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!"

This is the most realistic and honest couple in Hollywood. The world is changing with the highest divorce rate ever mostly caused by adultery and money. If so many people cannot stay faithful, its time to reassess our unrealistic expectations.

Most of the statements are ambiguous. At any rate this is some made up vows that should not be associated with the bible in any shape, form or fashion. How does Jada fit into this picture. Her morals are questionable also. It takes two to form a relationship.

I don't believe it but if its the truth, then we should pray for Will. I think I am disappointed. He really inspired me but not in this way. I won't get inspired instead, I will pray for him. He is too real to get involve in bulls*** like this. He not perfect like everyone else including me but we should call a spade a spade. Will, thats pure sin

I don't know if I want to believe everything I read. I would think Will would have better morals than to just have sex with any woman he is attracted to. When you have sex with someone other than your spouse it is a sin against your soul and body. I want to continue to believe in this couple
and say I don't believe what I read. And i'll keep them in my prayers.

You know what? I think it's beautiful. I'm in a relationship right now and I'm jealous, I wouldn't accept my woman havin sex with other dudes. I just feel like it's plain nasty. It's like you're puttin' your mouth in the vagina that another dude just dropped his dirty penis... damn I can't stand it. But if they reached this open mind state I don't criticize them, it's like a little example of a different perspective in life. Maybe we as humans got to evolve to that, or will we keep on being hypocrites and deny that we feel attracted to other people? It's just that we know that we feel it but we still don't know how to manage it.

Why is the world so interested in telling someone else how to run their lives. Tend to your business and fix your issues. What works for one person may not work for another. God is the only one that can and will judge. People really need to live their lives and stop trying to live out life thru others.

They're only down with it because they're both Bi-Sexual. Aint nothin' hot about an "OPEN" marriage and it definetly aint the norm for married folks. Trust me.

Where is the love in this relationship? If they think sleeping a round is the perfect marrriage as long as they know about it then they are wrong. I love them both but I hope that they are protecting them selves.

I think this is amazing. It is so nice to hear about people living honestly - especially celebrities. I have been living in an open marriage for more than five years now and all I can say is - it works!
Best,

We all knew about it, now they are ready to tell the world...wow is what I say....
Whatever works for you two keep doing what makes you both happy. I just know if I am in a marriage, I couldn't agree to any mess like that. If you love me then I am the only one you should be having sex with, anyone else is just not acceptable.

We already knew this but, they seem to be "outing" themselves a little more now.
