Garcelle Beauvais has spoken about her failed relationship with Will Smith and once turning down Michael Jordan. According to Garcelle, she had to end things with Will Smith because she realized he was growing strong with Jada Pinkett via Complex;
“I remember one day calling [Will] and he was in the car. And his son, with Sheree, [they] were in the back,” Beauvais said on the podcast, referencing Sheree Zampino and Will’s son, Trey. “So you know, he picked up on the car or Bluetooth or whatever it was back in the day, or speakerphone—whatever it was—and he said, ‘Hey, how are you doing?’ And I said, ‘I’m great.’”
From there, Beauvais said she heard “this little voice in the background” ask Will if it was “Miss Jada” on the phone. “And that’s when I was like okay—I’m not the only one. Exit stage left,” she said, laughing.
On turning down Michael Jordan, she had this to say;
“I was impressed by how tall and handsome he was,” Beauvais said. “He took me on a golf date after the shoot and showed me how to hold a club properly and swing. Like a naive little girl, I was ‘clutching my pearls’ and shocked by the idea of going to Hawaii with a man I had just met.” Further addressing this moment, Beauvais added, “I blew that one!”
Maybe Will Smith wouldn’t have ended up like this if he had stuck with Garcelle Beauvais and not married Jada Pinkett in 1997. But hey, Will Smith made his choice and now facing the outcome of his choice.
