Will Smith's daughter, Willow Smith, 20, comes out as polyamorous on Red Table Talk and mom Jada says 'I totally get it'
.
Willow Smith has come out as polyamorous to her mum and grandmother on The Red Table Talk.
.
The 20-year-old daughter of actors Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith opened up on Wednesday during a discussion with her mother and grandmother.
.
Polyamory is the practice of engaging in multiple romantic relationships, with the consent of all the people involved.
.
However, Willow noted that she can't see herself "going past two partners."
.
Willow said on her mum's Facebook show Red Table Talk: "With polyamory, I feel like the main foundation is the freedom to be able to create a relationship style that works for you and not just stepping into monogamy because that's what everyone around you says is the right thing to do.
.
"So I was like, how can I structure the way that I approach relationships with that in mind? Also, doing research into polyamory, the main reasons why monogamous relationships - or why marriage - why divorces happen is infidelity."
.
Willow, who practices ethical non-monogamy, received support from her mother but was met with resistance from her grandmother.
Grandma, Adrienne Banfield-Norris, said: "For somebody like me, it feels like it's really all just centered around sex."
.
Willow Smith then tried to explain things to her grandmother by giving her an example of a couple who might have opposite appetites for sex.
.
"Are you gonna be the person to say, you know 'just because I don't have these needs, you can't have them either?
.
"And so that's kind of one of the reasons why I actually was interested in poly because I was introduced to it through kind of a nonsexual lens. In my friend group, I'm the only polyamorous person, and I have the least sex out of all of my friends."
.
Willow also said the "history of marriage really irks me".
.
Her mother, Jada reacted to her revelation, saying: "I'm okay with whatever you do.
.
"When you were like, 'Hey, this is my get down.' I was like, 'I totally get it.' Wanting to set up your life in a way that you can have what it is that you want, I think anything goes as long as the intentions are clear."
.
Two years ago, Willow Smith confessed she was bisexual and polyfidelitous.
.
Willow said at the time: "I love men and women equally and so I would definitely want one man, one woman.
.
"I feel like I could be polyfidelitous with those two people. I'm not the kind of person that is constantly looking for new sexual experiences. I focus a lot on the emotional connection and I feel like if I were to find two people of the different genders that I really connected with and we had a romantic and sexual connection, I don't feel like I would feel the need to try to go find more."
