Will Smith: Who is August Alsina, Jada Pinkett Smith's lover?

Jada Pinkett Smith was once unfaithful to Will Smith. In 2020, Tupac's ex decided to reveal the details of her affair on her famous show titled Red Table Talk, while looking Will Smith in the eyes.

Jada Pinkett Smith details her experiences

Will Smith is currently in trouble for slapping and insulting Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars, but Jada Pinkett was also at the centre of a scandal a few years ago.

It all started in 2016 when her son Jaden introduced his mother to a friend, August Alsina (then 23), who was very ill at the time. The actress explained:

He just needed help, and I wanted to help him maintain his physical and mental health.

Looking at her husband’s face, Jada Pinkett Smith goes further:

We had found all the resources we needed to save him. After that, our marriage went through a rough patch.

While they were ‘taking time off’, 46-year-old Jada Pinkett Smith and August Alsina began a love affair. To this day, no one can figure out if Will Smith knew about it and was okay with it.

Jada said:

The only person who can give me permission under these circumstances is myself.

The relationship lasted for some time before Willow and Jaden's mother got back together with the actor from King Richard.

Who is August Alsina, Jada's ex-lover and friend of Jaden Smith?

I was in a lot of pain and really broken. During the relationship, I realised that you can only find happiness within yourself.

Today, Jada and Will are lovers again and underwent couples therapy. The reason they were forced to talk about it publicly was that Augustin Alsina bragged in the media about having slept with Jada Pinkett Smith.

The now 29-year-old is an American rapper and singer who is ultimately very unknown in the music world. This is probably why he continues to ride the buzz of his relationship with the actress.

According to The Sun, August Alsina has decided to make a profit from the affair. According to an acquaintance, he is preparing to publish a book about his affair with Will Smith's wife.
