Will Smith & Sheree Zampino

Before Will Smith got married to Jada Pinkett Smith, he was once wed to Sheree Zampino. It might surprise you to learn that these three are connected by love and loss. Long before Will met Jada, he was already infatuated with her. When he arrived at the set of Jada’s show, A Different World, he was determined to meet the actress. However, he ran into Sheree and asked for her number instead. From here, they began communicating and it eventually bloomed into a romance.

They ended up tying the knot in 1992 and welcomed their first child, Trey, soon after. However, when Will started to rise in prominence, their relationship began to crumble. Sadly, on a Valentine’s Day, their lawyers finalized their split. She said they were both too young to understand marriage. Will later remarried in 1997, and this time, it was to Jada.
