For decades, Will Smith has been married to Jada Pinkett Smith. However, in recent years, their relationship has undergone significant transformations. Will Smith became public about the fact that they now have an open marriage, allowing Jada Pinkett Smith to date other men and have sex with them.
Jada Pinkett Smith recently stated that it is “hard” to keep a healthy sex life with her spouse after so much change in the years of their marriage owing to their open relationship and the growing gap that appears to be separating Jada and Will.
Jada, 50, revealed in a recent Facebook Live session with Red Table Talk that she “tries” to keep close with her spouse. She claimed, however, that having sex with her husband since everything has been going on in their marriage makes her “uncomfortable.”
On Gwyneth Paltrow’s Facebook program, Jada openly discussed her failing relationship.
“The thing Will and I talk about a lot is the journey. We started in this at a very young age, you know, 22 years old.”
Jada said, “That’s why the accountability part really hit for me because I think you expect your partner to know (what you need), especially when it comes to sex. It’s like, ‘Well if you love me, you should know. If you love me, you should read my mind.’ That’s a huge pitfall.”
In order to promote her new Netflix series Sex, Love and Goop, Paltrow was engaged in a conversation with Jada Pinkett Smith. She informed Will Smith’s spouse:
“Isn’t it weird, though? It’s like someone doesn’t read your mind, and we feel crushed.”
Jada and Will got married in 1997. She claims that she “really tries” to live a healthy sex life with her spouse, but it has been a tremendous struggle lately.
“It’s uncomfortable, but it’s deeply healthy, and I think around sex because it’s something that we don’t talk about, and there’s so much fantasy around it.”
Jada Smith has been talking about their open marriage recently. He stated how they determined that they would no longer follow the norm of monogamy but would continue to be married to one another. Smith told GQ, in discussing his and Jada’s open marriage:
“Jada never believed in conventional marriage… Jada had family members that had an unconventional relationship. So she grew up in a way that was very different than how I grew up. There were significant endless discussions about what is relational perfection? What is the perfect way to interact as a couple? And for the large part of our relationship, monogamy was what we chose, not thinking of monogamy as the only relational perfection.”
Will Smith said, “We have given each other trust and freedom, with the belief that everybody has to find their own way. And marriage for us can’t be a prison. And I don’t suggest our road for anybody. I don’t suggest this road for anybody. But the experiences that the freedoms that we’ve given one another and the unconditional support, to me, is the highest definition of love.”
