Online users thought Smith’s new snap to be a publicity stunt as a result of his complicated relationship with his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, and his ex-wife, Sheree Zampino, whom the actor was still married to when he met Jada back in the ’90s.
In a 2022 Red Table Talkepisodefeaturing Zampino, Jada admitted that her nuptials were “too soon” after Will’s divorce from his first wife.
“Trying to have a blended family and not really having a blueprint of that. We really had to figure it out along the way,” she shared.
“For me, it was really about maturity. Just not understanding the marital dynamic, like, ‘OK, the divorce papers are sent, and people are over it, and this is done.’”
She then clarified that it is “never done,” as the families would always be intertwined. “So that was my biggest misconception, in that this woman is a part of this family. It’s like not only taking on Trey, but Sheree was coming along too as part of the package,” she said.
