Will Smith’s Open Marriage With Jada Pinkett-Smith: Open To Sex With Others
Posted on July 10, 2008
Will Smith reveals that he has an open marriage with wife, Jada Pinkett-Smith in a UK Magazine interview.
Will Smith, 39, actor and singer, says the secret to his happy 11-year marriage to Jada Pinkett-Smith is maintaining a healthy and “open” sex life.
“Lots of sex. All the time, every day. Just lots of sex keeps me going good!” said Smith, who realized three months into their relationship that his wife was the one for him. “I was very interested that first night, but I was in a bizarre mental space. Three months into it, we were at her mom’s house and it just hit me. I looked at her and just knew this was it.”
Another important part of their relationship is honesty. Both Will and Jada are open about their attractions to other people.
“Our perspective is, you don’t avoid what’s natural and you’re going to be attracted to people. So sometimes we have the discussion: ‘Wow, this or that girl is freaking gorgeous.’ I’m not going to say anything to my buddies that’s any different than what I say to my wife,” said Smith.
Though they have yet to take lovers outside of their marriage, the couple will tell each other if the occasion ever arises.
“I don’t know how I’d feel. But I know I would react better than if I found out about it afterwards,” said Smith, in regards to the possibility of his wife asking to take a lover.
The couple has two children together, 10-year-old son Jayden and eight-year-old daughter, Willow. Smith also has another son, 15-year-old Willard, from his first marriage.
This revelation from Will Smith about his marriage is a bit surprising, especially with Will Smith’s “clean cut” persona? What do you guys think about their “open relationship”?

I think that is crazy, Will just comes off as a womanizer saying oh just lots of sex is the secret, I’m fine if I get lots of it if not I go somewhere else for it. My respect goes down a little for this one.
A marriage is supposed to be sacred, They are defiling their marriage by cheating on each other. It does not matter whetther or not you tell each other that you are going to be with someone else does not matter it is still cheating. You are always going to find other people attactive but that does not mean you should act on it. I don;t care what he put in his vows. He got married under God who says adultery is sin.
This ordeal disturbed me until I heard the whole story. First good thing is that they haven’t gone outside the marriage yet. The bad thing is that they might if the opportunity arises. Well you can believe that or not. I personally think that the opportunity has already arisen and they both have played a part. For the kids sake it’s a little sad but much respect to Will because the truth is the truth and it shall set you free.
They are fooling themselves. This is no way to treat a marriage. I like Will Smith as an actor, but he ain’t the brightest bulb. They think they’re playing a game. Marriage is not a game, and if you want to treat it as such, you are not ready for adult responsibility. To have 3 children and behave in such a way is very irresponsible. If they wanted to carry on this lifestyle, they should not even front like they have a commitment. Happy marriage my ass.
THIS IS TOTAL BS I DON’T BELIVE THIS STORY IT CAME UP A WHILE AGO AND JADA SAID IT WAS A LIE BECAUSE SHES NOT SHARING HER HUSBAND WITH ANYONE AND I REALLY DON’T BELIVE IT ESPECAILLY SINCE ITS COMING FROM A TRASY BRITSH GOSSIP MAG
I met Will & Jada at a party in downtown Buckhead near Atlanta. At first I thought they were very normal…but what started out as a normal luncheon, turned into what can only be described as a Whig revivalist virutal orgy. So many people want to suggest that Will & Jada are Scientologists…well the truth is, they are in fact Whig revivalists. Before 1900s, the Whig Party was a true force to be reckoned with in America. Among their philosophies, Relentless cornfield taxes, An end to All Avaition, A national Ban on fireworks, partial voting rights for the deceased, Horse tarrifs, and of course, open marriages.
When I first read the autobiography of Henry Clay, I almost vomited on the spot. Not only did the man sanction open marriages, he even went so far as to suggest that when a man makes love to his wife, he should not only do it in the presence of others, but charge a small tarriff, even to passers by and other onlookers. A troubling account of a pseudo brothel involving Clay and his wife and a young Crispus Attucks still haunts my dreams to this day. My point is, when an African American power couple gets caught up in Whig philosophy…well let’s just say that swinging is the least of our concerns….
Well, if that is what they want to do, that is their right. I personally think that it doesn’t make sense to be married and then to have sexual relationships with other people. But the reality is that it occurs all of the time: maybe they are just being honest about the reality of marriage (for some people). Personally, I want to have a monogamous, Christian relationship in which I come home to my wife each night and in which we grow old together. I don’t want to be shared nor do I want to share my wife with someone else (either a man or a woman).
I cannot believe that Jada would allow such behavior. I doubt this story’s validity.
People, plz read the entire story and not just the headlines. Will and Jada do not cheat on each other, in fact, they have never taken lovers outside of their marriage.. Therefore although they are frank with each other about their attractions, they have never acted on those attractions for other ppl. They have been and still is 100% faithful to each other… Stop only reading the headlines ppl.
SO WHEN THEY WANT TO COMMIT ADULTERY THEY WILL NOTIFY EACH OTHER…AHHH THAT’S CUTE WHY GET MARRIED IF YOU ARE STILL GONNA BE A HO
Monogamy is NOT natural. It’s an artificial construct of religion. Kudos to Will and Jada for owning up to reality. I know of people in open relationships and polyamorous relationships who are extremely happy. It takes a lot of intellectual and emotional maturity to break the mold of society and create a relationship that works for you. By the way: read the new book by Jenny Block called “Open”. A great look into an actual open marriage!
Its the way the article is worded. Makes it sounds edgier than it really is
Will has already obviously cheated by the way he talks.
