Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith's marriage was flung into the spotlight once again this week, after Rebel Wilson poked fun at their relationship during the 2022 BAFTAs last weekend.
The Australian actress made a dig at Will and Jada's marriage after Will, 53, won Best Film Actor in a Leading Role for his performance in King Richard.
"I thought his best performance over the past year was being OK with all his wife’s boyfriends," she said.

But speaking after the event, Will decided to set the record straight, and told CBS Sunday Morning that there had 'never been infidelity' in his marriage.
"Jada and I talk about everything. We have never surprised one another with anything ever," he explained.
In 2020, during an episode of Jada's Facebook show Red Table Talk, Jada, 50, confirmed she had an ‘entanglement’ with R&B singer August Alsina, explaining the spouses were separated at the time.
Meanwhile last year, Will confirmed that he had also had a relationship with another woman during his marriage - confirming the pair actually have an open marriage.

He told GQ: "Jada never believed in conventional marriage.
"Jada had family members that had an unconventional relationship. So she grew up in a way that was very different than how I grew up.
"There were significant endless discussions about, what is relational perfection? What is the perfect way to interact as a couple? And for the large part of our relationship, monogamy was what we chose, not thinking of monogamy as the only relational perfection."

Since Will set the record straight this week, some fans have been confused over his claims there had 'never been infidelity' in his marriage.
"Is that because they agreed they could have outside relationships?" One wrote.
While another said: "Will, google the word entanglement and take a well deserved nap."
"Just because you're honest about cheating don't change the fact that you cheated. Or as Jada put it 'entanglements'," added another.

Many fans were quick to defend the couple, however, pointing out that they had already stated they were separated at the time, and have an open marriage.
"No infidelity if you're open," said one.
