Smith’s wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, previously admitted to having an ‘entanglement’ while the couple was separated four years ago
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Will Smith is continuing to field jokes and memes aimed at the “entanglement” his wife Jada Pinkett Smith found herself in with R&B singer August Alsina.
On Wednesday, the “Hitch” actor took to Instagram and shared a video of himself jumping rope, which all but set up the opportunity for one clever commenter to fire off a joke.
"Ok don't get entangled," the Instagram user wrote, adding a laughing-crying emoji.

Smith saw the remark, and while he admitted to the user that the joke definitely landed, Smith said he was still hitting the block button on the commenter.
"Hahaha... Okay... I can admit it. That's Funny!” Smith replied. “I'm definitely gonna block you. But the joke was Very Funny!"

Meanwhile, another commenter chimed in, adding, “Jada jumping into new relationships.” That remark didn’t elicit a response from Smith, but other users issued more than 1,400 “likes” on the comment.
Pinkett addressed the Alsina affair rumors on a special episode of her Facebook Watch series "Red Table Talk" on July 10 and admitted to getting into an "entanglement" with the 27-year-old musician while she and Smith were separated four years ago.

Alsina reacted to Pinkett's admission in a new interview with Vulture. He said while he hasn't sat down and watched the entire episode at once, he "saw small clips floating on Instagram... but it's definitely been brought to my attention by people around me."

He added: "It was exactly that. I think it’s just the language that probably stuck out to people. But I definitely have to agree with it being an entanglement. It definitely was something complicated, a complicated dynamic.”
