is the man of integrity.
So, he’s got all the freedom in the world.”
When asked if Will told her about his crushes, Jada didn’t mince her words.
“You have to!”
I’m just not that girl.
It’s just not realistic.”
“Under normal circumstances, I don’t usually respond to foolishness.
I can be foolish, too!'”
Will wrote in the public post.
Calling his wife his “Queen,” he wrapped up his post promising his followers his honesty.
“I was done with you,” Will admitted to Jada during the episode (viaUs Weekly).
I really felt like we could be over."
To that, Jada responded, “We were over.”
“I definitely realized that you could’t find happiness outside of yourself,” she shared.
As noted byVulture, Jada and Alsina first crossed paths due to “The Matrix” star’s children.
From there, Alsina definitely circulated around Jada’s inner circle.
We’ll let his words do the talking.
“We don’t even say we’re married anymore,” Will said (viaRap-Up).
There’s no deal breakers.
There’s nothing she could do ever.
Nothing that would break our relationship.
She has my support till death and it feels so good to get to that space."
News that her early relationship with Will was not easy.
“He was in the middle of a divorce!
I would not suggest anybody do that.”
“There were significant endless discussions about, what is relational perfection?
What is the perfect way to interact as a couple?
And marriage for us can’t be a prison.”
