In an interview with GQ for the November cover, Will Smith admitted that he and his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, at one point in their marriage decided not to practice monogamy (relationships with only one partner at a time).
"Jada never believed in traditional marriage. Jada had family members who had a non-traditional relationship. So she grew up in a way that was very different from the way I grew up," Smith said.
"There were endless important discussions about what relational perfection is? What is the perfect way to interact as a couple? And for most of our relationship, monogamy was what we chose, not thinking of monogamy as perfection. the only relational. "
Smith added that this unique dynamic had worked for them, he would not recommend it to others.
"We have given each other trust and freedom, with the belief that each must find his own way. And marriage for us can not be a prison. I do not suggest our way to anyone. But the experiences that the freedoms we have given to each other and unconditional support, to me, is the highest definition of love. "
Intervistuesi i Smith, Wesley Lowery, shkroi në profilin e tij në GQ se aktori "i shpjegoi me delikatesë" se Pinkett Smith nuk ishte "e vetmja që kishte edhe marrëdhënie të tjera seksuale".
Në korrik të vitit 2020, këngëtari amerikan August Alsina pretendoi se ka patur një lidhje dashurie me Jada Pinkett Smith – bashkëshorten e Will Smith – madje Will e miratoi marrëdhënien. Gjatë "Red Table Talk" ditë më vonë, Jada pranoi para Will se ka patur diçka me këngëtarin, por gjatë kohës që ajo dhe ai ishin thuajse të ndarë. Përsa i përket faktit nëse Will i dha leje të shoqes, kjo e fundit e mohoi duke thënë se "i vetmi njeri që mund të jepte leje në rrethana të tilla ishte vetja e saj".
Jada and Will said at the time that they had done everything to stay away from each other only to conclude that this was not possible. Despite the difficult period, Pinkett Smith said she and her husband have reached the point of "unconditional love".
Will and Jada were married in 1997 and later had two children: a son, Jaden Smith, and a daughter, Willow. During their marriage, they have shown how their relationship has evolved and why they no longer refer to each other as married.
