Jada Pinkett Smith denies Marc Anthony affair

By Alexandra Heilbron on August 24, 2011 | 13 Comments


Jada Pinkett Smith is denying that she had an affair with co-star Marc Anthony. Anthony, who is currently separated from wife Jennifer Lopez, joined Jada’s TV series Hawthorne last year as her love interest. Just hours after Jada put a stop to that rumor, her husband, Will Smith, addressed the In Touch Weekly report saying that they had separated. A statement to the press released via his publicist read: “Although we are reluctant to respond to these types of press reports, the rumors circulating about our relationship are completely false. We are still together, and our marriage is intact.” Jada’s spokesperson, Karynne Tencer, said, “All the rumors regarding Marc Anthony and Jada are false. Completely untrue. As for Will and Jada, I’m not commenting on their personal life.” Will’s son from his first marriage, Trey, tweeted yesterday after the news broke: “Will and Jada getting a DIVORCE .. NOT TRUE AT ALL !! RETWEET!”

    what would be the big surprise if she did have an affair ? i mean after after all it does even happen among the rich and famous

    Yeah, there’s a huge buzz that their marriage is in trouble, and that would explain why JLo left Marc Anthony.

    I think this is a scramble to sell trashy papers in a slow times! I’m sure if Jada was going to have an affair it would be with someone way hotter than Marc Anthony! She is so classy and hot she doesn’t need to be scooping up JLO’s trash…….

    Separation is shocking in the first place when they never gave indication of troubles. Hell the BOTH always praised their relationship towards each other as a model that others should follow. But yeah, public and closed doors are two different things.
    Too bad, and if he goes single again, I’m sure he will rule the box office even more and have the hottest ladies all over him.

    @janet: how classy could jada be when will smith was already married when he hooked up with her?? that makes both of them trashy!

    There were rumors a couple of years ago and it came out that they had an open marriage….so they do this all the time to each other

    It would be sad if it were true, but these types of rumours get denied and then end up coming true. I hope that’s not the case here. I thought they were a great couple. And Marc over Will – that’s just crazy talk, Marc is creepy.

    I also heard that they have an open marriage.

    Will on open marriage: “Our perspective is, you don’t avoid what’s natural. You’re going to be attracted to people. In our marriage vows, we didn’t say ‘forsaking all others.’ The vow that we made was that you will never hear that I did something after the fact. If it came down to it, then one spouse can say to the other, ‘Look, I need to have sex with somebody. I’m not going to if you don’t approve of it – but please approve of it.'”

    Most relationships do not work out, so what is the surprise? Either this is news for “slow times” at the paper, or there is truth to this and it will eventually be revealed. No pun intended. Whatever! My bubble bath right now is WAY more important! Just checking e-mails every few days, otherwise the “net” is a waste of time. Getting it cut off. Yeah! I prefer the local news. Old school is great! I feel sorry for the people of the new generation. Did not have the basics. Am 51.
