Who is Sheree Zampino? Her relationship with Jada Pinkett and Will Smith
Though Sheree Zampino has a claim to fame as an American actress, producer, and fashion entrepreneur; Many would insist that her marriage to Hollywood sweetheart Will Smith made her popular. Despite the fact that their union only lasted a few years, she turned her failed celebrity marriage into a hit reality television show in 2012 and rose to celebrity levels like she hadn’t before her divorce from Smith.
Who is Sheree Zampino?
Born November 16, 1967 in Schenectady, New York; Sheree Zampino is the daughter of Les Zampino (father) and Pam (mother). Her father worked in a theater company in Schenectady, New York, and her mother was a clerk in a financial firm. When Sheree was a child, her parents’ marriage soured, resulting in a divorce. After the divorce, Sheree moved in with her father.
From an early age she developed a passion for all things glittery and fashionable and this eventually led her to study at the Fashion Institute of Technology in Manhattan. She then attended the Fashion Institute of Design & Merchandising in Los Angeles.
In 2009, she started a clothing, jewelry and accessories store called Sheree Elizabeth Boutique. The business, which began in Sheree’s California home, was established with a focus on fashion jewelry and accessories. She then took the boutique online at shereeelizabeth.com.
In addition to being an entrepreneur, Sheree Zampino is also an actress and producer. The beautiful woman of Italian and African-American descent started her acting career with Hollywood Exes, Formerly a Reality TV Series, which debuted on June 27, 2012 on VH1 and aired its final episode on July 2, 2014.
In 2015, Sheree became part of the cast of Minay Matthews’ documentary/talk show Minay TV. She also hosts her own show, Eat Pray Live, Formerly on Black Hollywood Live.
Sheree Zampino has been married twice. Her first marriage was to popular American actor and rapper Willard Carroll Smith Jr., known professionally as Will Smith. After the marriage ended, she met her second husband, Terrell Fletcher. They had a dating of five years despite being on and off.
Meanwhile, four years after starting dating,Sheree Zampino called it quits because she wanted more, but Fletcher wasn’t ready to make a commitment. The duo were separated for a year, but fate still brought them together when they met at a church conference where Sheree was one of the speakers.
Somehow, their love was rekindled, and Fletcher later popped the question. They married on May 26, 2007 in Yorba Linda, California. Their marriage produced a daughter named Jodie Fletcher. Unfortunately, the couple no longer lived happily ever after. There were reports that Sheree wasn’t happy with the marriage, which is why they separated in 2013 after Sheree filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.
Her relationship with Jada Pinkett and Will Smith
As previously mentioned, Sheree Zampino is the former wife of Will Smith. They first met while filming the sitcom, Another World. Sheree was there to support her friend who was writing for the show and Smith happened to be there too, sitting next to her in the audience.
The trio then hung out and, without telling Sheree, her friend gave Smith her phone number. He called her afterwards and they kept talking from there. They began dating shortly thereafter and married in 1992 after a long relationship. About six months later, on November 11, 1992, they welcomed their first child, a son named Willard Carroll “Trey” Smith III.
However, their marriage soon ran out of steam, and just under three years after tying the knot, the duo filed for divorce. Their decision to split was reportedly based on mutual understanding and that explains why they are still supportive and very good friends to this day.
In 2016, actress Alexis Arquette claimed that Will Smith was gay, adding that it was the reason his first marriage fell apart. As Sheree defended Smith, she revealed the real reason behind their divorce. According to her, it was not because of infidelity, nor because she found him in bed with a man or woman, but because both were so young and unable to fulfill the obligations of marriage. She also said it was because she felt more irrelevant as Smith grew in his career.
While his marriage to Sheree was still ongoing, Smith met Jada Pinkett on the set of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air in 1994 and began dating her the following year before finalizing his divorce from his first wife. In 1997 they married.
Being the woman who “stole” her husband’s heart as her son’s stepmother, it came as no surprise that Sheree and Jada had a very tumultuous relationship to begin with. However, the ladies have evidently managed to put their differences aside. They’ve become such good friends that Jada even had Sheree as the first guest on her new Facebook Watch talk show. Red Table Talk. During the show, the ladies remembered their not entirely smooth start and laughed about it. Jada admitted she was wrong about Smith until now, before his marriage to Zampino was officially over.
In the course of the emotional conversation, the two women have big plans. Ultimately, Sheree Zampino valued Jada because she loved her son Trey and was the best “bonus mom” he could have.
