Will Smith Explains His and Jada Having ‘Other Partners’

The actor gets candid on Apple TV+'s ‘The Oprah Conversation: Will Smith,’ now streaming.

Yesterday he snapped... All the years of betrayal and sadness locked within his soul which he has been masking all these while.

[DustySoulLtd]

The more I hear about their relationship the less I want to hear.

[thrillerstax]

That he would ruin his career over her eye roll is truly terrifying. The man needs serious help.

[sweetola]

It's like he's trying to convince himself that he's happy. You can be divorced and still be really cool friends. The kids are in their 20's. He can free himself from this bondage and find true love and peace.

[salmaal-shaoily]

This is why I never ever look at celebrities as "couple goals".

[desmondukay]

"Bad marriage for life." What a great affirmation. Bound to work out.

[osmanisildak]

So let me get this straight, will is cool about his wife sleeping other dudes but couldn’t handle a simple innocent joke… right, he lost his mind.

[Stew]

When Will cried at the Oscars after getting the award, you could see all pain and unhappiness coming forth.

[BattingBlueyes]

His smiles and laughter are just a front to hide the hurt.😢

[TheMyshine]

I think Will is more upset that Jada's side piece confirmed rumors about their marriage and now he feels forced to address it . He looks hurt (his image is being tarnished) ashamed, defeated, almost about to come to tears in these interviews. Damnit Jada why didn’t u make him sign NDA

[Queenie]

He can philosophize his current situation ad nauseam but he can not hide the heartache in his eyes every time he tries to convince us that he is okay when he is not.

[gimzoso]

Jada has trained him to respond exactly the way she wants him to. He's either brain-washed or masking his pain.

[Sleepgarden]

Oprah: did it hurt sitting there?
Will: no!

That's not what I saw. Man was on the verge of tears.

[essenced]

He sounds ridiculous. This is a prime example of sometimes it’s best to keep your private life private.

[maribelsaldana]

The slap he gave Chris was really for his wife

[detectivehawk]

I will translate this: “We are married but we both talk to other people on the side, and if while we are talking with another person and it becomes sexual, we do it as long as I tell my other half, then it’s ok. “
Just say you have an open marriage.

[blessngifted]

He's hurting no matter how much he laughs about it. You can see the pain.

[sillieww]

If Oprah was a good friend instead of exploiting Will, she should've told him right there and than to get out before something bad happens.

[Mngalahad]

Will straight up said it: "she had to make herself happy and i had to make myself happy".
"She decided she wanted to cheat but itd look bad if only she did it so i agreed to cheat too".

[Khali_Kaze]

After seeing Will Smith's reaction at the Oscar's I think it's safe to say that it is pure denial when he said Jada having other partners doesn't bother him...
