Sheree Zampino would never let a diamond get in the way of her relationship with ex-husband Will Smith and his current wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
The “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star, 54, exclusively tells Page Six that she would bow out the reality series if Pinkett Smith, 50, ever signed on as a cast member.
“Honestly, I wouldn’t do the show with Jada,” Zampino reveals. “I would never want to jeopardize what we’ve built. I wouldn’t even take that chance.”
Since divorcing Smith, 53, in 1995, the “Hollywood Exes” alum has maintained a healthy co-parenting dynamic with the Oscar-winning actor. The former couple shares 29-year-old son Trey.
Arguably more impressive, though, is Zampino’s enduring friendship with Pinkett Smith.
Sheree Zampino tells Page Six that she values her relationship with Jada Pinkett Smith too much to ever let reality TV ruin it.
The women have seamlessly blended their families — including Smith’s younger kids, Jaden, 24, and Willow, 21, with the “Red Table Talk” host — and frequently gather for holidays and special occasions.
But Zampino — who joined “RHOBH” this season as a “friend of” — says she makes a concerted effort to never “blur lines” with Pinkett Smith.

“You have to keep the main thing the main thing and those are our children. It’s about making it work for their well-being,” the Sheree Elizabeth Boutique founder says of the trio’s partnership that is full of “grace, love and respect.”
Zampino continues, “We’re family and we’re at functions. But Jada and I, we don’t go to happy hour and hang out.”

And they certainly wouldn’t grab cocktails in front of Bravo cameras. However, Zampino tells us that she is open to the idea of Pinkett Smith and Smith making future “Beverly Hills” cameos should her role expand to full-time status.
“You can never say never,” she says of potential appearances made by the A-list pair.
In the meantime, Zampino isn’t sure Smith and Pinkett Smith have even watched her “Housewives” debut.

“I think for me, it seems like I’m bragging,” she says, explaining why she can’t even bring herself to ask if they’ve tuned in.
“My son will say, ‘Mom, that’s a construct. That’s just a construct.’ … The reality is, is people that care about me and love me want to know what I’m doing,” Zampino elaborates. “They don’t want to have to hear about it from somebody else, so I have to work on that.”

“The first episode I’m talking about my vagina!” she points out with a laugh. “So, it’s like, my dad’s watching. I’m like, ‘Oh my God, what have I done?’ You know, it is what it is.”
