In an exclusive new clip for her Facebook show Red Table Talk, Jada Pinkett-Smith reminds the world she hasn’t always been Will Smith’s better half.
Answering a reader question, she opens up about the first boyfriend she ever brought home for the holidays.
“Grant Hill,” Pinkett Smith, 47, says with a smile, referring to the former basketball star who played for the Detroit Pistons, Orlando Magic, Phoenix Suns and the Los Angeles Clippers throughout his career, which ran from 1994-2013.
The former Duke player, 46, and Pinkett-Smith dated between 1993 and 1995, back when Hill was a rising star athlete and Pinkett-Smith was an actress on A Different World.
In 1999, Hill married Canadian singer Tamia, with whom he shares two daughters: Myla Grace, 17, and Lael Rose, 12.
