Watch: Jada Pinkett Smith and Willow Smith Open Up Over Their Attraction to Women
READ TIME: 2 MIN.
Jada Pinkett Smith and Willow Smith opened up about their attraction to women, People Magazine reports. "On Wednesday's episode of the Facebook Watch show 'Red Table Talk,' the mother-daughter duo discussed being attracted to women in a discussion with actress Niecy Nash."
On the show, EMN reported last week, Nash said she had "never been with a woman before" before marrying singer Jessica Betts last August.
In the mother-daughter talk, Pinkett-Smith recalled how she had told her mother, Adrienne Banfield-Norris, that a relationship with another woman wasn't for her. "I love being amongst women, but I never could connect to women romantically. But that's not to say that it couldn't be that. You just never know."
She continued: "I've had my fair share of, like, swooning and feeling like, oh my God, she's so beautiful. She's so talented, this and that," the Girls Trip actress continued. "I've swooned a lot, I will say that. I've had two times [when] I've been infatuated with a woman."
She also said that she could "see [Willow] falling in love with a woman one day."
Willow responded: "Yeah, I mean, I'm 20. I don't feel like I've been in love with a woman just yet. But I definitely feel like it could happen because I've had very strong feelings for women before." In June 2019, Willow revealed she loves "men and women equally" during a discussion on polyamorous romances, People wrote.
Adding, "I would definitely want one man and one woman," she continued. "I feel like I could be polyfidelitous with those two people. I'm not the kind of person that is constantly looking for new sexual experiences. I focus a lot on the emotional connection, and I feel like if I were to find two people of different genders that I really connected with and we had a romantic and sexual connection, I don't feel like I would feel the need to try to go find more."
"Jada also mentioned that Willow had previously suggested that if her marriage with Will didn't work out, Willow could see her mother having a relationship with another woman," reported BuzzFeed News.
The episode also hit upon a familiar topic for the series when Pinkett-Smith "addressed her relationship with musician August Alsina, 28, after he claimed during an interview with Angela Yee that he had an affair with the star after getting the 'blessing' of her husband Will," reported the Daily Mail. In an earlier episode, Will Smith said he never gave Alsina his blessing because he and Pinkett-Smith were separated at the time. But the revelation made the couple's split public. After Pinkett-Smith ended her relationship with Alsina, the couple reconciled.
