- The sportsbooks have opened odds on whether or not Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith will split up.
- These odds come in the wake of revelations that Pinkett Smith had a relationship with singer August Alsina.
- The odds suggest that the two will stick it out, giving them a +600 chance of divorce by 2021.
LOS ANGELES - Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith’s marriage has been in the headlines recently, and now it has made its way to the sportsbooks.
The two celebrities sat down for an honest conversation about their marriage, and Jada’s “entanglement” with singer August Alsina on an episode of Jada’s show, Red Table Talk.
The rumors about Alsina and Jada had been swirling ever since Alsina admitted that he had a relationship with Pinkett Smith while talking to Angela Yee of The Breakfast Club.
Now, in the wake of the revelations, the story swept the internet like wildfire, generating memes, and, in some cases, wagers.
Some of the major online sportsbooks have now placed odds on whether or not the Smiths will stay together, so let’s check them out.
Will Smith And Jada Pinkett Smith Divorced By 2021
- Yes +600
- No -2000
Entertainment bettors will be familiar with celebrity betting odds like these, which tend to be attention grabbers for the sportsbook in question.
The Smiths are favored to stick it out, which makes sense given their publicly broadcasted conversation.
During the course of the conversation, it became clear that the rumors were true - Jada was in a relationship with August Alsina, and Will was more or less aware of it.
This would lend credence to the idea that the couple had or have an open relationship, which in turn suggests that this will not end their relationship.

The main events that drew attention from the internet were twofold. First, when describing her relationship with Alsina, Jada called it an “entanglement” until Will pushed her to describe it, accurately, as a relationship.
Second, most of our readers might have seen this face already.

That screenshot of Will from the Red Table Talk broadcast went viral, and turned into, basically, the Crying Jordan meme in a matter of hours.
Why does this matter to the betting odds? Well, most people’s exposure to this situation is through those two viral moments - Will looking sad and Jada awkwardly calling her relationship an ‘entanglement’.
Neither of those two moments looks great for their odds to stick together, when taken outside of the context of the full conversation.
However, when viewing the conversation, it seems a little more clear that the Smith’s might just stick it out - they’ve been together for 25 years, and have been separated during that time.
We wish them the best of luck - and the same to anyone betting on this.
