Hollywood A-lister Will Smith has told reporters that it is a “miracle” that he is still speaking to his wife, actor and musician Jada Pinkett Smith, after her affair with the singer August Alsina. 

In a candid exchange on Pinkett-Smith's Red Table Talk, the couple revealed previously hidden details surrounding their secretive split in 2015, as well as where their relationship stands today.

Discussing his wife’s affair with Alsina, 51-year-old Will declared:

"I wasn’t sure I was ever going to speak to you again. The fact that I’m speaking to you again is a miracle.

"[Marriage] ain’t for the weak at heart. There’s just certain things that you have to go through… I sure wish it could be all magic and miracles."

Discussing her doubts over whether the relationship could ever be repaired, Jada added:

“I’m just happy ‘cause I definitely believe that you and I, we never, ever, ever thought that we would make it back."

Revealing further details of the relationship with the 27-year-old “No Love” singer, Jada described her connection with Alsina as a “different kind of entanglement” to what she had experienced with her husband. 

Will, reflecting on the state of their marriage at that time, declared, "I was done with your ass. I was done with you,” before going on to add:

"Marriages have that though. We decided that we were going to separate for a period of time and you go figure out how to make yourself happy and I’ll try to figure out how to make myself happy. I really felt like we could be over."

Details of the superstar couple’s relationship have dominated the news cycle in recent weeks after Alsina claimed that he had received Will’s “blessing” before conducting the affair - a claim that has since been rubbished by the Smith’s.

The headlines have been plastered with pictures of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith since their explosive Red Table Talk aired on Facebook, and for good reason.

This is everything that we learned from the interview.

Jada revealed that she had an affair with singer-songwriter August Alsina, 27, during a period of separation.

She described the split, saying: "We decided we were going to separate for a period of time and you go figure out how to make yourself happy and I will go figure out how to make myself happy."

Jada added: "From there, as time went on, I got into a different kind of entanglement with August."

However, she used the interview as an opportunity to clear up previous reports in the media that she had gotten into a relationship with August with Will's permission.

This came after August said in a radio interview with The Breakfast Club that he had dated Jada while she was married to Will, but it was done with the full-knowledge and "blessing" of Will.

Jada clarified: "The only person who can give permission in that particular circumstance is myself".

But she said she understood why August "would perceive it as permission - because we were separated amicably".

"I think he also wanted to make it clear that he's not a homewrecker, which he's not," she said.

Details of the superstar couple’s relationship have dominated the news cycle in recent weeks after Alsina claimed that he had received Will’s “blessing” before conducting the affair - a claim that has since been rubbished by the Smith’s.

Following the explosive revelations, rumors began to circulate that Will had been romantically involved with actress Margot Robbie, 30.

Now, however, actress Margot Robbie's name has been trending, as fans thought Will also hinted that he'd been unfaithful when he said they had both "made mistakes without fear of losing" their family.

The pair worked together in the 2015 crime film Focus, with Will playing a con man who takes a young grifter (Margot) under his wing to pull off a major scam.

People took to Twitter to debate the subject, with one social media user writing: "Margot Robbie on top of Will Smith in the trending I mean, that's the story, isn't it?"

There is no confirmation that Margot was ever romantically involved with Will.

Jada said that she was ultimately in a relationship with August for around four years, but the pair are no longer in contact.

Will Smith took to Instagram to seemingly poke fun at his "crushing" year following his wife Jada Pinket Smith's cheating scandal.

The 51-year-old actor made himself the butt of the joke a week after his wife spoke openly about her "entanglement" with 28-year-old singer August Alsina during an episode of Facebook Watch's Red Table Talk.

The father-of-two implied that he's had a "crushing" 2020 so far when he posted a video that shows him nearly being hit by a falling television screen.

In the clip, Will initially describes himself as a "team player" as he urged a man to hurl the TV from the building towards him. But the moment that Will turns his back, the man proceeds to chuck the TV screen in the box straight towards him.

"ME... 2020," he captioned the post.

Details of the superstar couple’s relationship have dominated the news cycle in recent weeks after Alsina claimed that he had received Will’s “blessing” before conducting the affair - a claim that has since been rubbished by the Smiths.

It wouldn't be too much of a reach to suggest that the last few weeks have been somewhat turbulent for Will Smith and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.

Earlier this month, singer/songwriter August Alsina stunned fans when he claimed that Will had given his "blessing" for Alsina and Jada Pinkett Smith to enter into a relationship.

Watch Jada Pinkett Smith break down in tears apologizing to Will Smith's ex-wife:

"I actually sat down with Will and had a conversation [...] He gave me his blessing," Alsina said.

"I totally gave myself to that relationship for years of my life, and I truly and really, really, deeply loved and have a ton of love for her (Jada). I devoted myself to it. I gave my full self to it. So much so that I can die right now, and be OK knowing that I fully gave myself to somebody ... Some people never get that in this lifetime."

Will and Jada later denied this during an astonishingly candid installment of their Facebook Watch show, Red Table Talk.

Discussing his wife’s affair with Alsina, 51-year-old Will said:

"I wasn’t sure I was ever going to speak to you again. The fact that I’m speaking to you again is a miracle.

"[Marriage] ain’t for the weak at heart. There’s just certain things that you have to go through… I sure wish it could be all magic and miracles."

It was also during this interview that Jada Pinkett Smith used the now-infamous phrase, a “different kind of entanglement” to describe her relationship with August Alsina.

Fans immediately seized on the phrase, which has since passed into celebrity folklore. And now, Will Smith has engaged with a commenter on his Instagram page, who made a joke underneath a video that the actor posted.

Will posted a video of himself using a jump rope, with a camera attached to the rope. Naturally, after a few jumps, the actor took a tumble. Cue the 'entanglement' jokes...

“Ok don’t get entangled,” wrote one commenter. And to his credit, Will took the joke in his stride. “Hahaha…Okay…I can admit it. That’s funny! I’m definitely gonna block you. But the joke was Very Funny!”

Will had previously taken to Instagram to joke about the "crushing" year he's endured thus far.

"ME... 2020," he captioned the post.

In a preview for Monday's episode of Red Table Talk co-host Jada Pinkett Smith confronts her husband Will Smith about his consumption of alcohol. And it gets just a little bit tense.

"How often are you drinking alcohol?" Jada asks Will, to which the 48-year-old actor replies: "That's my personal business, Jada."

"I respect that it's your show, but at the end of the day, this is a house that we share," he adds and Jada agrees, saying: "I know, I get it."

Take a look at the fascinating interaction here:

Also at the table were the couple's two children Jaden, 21, and Willow, 18 and Will's 26-year-old son, Trey, from a previous relationship.

Will admits to his family that he probably went a bit overboard while celebrating Jaden's 21st birthday back in July. And the famous family proceed to make fun of their dad's drunken antics - all in good fun, of course.

"On vacation time...it was a lot," Will says as they laugh. "'Cause it's in front of my kids, it's like now I'm being a bad parent."

In response to the original question, the Aladdin star then admits that he has "one or two a week".

Will has actually been fairly open about his relationship with alcohol in recent months. In March, in fact, Will said he "didn't drink for over a decade" when he was preparing for a half-marathon.

"I think of all the bucket lists, this is the one I'm most concerned about," Will said on his Facebook Watch series, "Bucket List".

"Like, in my deepest honesty with myself, I really am not sure if I can run 13 miles," he continued. "Being this far out of shape is kind of a little bit new for me. I didn't drink for over a decade."

Will continued: "During my rise as a movie star, I was, like, wildly disciplined, so being in this place in my life, even something as simple as taking my shirt off while I'm out of shape, like, you know, this for me now allowing myself to be seen less than optimally is new."
