Jada Pinkett Smith Talks About Her Marriage To Will Smith

The American actress, singer-songwriter, and businesswoman Pinkett related her marriage to a journey. "We have traveled and you've gotta be strong. It takes work you know that!" she said to Howard Stern on a radio program. "Here's the deal, Howard. You've gotta trust who you're with. And at the end of the day, right, I'm not here to be anybody's watcher. I'm not his watcher. He's a grown man." She talked on the fundamentals of their relationship. "Here's what I trust: The man that Will is... is a man of integrity. He's got all the freedom in the world," she dished. "As long as Will can look himself the mirror and be okay? I'm good."
Jada joked that their fame would uncover any alleged affair. "I'm gonna know anyway," she continued, saying not all Hollywood couples were on the same page. "It can sometimes [suck] if you're not clear about where your man is."

At the end of the day, the mother of two said she was assured by one solid fact. "When you can look in your man's eyes and know that he's holding you down and that he loves you," she dished. "Here's what's real: I'm not the kind of woman that believes a man is not going to be attracted to another woman."
In her words "It's so funny when your sons get to those teen years," she said of being stepmom to Trey, 22, and mom to Jaden, 16. "And they're like 'Hey ma, I've got friends coming over.... and my friend is really feeling you.'" She joked that her eldest still asks her to "'tone it down'" with the risqué outfits around their Calabasas, Calif., home. "He's such a sweetheart. I'm like, 'I get it babe.'"

Like Pinkett Smith, her superstar husband was equally honest while speaking to Us Weekly this past February about his high-profile marriage. "Jada and I have struggled with that a little bit. The problem is one person is in work mode while the other person is in chill mode. Then it's like you're both trying to come up," he shared. "And you'll realize that you're either really committed to having a relationship, or you're really committed to coming up. At some point one or the other is going to have to suffer."
