On the latest edition of Facebook's Red Table Talk, Willow Smith, her mother Jada Pinkett Smith, and Pinkett Smith's mother Adrienne Banfield-Jones gathered together to talk about sexuality and different types of romantic relationships. It was then that Willow dropped a bombshell admission that she would explore a polyamorous relationship or the practice of having multiple partners for the purpose of love.
Good Morning America reported on the latest edition of the hit Facebook web series, where the three generations of women regularly get together to discuss topics they feel are important to one another and their audience.
They attempted to clarify the practice as a way for a person to try and find love in a way that fulfills them.
During their discussion, Willow explained what she felt the difference was between polyamory and a throuple.
"The difference in polyamory is an honest, romantic relationship with multiple people at the same time, no secrets or lies," she said. "A throuple is a type of polyamorous relationship—three people having a consensual romance. Polyamory is not polygamy. That's when a man has multiple wives. And it's not swinging, when couples have casual sex."
"Will and I are constantly in conversations about alternatives," Pinkett Smith said during the discussion, claiming she was faithful to her husband of more than 21 years.
Pinkett Smith also called her relationship with Smith's ex-wife Sheree Zampino a "non-sexual throuple."
Willow explained that she believes that being in a monogamous relationship inhibits a person from evolving past feelings of insecurity and jealousy in a relationship, stating that there are so many people to learn from in this world. She does not want to limit herself to just depending on one person to grow with.
