In 2020, Jada Pinkett Smith revealed on *Red Table Talk* that she had an “entanglement” — an affair — with singer August Alsina during a rough patch in her marriage with Will Smith. At the time, they said they were separated but later reconciled.

Recently, Jada confirmed they’ve actually been separated for seven years, which means the affair happened while they weren’t together. This surprised many fans, since the couple had kept the separation private for so long. The whole situation has sparked a lot of public discussion about their marriage.
