Garcelle Beauvais Spills On Former Relationship With Will Smith
As much as you may think you know about Will Smith's relationship history — and there aren't many stones that have been left unturned — there are still pieces of information coming to the surface. We've heard the intimate conversations he had with his wife Jada Pinkett Smith on her Facebook talk show "Red Table Talk," read the graphic details he published in his memoir "Will," and we all watched that slap he delivered to Chris Rock in Pinkett Smith's defense at the Oscars. But we hadn't yet heard about his brief relationship with actor and part-time "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star Garcelle Beauvais.
Smith and Beauvais met when she guest-starred on a few episodes of "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air," according to an interview she gave on the podcast Las Culturistas, via Radar Online and they struck up a romance. Beauvais said she realized the relationship wasn't meant to last when she realized Smith wasn't exactly all-in.

Garcelle Beauvais told the hosts of Las Culturistas that she and Will Smith got together soon after his divorce from Sheree Zampino, but she didn't stick around once she realized there was another woman in the picture: emerging actor Jada Pinkett. Beauvais recalled ringing up the future Oscar-winner when he was in the car with his son, Trey, in the backseat.
"So, you know, he picked up on the car or Bluetooth or whatever it was back in the day or speakerphone. Whatever it was and he said, 'Hey, how are you doing?' And I said, 'I'm great.' I heard his little voice in the background go, 'Is that Miss Jada?' And that's when I'm like okay, I'm not the only one. Exit stage left," Beauvais said. She added, "If a kid knows somebody then that person's a little bit more important."
Beauvais also wrote about the incident in her memoir, "Love Me As I Am," which also includes details of her romance with Michael Jordan, according to Yahoo! News.
