Personal life

Smith now resides in Los Angeles, CA - where he shares a son with his former partner Karla Bell. Smith and Bell were never legally married, but had a small ceremony with family and friends. They later separated due to infidelity. Although separated, the two continue to live together in their home in Los Angeles. Bell remains adamant that the two are still married - although Smith has vehemently denied a romantic relationship with her and does not claim her publicly. This unconventional living situation caused tension in Smith's relationships after Bell - specifically one with a woman he was with after Bell for 5 1/2 years. That relationship would go onto end due to infidelity as well - a common theme with all of Smith's romantic relationships.
