Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have been together for 25 years, and throughout their relationship, they have experienced many challenges but managed to keep their bond strong. Smith has publicly shown his love for his wife by defending her against jokes made by Chris Rock while hosting the Oscars.

The couple has been open about their sex life and revealed that Jada Pinkett Smith does not stop Will Smith from having affairs as long as he follows a specific condition. In a 2021 interview with The Mirror, Will Smith admitted to having sexual fantasies about other women, but it must be someone he does not know. He explained, “Part of the deal is that it can’t be women I know. It has to be women at a distance, so as soon as I get to know them, I have to give them up.”

Jada Pinkett Smith And Will Smith Do Not See Marriage As A Prison

In a 2021 interview with GQ, Will Smith revealed that he and his wife do not see their marriage as a “prison.” Jada Pinkett Smith did not believe in conventional marriage and grew up with family members who had an unconventional relationship. The couple had endless discussions about what relational perfection is and what the perfect way to interact as a couple is. For the most part, they chose monogamy, but they do not see it as the only relational perfection. They give each other trust and freedom, believing that everyone must find their own way.

The couple reportedly took this step because they were both miserable and needed a change. However, Smith does not suggest this method to anyone else.

The Couple’s Relationship And Marriage

Will and Jada Smith met in 1994 on the set of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. They instantly connected and started dating. They got married in 1997 and welcomed their first child, Jaden Christopher Syre Smith, a year later. Two years after that, they had their second child, Willow Camille Reign Smith.

In 2013, the couple revealed that they were facing issues in their marriage and decided to have an open marriage. Since then, they have had their fair share of marital problems but are still together.

In 2022, Will Smith slapped Chris Rock for making a joke about Jada Pinkett Smith’s bald head while hosting the Oscars, causing trouble for Smith.
