American singer Willow Smith has opened up about being polyamorous on In Wednesday’s episode of “Red Table Talk”.
Polyamorous describes being in more than one intimate relationship at the same time with the consent of the parties involved. Smith, 20, said as part of a candid chat with her mother, Jada Pinkett-Smith, and grandmother, Adrienne Banfield-Norris.
“With polyamory, I feel like the main foundation is the freedom to be able to create a relationship style that works for you and not just stepping into monogamy because that’s what everyone around you says is the right thing to do.
So I was like, how can I structure the way that I approach relationships with that in mind? Also, doing research into polyamory, the main reasons why monogamous relationships or why marriage, why divorces happen, is infidelity.”
She also stressed that having more than one partner at a time doesn’t mean she’s more s*xually active.
“In my friend group, I’m the only polyamorous person. I have the least s*x out of all of my friends.”
Willow Smith has spoken out about her interest in polyamorous relationships before. In a 2019 episode of “Red Table Talk,” she said she “could be polyfidelitous” with one man and one woman.

“I’m not the kind of person that is constantly looking for new s****l experiences. I focus a lot on the emotional connection and I feel like if I were to find two people of different genders that I really connected with and we had a romantic and s*xual connection, I don’t feel like I would feel the need to try to go find more,” she said at the time.
Smith doubled down on that point in Wednesday’s episode, noting once again that she didn’t see herself having more than two intimate partners at a time. And though the history of marriage “really irks” her, she hasn’t completely ruled out getting married in the future under specific circumstances.
“Let’s say me and my partner or partners wants to help people,” Smith said, “and we need to put our finances together in order to make that vision happen. That’s the only way I could see myself getting married.”
