\"When me and my wife went through what we went through and the whole cheating display, my talk with [daughter] Heaven, g------,” he explained. \"That was one like no other. Getting my daughter back, getting my daughter to understand that I’m sorry, that I made a mistake, that was real, to understand, I’m still dad.\"

He said Heaven was \"tough\" on him and still is to this day.

Hart's entire conversation with Smith can be seen in the most recent episode of \"Red Table Talk,\" which is available on Facebook Watch.

Hart stars alongside Alfre Woodard, Frankie R. Faison, Lil Rel Howery, DeWanda Wise, Anthony Carrigan, Melody Hurd and Paul Reiser in the dramedy \"Fatherhood,\" streaming now on Netflix.
