Is Will Smith Gay? Jada Pinkett Smith's Husband Allegedly Prefers to Be Intimate With Men

Will Smith is once again the focal point of media scrutiny following a series of claims regarding his sexuality and private conduct. While the Oscar-winning actor has spent decades as one of Hollywood's most bankable stars, his personal life has recently eclipsed his professional achievements.

The narrative surrounding the 'King Richard' star and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, has attracted recurring public scrutiny in recent years. A new blind item suggests that they are in an open marriage and have been separated for years because Smith is allegedly gay.

Blind Item Renews Speculation About Smith

A recent blind item circulating on TikTok has reignited discussions about the actor's personal life. The report alleges that several men have come forward to privately confirm that they have engaged in sexual relations with a 'married permanent A-list actor,' who is allegedly Will Smith. According to the claim, Smith allegedly prefers the company of men despite his high-profile marriage to Pinkett Smith. The blind item also suggests that similar accounts have continued to surface, making the alleged secret increasingly difficult to contain.

The blind item raises questions about the couple's much-discussed arrangement, given how openly the pair have previously spoken about the unconventional nature of their marriage.

The post received hundreds of comments, with many saying they were not surprised and claiming to have heard similar accounts years earlier. 'This is not a secret lol,' one commenter wrote. Another added, 'This is known, not a blind item,' while a third described it as 'old news.' Some defended Smith, suggesting he could be bisexual, while others said they remained fans regardless. The reactions indicate that speculation about Smith's sexuality has circulated online for some time, though no named source has come forward to verify the blind item's claims.

Brother Bilaal Details Alleged Encounter With Duane Martin

The most detailed claims questioning Will Smith's sexuality originate from his former assistant, Brother Bilaal, born Bilaal Salaam. He claimed to have witnessed a sexual encounter between Smith and actor Duane Martin, a long-time friend of Smith who appeared in several episodes of 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.'

'I opened the door to Duane's dressing room and that's when I see Duane having anal sex with Will,' Bilaal said on 'Unwine With Tasha K.' 'There was a couch and Will was bent over the couch and Duane was standing up, killing him, murdering him. It was murder in there.'

Smith Denies Allegation

Will Smith's spokesperson called Bilaal's claim 'unequivocally false.' Smith also considered taking legal action. A separate source said Smith and Pinkett Smith were 'really mad' about Bilaal's statements, describing him as 'an opportunistic person out to exploit them.'

However, it was Bilaal who filed a legal complaint. He sued Pinkett Smith in a $3 million (approximately £2.25 million) lawsuit after she allegedly confronted him at a hotel in September 2021, purportedly warning him that if he continued 'telling her personal business' he would 'end up missing or catch a bullet.' In February 2026, Pinkett Smith asked a California court to dismiss the complaint, arguing it was an attempt to suppress her free speech, and denied being verbally abusive.

Earlier this year, violinist Brian King Joseph also made headlines after suing Smith for wrongful termination, alleging that Smith and his company fired him for reporting sexual assault and that the 'Men in Black' star had been 'grooming and priming' him.
