Will Smith mentions ex-wife Shiri Zampino... "Divorce, Ultimate Failure"

Hollywood star Will Smith has spoken out about his past divorce.

Recently, husband Will Smith (54) appeared on the talk show 'Red Table Talk' to celebrate 'Father's Day'.

Will Smith talked about several things with the keyword 'father' in the broadcast. "I've wanted to be a father since I was six years old," he said. "I liked the way our family looked, but my father's parenting had a major flaw that I wanted to correct." He said his father was a strict disciplinarian and sometimes abusive to his mother. "Everywhere is school. Whatever you do, you have to do it well," he said.

He also cited ex-wife Shiri Zampino as her ultimate failure in her adult life.

He also mentioned being criticized for his bizarre parenting. "There are no rules," he said. "Our parenting is more art than science and I love what we draw."

Will Smith married Shiri Zampino in 1992 and they have one son. After that, they announced their divorce in 1995.

Later, in 1997, he married Jade Pinkett and gave birth to one son and one daughter. Jade Pinkett has been controversial for having an affair with August Alsina, a singer 21 years younger than her.

However, Jade Pickett said, "Because Will gave permission" and "I did nothing wrong. We changed from a couple to life partners."

In response, Will Smith said, "We gave each other trust and freedom with the belief that everyone should find their own way. For us, marriage cannot be a prison."
