Jada Pinkett wouldn't mind a polyamorous throuple with Will Smith

Willow Smith has revealed on the Red Table Talk with her mother Jada Pinkett Smith and her grandmother Adrienne Banfield Norris she would consider being in a polyamorous throuple relationship.

The 18-year-old I Am Legend actress said she became curious after following a polyamorous throuple on Instagram. She started researching the unconventional relationship and found she could see herself being in one.

While her mother was open to the idea and revealed an experience with multiple partners her grandmother was unsure of the topic.

In voice over the 18-year-old explained that polyamory is an ‘open and honest’ romantic relationship involving multiple people. A throuple is a romantic couple of three people and a form of polyamory.

When it comes to the possibility of being in a throuple herself she said,

I love men and women equally. I’d want one man, one woman.

She added,

I feel like I could be polyfidelitous [in a committed relationship with multiple people] with those two people. I’m not the kind of person that is constantly looking for new sexual experiences.

I focus a lot on the emotional connection and I feel like if I were to find two people of the different genders that I really connected with and we had a romantic and sexual connection, I don’t feel like I would feel the need to try to go find more.

Her Gammy, 65, said, ‘I would not be excited about that. It doesn’t sit well with me, I don’t understand this emotional commitment.‘

She felt that polyamory was more about the partners wanting to fulfill more sexual experiences. After sitting down with the throuple the matriarch understood more about the non-sexual dynamics in the relationship, though she still would never consider it for herself.

Jada, 47, had no problem with Willow’s words, saying,

‘Whatever makes you happy.’ She continued, ‘I always tell her, never be afraid. You have to live who you’re not to know who you are.’

The hosts each explained their own views on monogamy and alternative relationships.

For the youngest Smith child she revealed that to her, monogamy is stifling and comes from a history of insecurity and ownership.

‘Monogamy, I feel – and this is just for me – I feel actually inhibits you from learning those skills of evolving past those feelings of insecurity,’ she continued. ‘That feeling of “Oh, no, you can’t do this… if you were to do this, the world would crumble on both sides.” There’s just no freedom, it’s all fear based.’

Willow went on to say she finds the concepts of marriage and monogamy ‘steeped in this idea of ownership,’ and adding that they can be oppressive to women.

‘If your intention is to create more love, more understanding, more community, more compassion in your life then I’m all for it. But if your intention is to just have sex all the time, with whoever you want, that doesn’t sit well with me,‘ Willow said.

The mom, Jada Pinkett of two also said she and husband Will Smith are ‘constantly in conversations about alternatives.’

In Jada’s mind, she has been part of a ‘nonsexual’  throuple for years – with Will Smith’s ex wife, Sheree Zampino. When asked if she’d be interested in being in a polyamorous relationship now, she said yes but with stipulations.

‘Hell yeah. I could do a throuple,’ she explained. ‘I couldn’t probably be romantically engaged with somebody else, but I can only have sex with one person. I’m sexually monogamous. Maybe back in the day, you know what I mean. Today, I could have only one.’

She then clarified that it might have to be a quadruple, with three partners, to keep things ‘equal.’

Though she has dabbled in sexual experiences with two partners.

She said the experience happened when she was in her ‘early 20s.’ She said: ‘I had a threesome once. I was very, very young. Like early 20s. ‘

Though she said she didn’t enjoy it as there wasn’t enough ‘intimacy’ and defined it as a ‘sexual experience’ that wasn’t for her.
