While they haven’t officially divorced, their relationship dynamics have evidently shifted.
The “Red Table Talk” Revelation
Jada Pinkett Smith’s show, “Red Table Talk,” has been a platform for many personal revelations. It was here that Jada introduced the term “entanglement” to describe her relationship with singer August Alsina. This revelation shocked fans worldwide and shed light on the complexities of the Smiths’ marriage.
The Oscars 2022 Incident
The recent Oscars brought the couple back into the spotlight, but not for the reasons one might expect. Will’s defense of Jada against a joke made by Chris Rock was the talk of the town.
