American celebrity kid, Jaden Smith has been in our faces since he could walk. Being the child of a mega superstar father and a very influential mother, it was very certain that he was going to follow in his parent’s footsteps, and become an entertainer himself. Jaden went on to do exactly that, and 23 years later is already an accomplished rapper, songwriter, actor, and model. He debuted in Hollywood alongside his famous father Will Smith, with his appearance in the movie, ‘The Pursuit of Happiness’ and even winning the 2007 MTV Movie Awards for it. He also went on to star in the Jackie Chan-featured classic ‘Karate Kid’ and has continued to increase his own social and financial currency.
Jaden soon branched out and ventured into modeling and fashion, however his fashion statements have gathered a lot of mixed reactions from fans around the world. Looking at several pictures of Jaden Smith, people noticed that the actor’s outfits didn’t exactly fit into the acceptable mold for men. This led to a great avalanche of questions and opinions concerning the sexual orientation of the 23-year-old. Jaden Smith has shown great business acumen by smartly leveraging all the buzz to promote his multiple clothing lines, as well as his music career. But the bane of being a celebrity kid popular in their own right is that the questions still linger: Is Jaden gay? Is he transgender? Why does he wear girls’ clothes? You are about to find out the answers to these questions and more.
Truths about Jaden Smith’s sexuality
The questions surrounding Jaden Smith’s sexuality have not only been kindled by his unconventional dress sense and his outlandish physical appearance. Apparently Jaden lit the internet ablaze with his own words when he insinuated that he was in a relationship with rapper and producer, Tyler the Creator. The ‘Never Say Never’ rapper seemed so casually oblivious of the effect his words would have on the crowd when he blurted out the following at the 2018 Camp Flog Gnaw after his performance,
“I just want to say, Tyler, the Creator is the best friend in the world and I love him so fucking much… Tyler doesn’t want to say, but Tyler’s my motherfucking boyfriend and he’s been my motherfucking boyfriend my whole fucking life.”
This was not the first time that Jade was acknowledging romantic feelings for Tyler as he had previously tweeted in 2015 that he thought he was in love [with Tyler] and that he was still trying to figure his feelings out. It would appear that Jaden’s feelings always seem to be all over the place when it comes to Tyler.
However, Tyler himself has never confirmed nor denied these shout-outs. He has tactfully defected answering any questions suggesting that there may be something going on with himself and Jaden. During all these, Jaden fed more fuel to the fire, and doubled down on the existence of a romantic relationship with Tyler, going further to tag the other in a tweet saying, “Yup. I told everyone you can’t deny it now.”
Tyler has ignored most of these comments, and this has left fans confused as there truly seems to be no real proof of a romance between Jaden and Tyler – not on a sexual level at least. Also, another fact that confuses fans even more, is that Jaden Smith refuses to come out as gay, or even bisexual. In fact, he has been in heterosexual relationships with countless beautiful and famous women. Nonetheless what makes sexuality such a sensitive topic, is that dating girls does not exactly prove or disprove that Jaden is gay. At this point, only Jaden Smith himself can confirm whether he is part of the LGBTQIA or not.
Jaden Smith’s relationship and dating history
One of the most impressive things about Will and Jada Pinkett’s son is his very long list of ex-girlfriends. The rapper cum actor has been linked with a sizeable number of women, most of them Hollywood royalties. Because he prefers to keep mute on rumors about his love life, many of these relationships ended without Jaden confirming them, and so they remain rumors. Below are all the women Jaden Smith has ever been linked with in the past.
Madison Pettis
Madison happens to be the first known girl that Jaden was romantically linked to. It is said that they met each other in May 2010 when both of them were only 12 years old. Jaden also celebrated Madison’s 13th birthday with her. By August 2011 however, they were both done. It seemed like a natural death for their puppy love.
Stella Hudgens
Jaden moved on rather quickly and began dating child actress Stella Hudgens, sister to Vanessa Hudgens. They reportedly met in late July 2011 but began dating in August that year, the same month that Jaden broke things off with Madison. They were off-and-on for a few months and ended things for good in 2012.
Sofia Richie
Lionel Richie and Diane Alexander’s youngest baby girl is also on the list of Jaden Smith’s exes. Both became an item in November 2012 but dated for only three months. This was Jaden’s shortest relationship at the time, and they broke things off in January 2013. Jaden would later say that they were just longtime friends.
Kylie Jenner
Jaden Smith’s romance with the youngest member of the Kardashian clan didn’t get nearly enough attention. It also didn’t get any solid confirmation from either party. It was said to have lasted from March 2013 till March 2014. Within this period Jaden dropped out of high school, while Kylie launched her well-known makeup line.
Amandla Stenberg
Jaden Smith and Hollywood, actress Amandla were an item in 2014. They were inseparable and the rapper even attended Amandla’s prom ceremony as her date. They were both 15 at the time. Unfortunately, as with all Jaden’s relationships, it was regrettably short-lived. They broke up in early 2015.
Sarah Synder
Jaden and Sarah were the teen IT couple in 2015 and 2016. They began dating in August 2015, and although Synder was two years older than Jaden, he was starstruck enough to break his usual 3-month rule and they ended up dating for two years.
Odessa Adlon
The daughter of actors Felix and Pamela Adlon couldn’t resist Jaden’s bad-boy charms, just like every other girl that Jaden has met. She and Jaden dated in 2017 but broke up when he allegedly cheated on her by kissing someone else.
Cara Delevingne
Cara and Jaden were a hot topic in 2019 and 2020. The model and actress met Jaden on the set of the 2017 movie, ‘Life in a Year’ a movie in which they both co-starred. They played lovers in the movie, but rumors began when they also took the romance offset. The two were pictured snuggling and kissing on Valentine’s Day in 2019. Neither of them ever expressly confirmed or denied any romantic involvement with each other.
