Stephen A. Smith Explains Why Marriage Was Never in His Plans
Stephen A. Smith, ESPN’s biggest star, recently revealed why marriage doesn’t fit into his life—and his honesty shocked many fans. Speaking on Cam’ron’s Talk With Flee podcast, Smith admitted his demanding career and constant travel left no room for a lasting relationship.
Known for his tireless work ethic, Smith said he works nearly 330 days a year, with about 200 of those spent on the road. The brutal schedule, he explained, made marriage unrealistic. “I was on the road 200 days a year. There was no way I could have been faithful. Why take vows I knew I couldn’t keep?”
His blunt confession sparked strong reactions online. Some praised his honesty and self-awareness, while others mocked him. One fan joked, “Just say you like money and women,” while another criticized, “Men who wear sunglasses indoors can’t be trusted.”
Still, the debate lingers—could Smith’s views change if he met someone who could handle his high-pressure lifestyle? For now, the ESPN host remains committed to his first love: the job.
Stephen A. Smith says he works 330 days out of the year, which is why he has never been married.
