Will Smith discusses his first marriage and how he fell in love with another woman

Will Smith revealed that he had feelings for Stockard Channing while married to Sheree Zampino. In his new memoir, Will, he spoke up.

Will Smith has stated that during his first marriage to Sheree Zampino, he fell in love with his Six Degrees of Separation co-star Stockard Channing.

In his new memoir Will, the actor also spoke about his marriage then which was ‘off to a rocky start’.

Will played Paul Poitier in the 1993 film Six Degrees of Separation, which was released a year after his marriage. In the Fred Schepisi-directed film, Stockard portrayed Louisa.

People.com quoted an excerpt from Will Smith’s book, “Sheree and I were in the first few months of our marriage with a brand-new baby and for Sheree, I can imagine that this experience was unsettling to say the least. She’d married a guy named Will Smith and now she was living with a guy named Paul Poitier. And to make matters worse, during shooting I fell in love with Stockard Channing.”

“After the film wrapped, Sheree and Trey and I moved back to LA. Our marriage was off to a rocky start. I found myself desperately yearning to see and speak to Stockard,” Will also said.
