Although the Girls Trip star has wished for something to exist in their marriage.

While promoting Girls Trip in 2017 on Watch What Happens Live, the actress got asked a question about the craziest rumor she has heard about her family. To which she replied, “That Will and I are swingers.” She added that she keeps hearing these rumors and screamed, “Yo! I wish!”

Her costar and fellow guest on the show, Queen Latifah, added to her statement that she has always admired the bond Jada shares with her husband. She even commented that she compares the relationship of the couple to every relationship she has ever been in.

However, their married life has not been this happy forever; it has seen many ups and downs. And though she meant the swinging jokingly, people often connect it to the bond she shared with the singer August Alsina. But what happened between these two?
