Jada Pinkett Smith, 49, and her daughter Willow, 20, have both revealed that they have been attracted to women in the past
The pair made the revelation on their Facebook show Red Table Talk which they co-host with Jada’s mother Adrienne Banfield-Norris, 67.
Girls Trip star Jada is married to Hollywood actor Will Smith, who is the father of Willow and 22-year-old Jaden.

Jada confessed that actually having a relationship with a woman ‘wasn’t for me’ but shared she had been sexually attracted to them before.
‘I love being amongst women but I never could connect to women romantically but that’s not to say that it couldn’t be, like you just never know,’ said Jada.
She revealed she has ‘swooned a lot’ for women and said: ‘I’ve had two times I’ve been like infatuated with a woman.’
The Magic Mike XXL actress said that these infatuations occurred ‘early, early, early on’ in her life when she was around the age of ‘like 20’.

Meanwhile Willow noted: ‘I’ve had my fair share of like swooning and thinking: “Oh my god, she’s so beautiful! She’s so talented!”‘
She noted: ‘I don’t feel like I’ve been in love with a woman just yet, but I definitely feel like it could happen because I’ve had very strong feelings for women before.’
The Whip My Hair hitmaker went on: ‘That feeling that you get when you’re with your sisters – that understanding and that acceptance and that softness, I feel like is very appealing, specifically to me.’
A couple of years ago she dished on the program that she believes in polygamy and could be ‘polyfidelitious’ to one woman and one man at the same time.

Last summer, Jada’s love life came under the glare of the spotlight during a one-on-one Red Table Talk with Will about their marriage.
She addressed her relationship with musician August Alsina, 28, after he claimed during an interview with Angela Yee that he had an affair with the star after getting the ‘blessing’ of her husband Will.
Soon after, Jada and Will appeared on an episode of Red Table Talk to admit Jada had been in a relationship with August despite originally denying the rumors.
But they both maintained that Will never gave August his blessing, because he was actually separated from Jada at the time.

During her revealing chat with Will, Jada revealed that the ‘entanglement’ occurred over four years prior when she and Will were broken up.
During the course of the episode Will joked that he would ‘get you back’ prompting Jada to laugh that ‘I think you’ve gotten me back. I think we’re good on that, okay?’
At a more serious moment in their conversation Will said that ‘to be able to make mistakes without fear of losing your family is so critical.’
August responded to their interview to say he doesn’t ‘have an issue’ with Jada or Will, as he still sees them as ‘family’.

Speaking to Vulture, he said: ‘I don’t have an issue with anybody. I love everybody. I love all of them. They’ve been my family, and there’s a lot of history there.
‘They’re beautiful people. They’re beautiful spirits. They really are. There’s no bad blood with anybody.
‘They [the Smiths] got [the Angela Yee interview] way before the world ever saw it. It came from a loving place. There’s no bad love with anybody. I got love for everybody on this planet.’
August’s claims forced Jada and Will to admit they had endured a brief split in their 23-year marriage, which they discussed on Jada’s Facebook Watch show.

Will said to Jada on the show: ‘I was done with you. We decided that we were going to separate for a period of time and you go figure out how to make yourself happy and I’ll try to figure out myself happy. I really felt like we could be over.’
Jada said: ‘It was a relationship. I was in a lot of pain, I was very broken. In the process of that relationship, I definitely realized that you can’t find happiness outside of yourself.’
The mother-of-two continued: ‘Luckily enough, you and I were also going through a process in a much different matter.
‘I would definitely say we did everything that we could to get away from each other, only to realize that that wasn’t possible.
Fessing up: Jada and her husband Will Smith appeared on an episode of Red Table Talk to admit Jada had been in a relationship with August, despite originally denying the rumors
‘I just wanted to feel good. It had been so long since I felt good. It was really a joy to help heal somebody.’
When Will and Jada began communicating again, Jada claimed August ended their relationship.
Meanwhile Willow, who has been the subject of romance rumors with Tyler Cole in the past, is famously tight-lipped about the specifics of her love life.
Willow also has a 28-year-old half-brother called Trey, who is Will’s son by his first wife Sheree Zampino, a previous guest on Red Table Talk.
