After taking a week to build the table from scratch, apparently, Jada Pinkett Smith appeared on her own Facebook Watch show Red Table Talk to confirm some of the rumors that have been circulating about an extramarital relationship with R&B singer August Alsina. Alsina himself revealed the relationship in an interview with Complex earlier this month, saying that Will Smith gave him `his blessing` to date Pinkett Smith, implying that they have an open marriage.

Smith described the split, saying: "We decided we were going to separate for a period of time and you go figure out how to make yourself happy and I will go figure out how to make myself happy."

Pinkett Smith added: "From there, as time went on, I got into a different kind of entanglement with August."

The 48-year-old actress also said she wanted "to clear up" reports that Smith, 51, had given her "permission" to stray.

In a radio interview with The Breakfast Club, Alsina had confirmed that he and Pinkett Smith dated during the marriage and said it was with the full-knowledge and "blessing" of Smith - leading to speculation the couple were in an open marriage.

Pinkett Smith clarified: "The only person who can give permission in that particular circumstance is myself".
