Laverne Cox decided to not filter and ask the burning question that fans had been dying to know from Wil Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith on the red carpet at SAG Awards.

It was at this moment that Orange Is The New Black actress Laverne Cox decided to ask the couple about Jada's infamous "entanglement" with rapper August Alsina.

"Thank you for all the years of joy you've brought us, thank you, we can't wait for more 'Red Table Talk' and more entanglements," Cox said to the couple on the red carpet.

"No more of those," Pinkett Smith replied as both she and Smith laughed. "No more entanglements, no more entanglements," Cox said.

The couple made it to the internet after they surprised fans with their revelations about their secret romances, past experiences, or unknown facts about their marriage.

Then their union last year left fans shocked after rapper August Alsina claimed that he had engaged in a relationship with Jada with Will's permission.

Though Jada initially denied the claims, however, when she and Will took part in an interview for her web show Red Table Talk, she said that an "entanglement" had occurred.

When news of Jada's "entanglement" with Alsina came to light last year, she explained what had occurred in her own words.

Talking about their life's difficult period when their relationship had hit a rough patch, she said at the time: "We decided we were going to separate for a period of time and you go figure out how to make yourself happy and I will go figure out how to make myself happy."

"From there, as time went on, I got into a different kind of entanglement with August," she added.

Talking about their union, Will said that it is a "miracle" that he is still speaking to his wife after her affair.

Discussing his wife’s affair with Alsina, 51-year-old Will said last year: "I wasn't sure I was ever going to speak to you again. The fact that I’m speaking to you again is a miracle.

"[Marriage] ain’t for the weak at heart. There's just certain things that you have to go through… I sure wish it could be all magic and miracles."

Sharing further details about her relationship with Alsina, Jada described her connection with Alsina as a "different kind of entanglement" to what she had experienced with her husband.

Will, reflecting on the state of their marriage at that time, declared: "I was done with your a**. I was done with you," before adding: "Marriages have that though. We decided that we were going to separate for a period of time and you go figure out how to make yourself happy and I’ll try to figure out how to make myself happy. I really felt like we could be over."

The duo got married in 1997, and have two children, son Jaden, 23, and daughter Willow, 20.

Will also has a son Trey, 28, from a previous marriage to Sheree Zampino.
