Pinkett Smith & Alsina Had a Relationship When She & Will Smith Split

After dancing around the rumor for years, Pinkett Smith confirmed that she and Alsina were together, saying that the relationship occurred when she and her husband were contemplating splitting.

“I was done with yo a–. I was done with you,” Will Smith said during the discussion. “Marriages have that though.”

The Smiths have been married since 1997 and have two children together: 22-year-old Jaden and 19-year-old Willow. Will Smith is also the father of 27-year-old Trey, who he had during a previous relationship.

Even though they were going through a tough time, Pinkett Smith said there was never any secrets in her marriage. “I feel like there are a lot of couples that go through those periods. And a lot of couples that separate and think it’s over. One thing I’ll say about you and I is that there’s never been secrets,” she said.

Alsina Said Will Smith Gave Him Permission To Be with Pinkett Smith

The Smiths were essentially forced to address Jada’s relationship with Alsina after he sat down for an interview with radio host Angela Yee where he opened up about being with the famous actress. He wanted people to know that Will Smith gave him his blessing.

“I actually sat down with Will and had a conversation,” Alsina told Yee. “Due to the transformation from their marriage to (a) life partnership that they have spoken on several times, and not involving romanticism, he gave me his blessing.”

During her Red Table Talk, Pinkett Smith scoffed at the idea that Will Smith gave Alsina permission. “The only person that can give permission in that particular circumstance is myself,” she said. “I could actually see how he would perceive it as permission because we were separated amicably and I think he also wanted to make it clear that he’s also not a homewrecker. Which he’s not.”

During the same discussion, Pinkett Smith explained that she originally befriended Alsina to help him with his mental health after meeting the singer through her son. Their relationship later blossomed and became romantic.
