It would be some people’s worse nightmare if their partner took trips alone with their exes, but Jada Pinkett Smith isn’t one of those people. On Wednesday, the Red Table Talk host welcomed Will Smith’s ex-wife Sheree Zampino, as a guest, revealing that she’s totally comfortable with them going on trips alone.

“You guys really enjoy each other,” Jada responded. Country singer Jana Kramer was also a special guest on the episode and she asked the question that most people were wondering, “Does that ever get under your skin?”
Without missing a beat, the host said, “never” adding that they even go on business trips together alone. “They take trips, I’m not there. They do their thing,” Jada explained.
While the 51-year-old clarified they are “not together romantically,” she said if he has work trips, like a book tour, and his mom and sister are going, “it’s fun for me to watch them enjoy each other. It takes time though.”

Jada and Will married in 1997, two years after he divorced Zampino. While at the time, Jada thought their relationship was over with the divorce, she said proudly, “This woman is a part of this family.“
Years later, she said she would have handled it differently. “[I was] not only taking on Trey, but Sheree is coming along too. Looking back, I definitely would have taken a beat as far as putting myself in the dynamic of you guys [and] let you two flesh out whatever you need to figure out. I didn’t understand it.”
