Jewel Harris Smith has reacted to rumours that her NBA husband, JR Smith, is having an affair with actress Candice Patton.
Despite their 3-year-old marriage, Jr Smith has been dating Patton since October last year and even made a now deleted Instagram video showing him playing with her dog and even talking about their relationship.
“It’s a battle, it’s a hurdle,” Jewel said in an emotional video she uploaded to her Instagram page. “It hurts, it’s unfortunate, but it is what it is.”
She went on to pray for JR and her family. She prayed that God will heal JR.
“God, please help and heal my husband,” Jewel prayed.
She also prayed that God will heal Candice for “seeking a married man.”
She prayed: “And Candice… She’s hurting. I pray, Father God, for Candice that you’ll just mend her heart, Father God. For her to go out here and seek a married man. Father God, I just pray that you give her grace and mercy through all of this.”
In response to her prayers, Jr Smith shared on Instagram:
“No weapon formed against me…” he wrote.
