Have a look at the wife and net worth of Duane Martin
The two things that have probably made Duane Martin most well-known are his controversial 2016 bankruptcy filing and his previous marriage to actress Tisha Campbell.
In a surprising interview, Will Smith’s ex-friend and assistant, Brother Bilaal, claimed he found the actor in a compromising situation with longtime friend Duane Martin. These revelations follow Bilaal’s decision to go on a “breaking the silence tour” to promote his book titled “WILL SMITH DEMONIC CIRCLE BOOK.”
Who is Duane Martin who allegedly slept with Will Smith, net worth, bio, age, height, wife and kids
55-year-old Duane Martin was born in the United States on August 11, 1965. He is 5ft 10in tall.
He attended New York University. Duane was married to Tisha Campbell but the two got divorced in 2018.
Before starring as Detective Ben Baines on the FOX 26 police procedural series L.A.’s Finest as well as Robert James on the UPN/CW 39 sitcom All of Us (2003–2007), he started his career as an actor on a number of television sitcoms.
Throughout his career, Martin also starred in a number of motion pictures such as Above the Rim (1994), The Inkwell (1994), and White Men Can’t Jump (1992).
Will Smith and Duane Martin
In the interview, Bilaal shared a moment when he walked in on Will Smith and Duane Martin allegedly in an intimate situation. He described finding them in a studio, with Will on a couch and Duane standing, suggesting an intense situation.
These claims follow Jada Pinkett Smith revealing in her new memoir, “Worthy,” that she and Will have been separated for years. It’s worth noting that this isn’t the first time Will and Duane have been connected, despite both actors and their spouses consistently denying such allegations over the years.
Duane Martin, famous for his role in “Real Husbands of Hollywood” with Kevin Hart, initially crossed paths with Will Smith in 1993 while working on ‘Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.’ Before becoming an actor, Martin used to play basketball for the New York Knicks but had to leave the team due to an injury.
Martin, appearing in the episode named ‘It Is Better To Have Loved and Lost It…,’ formed a strong bond with Smith, evolving into a lifelong friendship. Despite ongoing rumors about secret affairs, the two friends have consistently stated that they are just best friends, firmly denying any speculations.
Rumors about Will and Duane started in 1993 when Will played a gay con artist in ‘Six Degrees of Separation.’ Around that time, he befriended Duane on the ‘Fresh Prince of Bel-Air’ set, sparking speculation about a hidden romance. The reasons behind these rumors are unclear and it seems they mainly arose from their tight friendship rather than any concrete evidence of a romantic involvement.
The rumors quieted down for a while after Will married Jada Pinkett Smith, and Martin wed Tisha Campbell. However, whenever there were reports suggesting issues in Will and Jada’s marriage, the old speculations about Will and Duane’s relationship would resurface.
In 2020, the rumors resurfaced after Duane Martin and Tisha Campbell filed for divorce. Campbell posted on Instagram with a cryptic caption, leading some to believe it referred to Will Smith. However, Campbell quickly clarified online, defending Will and Jada and urging people to “Leave them alone.” In December 2020, Duane and Campbell finalized their divorce.
Despite the recent interview where Will Smith’s former assistant made wild allegations, social media seems unbothered by these unverified claims that have surfaced repeatedly over the years.
