Mr. and Mrs. Smith's Open Marriage: Rapper August Alsina Reveals Affair with Will Smith's Wife

One of Hollywood's most famous families has made the tabloid front pages.

Rapper and R&B singer August Alsina has said that he had a long-term affair with actress Jada Pinkett Smith, wife of another Hollywood star, Will Smith.

In an interview with Angela Lee of The Breakfast Club, the 27-year-old Alsina admitted that he was in a relationship with Pinkett Smith (“The Matrix Reloaded,” “The Matrix Revolutions,” “Scream 2”) with her husband's permission.

“Actually, I had a conversation with Will, — said the rapper, who is currently promoting his new album The Product III: stateofEMERGEncy. — He gave me his blessing because their marriage transformed into a lifelong partnership without romantic relationships, which they have talked about many times.”

Alsina also added that the affair with the 48-year-old actress lasted for more than one year: “I gave myself fully to this relationship for many years of my life. I am truly loved, and I gave her tons of my own love. I dedicated myself to this.”

With this statement, Alsina confirmed rumours that one of the most famous Hollywood couples is in an open relationship.

In 2017 the young musician accompanied Pinkett Smith to the BET Awards. The two had been introduced two years earlier by Jada and Will's son Jaden, who, in addition to his film career, has had some success trying his hand at music.

Last year Alsina fanned the flames of speculation about the unusual nature of the celebrity family's relationship by releasing a track called “Nunya.” In it, the singer talks about a woman who “puts on a show without wanting the world to know everything,” and the whole thing is accompanied by correspondence with someone called “Koren,” which is Pinkett Smith's middle name.

The actress's representatives have already denied Alsina's claims, saying they are “absolutely false.” Jada herself, however, is in no hurry to dot the i's — in a tweet published on Wednesday she said she needed time to heal her wounds and promised to reveal the truth “at the red table.”

The “red table” refers to her Facebook show “Red Table Talk,” which she hosts at home with her daughter Willow, her mother Adrienne Banfield-Norris and invited guests.

Jada Pinkett Smith has been married to Will Smith since 1997. Together they are raising three children: Jaden, Willow, and Will Smith's son Trey from his first marriage.
