“MARRIAGE CANNOT BE A PRISON”
The actor has spoken for the first time about the intimacies of his marriage after his wife Jada Pinkett admitted last year that she had been unfaithful to her husband.

It was during the summer of 2020 when Jada Pinkett confessed in her program Red table Talk having been unfaithful to her husband Will Smith with singer August Alsina, who at that time was 23 years old.
The disloyalty had happened four years ago, during a crisis that the couple was going through, and this relationship outside of marriage was a turning point for Will and Jada that led them to rethink the conditions of their marriage.
Although at that moment Jada’s confession went around the world, her husband Will Smith had not released a pledge until now. Only Jada was quick to deny that this affair with the rapper had the consent of the protagonist of The prince of Bel Air, since the young Alsina assured that he had spoken with Smith of the “possibility of entering into an open relationship”.

An open marriage as “the highest definition of love”
Be that as it may, now the singer and actor has given an interview for GQ magazine in which he confirms that for some time his marriage to Jada Pinkett is no longer monogamous.
“We had many discussions about what a perfect relationship is like or what is the successful way to interact as a couple. For a long time, monogamy was our choice but without thinking about that option as the only and perfect way to understand a relationship,” says the interpreter , which has also recognized that have had romantic relationships outside of marriage.
They both seem to have found in the open marriage the perfect balance for emotional stability, an unusual dynamic that Jada had references to. “Jada never believed in conventional marriage. She had relatives who had unconventional relationships and she grew up in a different way than me. “
This new status as a couple has helped them maintain a bond that seems to be getting stronger every day. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett were married in 1997 and have two children together, Jada (22) and Willow (20). “We have given each other full trust and freedom, believing that everyone has to find their own way. For us, marriage cannot be a prison. I do not want to convince anyone, but the experience of freedom that we have given ourselves together with unconditional support is in my opinion the highest definition of love, “he says.
