Willow Smith has broken her silence on her mother's self-ascribed "entanglement" with singer/songwriter August Alsina in a new episode of Red Table Talk.

Earlier this year, it was revealed that Jada had entered into an affair with Alsina.

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."

And now, daughter Willow Smith has had her say on how the whole thing played out earlier this year. "I want to put it on the table. I’m so proud of you," Willow said of her mother, per Metro. ‘To be able to see you and Dad do that, for me, that was like, ‘OK, that’s the real deal. That’s real love.

"Like, when you can be like, “I’m with you. I’m going to stand by you and I’m going to hold your hand”… that’s really important," she continued.

For his own part, Will Smith has said that it is a "miracle" that he is still speaking to his wife, actor and musician Jada Pinkett Smith, after her affair. 

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 earlier this year, 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."
