A real estate agent is someone you trust with your address, your plans and often the intimate details of your life.

For Charlie’s Angels star Jaclyn Smith, that trust became part of a painful marital betrayal.

In her memoir, I Once Knew a Guy Named Charlie, Smith alleges that her first husband, actor Roger Davis, had an affair with the couple’s real estate agent.

According to Page Six’s reporting, the woman helping them find a home was also secretly involved with her husband.

It is an extraordinary property connection to a deeply personal story—and one that centres on the damage caused when trust breaks down.

Jaclyn Smith alleges an affair with the couple’s real estate agent

Smith identifies the agent as Laura in the account reported by Page Six.

She says she learned about the alleged affair from Laura’s husband, Bill, after he made a pass at her. Smith then confronted Laura, who she says admitted the relationship.

“I couldn’t imagine how two people I trusted could have betrayed me, and for so long,” Smith writes.

The shock involved two relationships at once: her marriage and her trust in someone assisting with the couple’s property search.

Smith describes struggling to believe the confession even as she heard it.

The apartment viewing with an unexpected twist

One episode ties the alleged affair directly to an apartment the couple were considering renting.

Smith recalls walking through New York with a friend to view the property when they encountered Warren Beatty. The actor invited her to audition for a film he was working on.

According to Smith, Davis appeared and dismissed the opportunity, telling Beatty that she only did commercials.

Smith says Laura later told her that Davis had been upstairs with the agent while Smith was speaking to Beatty.

What appeared to be a property viewing had, in Smith’s recollection, concealed an intensely personal betrayal.

Roger Davis denied the affair, Smith says

Smith recounts confronting her husband about Laura’s alleged admission.

According to the memoir account reported by Page Six, Davis denied the affair and suggested that Bill’s approach to Smith was part of a game.

Smith initially stayed in the marriage, choosing to give him the benefit of the doubt.

Her account describes the emotional difficulty of accepting something that threatened the relationship she wanted to preserve.

She says she later found Davis with another woman on their fourth wedding anniversary. The couple were married from 1968 to 1975.

These allegations reflect Smith’s recollections. The supplied Page Six report does not include a current response from Davis or the agent.

Why the real estate connection matters

Buying or renting a home can bring an agent unusually close to a client’s private life.

Discussions may touch on finances, relationships, family plans and the future. Viewings and negotiations can involve frequent contact during an already stressful period.

That makes professional boundaries important.

Property Noise has previously explored the consumer side of that relationship in Real estate agent reality check: 43% of Kiwis report problems buying or selling property.

That coverage concerns experiences with property transactions. Smith’s allegations concern personal conduct. They are separate issues, but both underline how much trust clients can place in an agent.

Her story does not establish wrongdoing in the handling of a property transaction or suggest a pattern across the profession.

The real estate connection is significant because, according to Smith, the person helping the couple find somewhere to live was also keeping a secret that undermined their marriage.

Does Jaclyn Smith dislike real estate agents?

The reported excerpt does not establish that she dislikes the profession generally.

It describes her distress over one agent’s alleged involvement with her husband.

A headline claiming that Smith hates real estate agents would go further than the evidence supports. Her account is about particular people and a particular betrayal.

The supported story is powerful enough: Smith says two people she trusted concealed an affair, leaving her struggling to accept what had happened.

A memoir beyond Charlie’s Angels

I Once Knew a Guy Named Charlie was published by Gallery Books on September 8, 2026.

The memoir covers Smith’s life before and after the television series that made her internationally famous, including her career, friendships, business ventures and family life.

The account of her first marriage reveals a painful chapter behind that public success.

For Smith, according to her recollection, the deepest wound was the betrayal by people she believed she could trust.
