Jada Pinkett Smith talked about how the coronavirus affected her relationship with Will Smith. Jada made the candid confession on her Facebook page, "Red Table Talk" as she talked to her daughter, Willow, and mother, Adrienne Banfield Norris.
"I want to be honest. One of the things I realized was that I didn't know Will at all, "she (via People) told her husband, with whom she has been married for 23 years.
When asked why she felt this way, Pinkett Smith said: ?Life is busy and you create these stories in your head and then you get caught up in those stories and create an idea for your partner, an idea that has nothing to do with it. ".
She added that she is "going through the process of removing all stories and ideas about Will" in order to better understand her husband.
"This is intimacy," Jada said. "To be able to achieve what our loved ones are beyond what we conceive."
Pinkett Smith said the couple are working together to get to know each other and are trying to build a friendship.
"What Will and I are doing now is being friends. We are in a process where he is learning to love himself, I am learning to love myself in order to build a friendship together. ?
It's not the first time the Smith couple has talked about the importance of "personal choices and pleasures." In one of his videos posted on Facebook some time ago, Will Smith made one of the most beautiful definitions ever of marriage.
"Jada and I were reflecting on love. I asked him what was the unknown thing he had learned about love. He replied that we are not capable and we do not have to make a person happy. I thought it was a really deep idea. You can make a man smile or feel good, but if he?s unhappy, that?s something completely out of your control. I remember the day I gave up. I told Jada that I was giving up trying to make you happy. I need you to be the one to take care of your happiness. Prove to me that you can. And after this idea came to mind, we began to think about the wrong romantic concept of love. We have the idea that after marriage we become one, we are one person, but what Jada and I realized was that we are not one. We are two completely different people, in completely different journeys we had chosen to make the road together. But her happiness is her responsibility and vice versa, my happiness is my responsibility. And so we decided to pursue our dreams and personal pleasures all by ourselves, to find happiness and to be happy in marriage. "It's unfair to leave our happiness in someone else's hands."
Will and Jada met in 1995 and were married 2 years later. They are the parents of 2 children, son Jaden and daughter Willow. Smith also has an older son, Trey, from his marriage to Sheree Zampino (1992-1995).
