Will Smith says there's 'never' been infidelity in his marriage to Jada Pinkett Smith

• Will Smith spoke to Gayle King about his relationship with Jada Pinkett Smith.
• "There's never been infidelity in our marriage," Smith said, adding that they talk about "everything."

Will Smith clarified speculation about his dynamic with Jada Pinkett Smith, saying that they have not once experienced adultery in their 25-year union.

"There's never been infidelity in our marriage," Smith told Gayle King, who raised the issue in a new interview for "CBS News Sunday Morning," released on Sunday.

"Jada and I talk about everything," the "King Richard" star added. "And we have never surprised one another with anything, ever."

Also in the interview, King asked Smith, "How do you handle all the chatter about your marriage?"

In response, the Oscar-nominated actor said: "I have decided that chatter about my life can be of a benefit to people. I think that chatter is the first stage to having a real conversation, and being able to truly explore if some of the things in your heart are loving, or poisonous."

Smith first met Pinkett Smith in 1990 as the actress exited the casting office of "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," the hit sitcom that Smith starred on.

"It was love at first sight," Smith recalled in his self-titled memoir released in November.

After a brief interaction that day, the stars would cross paths occasionally. But Smith didn't pursue a relationship with Pinkett Smith because he was married to Sheree Zampino (from 1992 to 1995), with whom he welcomed a son named Trey Smith.

Smith and Pinkett Smith wed on December 31, 1997. They welcomed two children together: son Jaden Smith (born in July 1998) and daughter Willow Smith (born in October 2000).

Throughout their marriage, the stars have been vocal about how their relationship has evolved and why they don't refer to each other as married anymore.

In a 2020 episode of "Red Table Talk," Pinkett Smith's Facebook Watch show, the "Gotham" alum famously sat down with Smith and confirmed that she had a relationship with the musician August Alsina during a breakup in her marriage.

Pinkett Smith referred to her relationship with Alsina as an "entanglement" and didn't perceive it as a "transgression" in her marriage to Smith because they were separated at the time.

In a cover story for the November 2021 issue of GQ, Smith said that at one point in his marriage to Pinkett Smith, they decided that they would no longer be monogamous.

Smith said that Pinkett Smith "never believed in conventional marriage" and they had conversations about their relationship.

"For the large part of our relationship, monogamy was what we chose, not thinking of monogamy as the only relational perfection," he said.

"We have given each other trust and freedom, with the belief that everybody has to find their own way," Smith said, adding, "Marriage for us can't be a prison. And I don't suggest our road for anybody."

Smith's interviewer, Wesley Lowery, wrote in his GQ profile that the star "delicately explained" to him that Pinkett Smith wasn't "the only one engaging in other sexual relationships." However, Smith chose not to elaborate on his comment.
