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."
Jada Pinkett Smith confronts Will Smith over alcohol use in 'Red Table Talk':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.
