How Jada Pinkett Smith Cried on Wedding Day, ‘Never Wanted to Be Married’ to Will Smith

American actress, Jada Pinkett Smith has disclosed how she cried on her “horrible” wedding day and why she “never wanted to be married.”

Jada Pinkett Smith made the confession during an episode of Red Table Talk released on October 22, 2018, Jada sat down with husband Will, daughter Willow Smith, and her mother Adrienne Banfield-Jones, and openly admitted that she “never agreed with the construct of marriage” and still doesn’t.

The latest revelation comes amid huge speculation about the nature of Jada and Will’s relationship since the infamous Oscars slap moment on Sunday March 27. Will walked on stage during the 2022 Oscars and hit Chris Rock for a joke he told about Jada.

Reflecting back to their wedding day on December 31, 1997, Jada openly stated how she felt about becoming pregnant (with Jaden) and getting married.

During the episode of Red Table Talk, she said after finding out she was pregnant she, “cried all night long” because she didn’t want her life to change. “I really didn’t want to get married,” Jada said. Will added, “We only got married because Gammy [Banfield-Jones] was crying.”

During the discussion Jada reiterates several times that she never wanted to be married, while Banfield-Jones explains how strongly that she felt the two should be wed.

“I was under so much pressure, being a young actress, being young and pregnant,” Jada added, “I didn’t know what to do, but I just knew I never wanted to be married.”

She continued, “I didn’t want to get married, and now Gammy’s gone runnin’ to Will, cryin’ about how I don’t want to have a wedding, now I’m being forced to have a wedding when really I just wanted it to be the two of us [her and Will] on a mountain, because this is serious business.” Jada’s mother apologized for not respecting her wishes at that time.

Jada, Will and Banfield-Jones all recalled how “horrible” the wedding day itself was, partly due to the fact that Jada was three months pregnant at the time. Banfield-Jones said, “The wedding was horrible. It was a mess, Jada was sick, she was very unpleasant. When she was sick she didn’t cooperate.”

“I was so upset that I had to have a wedding. I was so p*****,” Jada said. “I went crying down the freakin’ aisle. I cried the whole way.” Meanwhile Will, who says all he’d wanted since the age of five was to get married and have a family, was excited on the wedding day.
