Lets Talk: Would You Let Your Husband Go On Vacation With His Ex-Wife and Their Child?

Since the debut of Jada Pinkett-Smith’s Facebook show, “Red Table Talk,” she has been very open about her relationship with Will Smith’s ex-wife and their son, Trey. Will and Jada have a different kind of relationship that many will not understand or able to duplicate, but it works for their family.

When two people have divorced and a child is involved, so many factors come into play when it is time for one or both of them to move on. You want to ensure that whoever that person decides to be with, they are loving and caring for the child that is involved. During Will and Jada’s marriage, they have shared holidays together with his ex-wife and went as far as traveling together as one big family so that all of the children are able to enjoy everyone in creating more lifelong memories.

In a recent interview with Sway Universe, Jada Pinkett-Smith revealed that Will has vacationed with his ex-wife Sheree Fletcher and their son Trey without Jada. In fact, the trio recently came back from a vacation to Jordan and Israel without her. She discussed in the interview how it is important for Trey to see a positive interaction between both of his parents.

“That’s very important that he can feel that connection and feel where they do meet. So he can feel that parental connection,” she said. “I think that’s important.”

Now, many may not agree with how the actress handles their relationship with Fletcher but trust and believe Pinkett-Smith is far from bothered.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

“We are family. Take out all that whole marriage, relationship crap, at the end of the day, Will and I are family,” she said. “All that relationship and what people think ideas of a husband, partner and all that, man, whatever… that is a man that can rely on me for the rest of his life, period.”

Everyone’s situation/relationship is different and cannot be handled the same. If we can take anything from the Smith family, you have to be sure to keep communication open. Talk with one another and find that common ground, especially when you are trying to co-parent. Creating a positive environment for the kids is important. At the end of the day, you have to make your children feel comfortable and loved. I am sure many aren’t trying to go on vacations together but if you can find a place to co-exist, that is a start.

Remember, family first!
