The rumor is that they are both bi.

It's just people desperate to be in the public eye and being willing to do anything to stay there. I agree with what you guys said too, it's a private matter that should remain private for the sake of their family.

on the other hand, it could be that they're not the least bit ashamed of their open marriage, they believe in it wholeheartedly, and they want to make it a matter of public record so nobody is ever shocked when the paparazzi happens to catch one of them "out and about", so to speak. i do kinda think this is a bit much to expose their children to, but again - maybe it's something they discussed with their kids and they explained it as a natural part of mommy and daddy's relationship. if they've got it all worked out and they're happy with their arrangement, then hey. more power to them. it's got to take a lot of confidence to be so public about it.

Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have been rumored for years to have a very open marriage but it was never confirmed by the couple – at least until now.

According to a recent interview with UK magazine Reveal, Will Smith says "Our perspective is, you don't avoid what's natural and you're going to be attracted to people."

As one of Hollywood’s most powerful couples, the Smith’s 10 year marriage rivals that of many Hollywood relationships that have since fizzled out.

According to the magazine Smith says their open marriage has been in place since day one of their marriage. "In our marriage vows, we didn't say 'forsaking all others'. We said you will never hear I did something afterwards'. Because if that happens the relationship is destroyed."

The “Hancock” star goes on to say "if it came down to it, then one would say to the other: 'Look, I need to have sex with somebody. Now, I'm not going to if you don't approve of it'."

“If it ain’t broke don’t fix it,” the Smith’s have surpassed 10 years of marriage and show no signs of calling it quits anytime soon.

Other things that Will says are important in his relationship are keeping in shape for his "little firecracker" Jada, the "look in her eyes", and communication.

"And lots of sex makes for a good marriage too!"

I heard it from a couple of "industry" people. BUT, I don't know first hand so it could be just a rumor.

I just get the feeling that Jada gave in so Will wouldnt stray and then decided to join in herself.

Well whatever floats their boats! Open marriage/swinging I guess if it works who are we to judge!

I just get the feeling that Jada gave in so Will wouldnt stray and then decided to join in herself.

I wonder if their kids are his then?

i get the feeling that many open marriages are that way.

menage trois with Jada?

damn, that Will is one lucky dude!

JasmineFire said:

I think so too, not for everyone in an open marriage but a fair few. Or maybe shes the one who knows, but more to the point, Ill bet this has inspired many women to think they stand a chance with him...actually I think hes just advertising his availability.

I can almost hear all the perfume being squooshed on and hair brushed as we speak.

Anxiety said:

I hear your point, but the ironical thing about it is that I've never seen pictures of either of them with other "people" other than other married couples which is where I think a lot of the rumors stem from. Maybe that's how they keep their shit on the low.

LleeLlee said:

so i guess the score is: Men - 0 Old women who have told me to never get married - 3

SCNDLS said:

well, maybe they "keep their shit on the low" with the other people they see because they feel like just because they're public figures, the people they mess around with don't need to be dragged into the spotlight. who knows.

LleeLlee said:

I've heard him comment on her "open-ness" before and her response seemed to not exactly confirm what he said. She didn't openly agree or disagree. I think Will thinks something and runs with it, assuming everyone is on board.

Maybe she accepts it, but is not quite as enthused as him. But then is anyone as enthused as him about anything?

JasmineFire said:

Its hardly a great advert for marriage, that is assuming you believe marriage means monogamy (which most people do, apart form the ones who have .."modern" marriages). Personally I dont see the point of these two being married and not just co-habiting. But lets say they are redefining what marriage is/can be, or something like that.

NDRU said:

who knows, few women willingly share their husband, this much I do know.

LleeLlee said:

That's what I don't get either. Why involve the government if you're going to be messing around anyway? Especially when there are substantial assets on the line.

SCNDLS said:

For the kids maybe?

LleeLlee said:

yes, and I think the few that allow them to "do their thing" just weigh the options of losing them entirely vs. letting them mess around.

LleeLlee said:

So, they get married to keep things respectable for the kids but then they tell the world they have a freaky deaky marriage?

Oh no...the Smiths and the Cruises are friends.




Will and Tommygirl.
