Will, 53 married Jada, 50, in 1997 and openly spoke about the ups and downs of their marriage with her on their viral Red Table Talk show last year.
The shocking candidness was roasted by the Pose actress at the February 27th SAG awards.
“We love you,” the Orange Is The New Black star exclaimed while interviewing the couple at the pre-show.
“Thank you for all the years of joy you’ve brought us. We can’t wait for more Red Table Talk and more entanglements.”
The reference to Jada’s extra-marital affair, which she confirmed in 2020, saw the married couple turn red as a result.
“No more of those,” the Girls Trip star said more than once while laughing as Will forced a grin beside her.
“No more entanglements! I love you, girl. I’m just kidding. I’m just joshing you,” Laverne replied as a cringe-worthy aura emanated from the entire group.

Will and Jada share son Jaden Smith, 23, and daughter Willow Smith, 21 – through the former the Fresh Prince’s wife met August.
In June 2020, the rapper claimed on The Breakfast Club that he was in a relationship with the actress with Will’s “blessing.”
While Jada and Will initially denied the cheating rumors, the actress later revealed that she had a romantic relationship with August when she and Will secretly separated in 2015.
A month after August’s interview, Jada spoke on the “entanglement” – her word – while in a frank 2020 Red Table Talk with Will.
“I was done with your a**, marriages have that though,” Will said, as they were separated at the time of the 2015 affair, to which Jada said: “We broke up.”
Pushing her to continue, Will asked: “And then what did you do, Jada?”
She replied: “As time went on I got into a different kind of entanglement with August,” who was 25 at the time.
Jada also spoke about the experience in a Red Table Talk with her mom, Adrienne Banfield-Norris: “Yes, it was a relationship, absolutely. I was in a lot of pain, and I was very broken.”
August also released a rap song called “Entanglements” in 2020.
‘UNCONVENTIONAL’ MARRIAGE
The Men In Black star previously opened up about his unconventional relationship with Jada to GQ, saying “marriage for us can’t be a prison.”
The actor explained: “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.
He continued: “We have given each other trust and freedom, with the belief that everybody has to find their own way. And marriage for us can’t be a prison.”
Will was also seriously candid about his 23-year marriage to Jada in his recent book, also revealing that he went to visit a tantric sex expert when they temporarily split in 2011
