During the latest episode of Jada Pinkett Smith’s Facebook series, “Red Table Talk,” “Becoming Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” the actress sat down with Husband Will as her guest as well as cohosts, mother Adrienne Banfield-Jones and her daughter Willow Smith.
Jada gave us the scoop on a lot of things surrounding her relationship with Will. While speaking about the beginning of the couple’s relationship Pinkett said “It was a horrible wedding,” of their 97’ nuptials. Her mom agreed, saying the ceremony “was a mess” and that Jada “was sick” and “very unpleasant.” At the time, Pinkett was three months pregnant with Jaden. She says when she realized that she was pregnant, she cried the “whole night” because she felt pressured by her mom to get married and not have a child out of wedlock. Will disagreed, saying he had the opposite reaction and couldn’t have been happier to marry his now wife. “There wasn’t a day in my life that I wanted anything other than being married and having a family,” he said. “Literally 5 years old, I was picturing what my family would be.”
Jada also claims Will isn’t the only The Fresh Prince star she has dated. She says before Alfonso Ribeiro who played Carlton, helped the couple meet, he and the actress went out first. “I actually think I dated Alfonso, I think I went one date together.” Ribeiro addresses the comment on Twitter, and says he remembers something different.
I believe @alfonso_ribeiro and I went on one date. Before I was even on A Different World 😜

Will also talked about they day he was supposed to meet Jada on the set of her show Different World. He apparently went to set with the intention not meet her, but fate clearly had a different plan. The actor says, “I went to Different World to meet Jada but met Sheree [Sheree Zampino his first wife] and ended up marrying Sheree and having Trey with Sheree.” The two eventually met later of course and waited to pursue a relationship until after his divorce, they are clear that there was no affair while Will and Sheree were still married.
Many people have also heard some of the long standing rumors surrounding their relationship where people have claimed that they are swingers and Scientologists, they also address all this and MORE in the full episode. Watch it below:
