No, Will Smith is not gay. He has only been in public relationships with women, most notably his ex-wife Jada Pinkett Smith, with whom he shares two children. The pair married in 1997 and separated in 2016, but they’ve stated that they don’t intend to officially divorce.

There have been some unsubstantiated rumors about Smith’s sexuality in the past. Most recently, in November of 2023, Smith’s former assistant claimed that he had witnessed Smith engaged in a sexual act with another man. Smith strongly denied these claims and said the story was “completely fabricated.” The bottom line? Smith has consistently identified as a heterosexual man throughout his career, and he’s only had public relationships with women, so it’s best not to speculate unless he changes his label himself.
