Will Smith has always been very honest about his marriage to Jada Pinkett Smith. Some might say the couple has been way too honest about their marriage. In an interview with Gayle King for CBS Sunday morningDuring a conversation about his memoir Will, his long career and the Oscar-nominated role in King Richard, he discussed the persistent rumors about whether he and Jada were fully monogamous.
After spending about seven minutes discussing his humble beginnings and his rise to the top, Gayle brings up “infidelity in her marriage,” to which Smith responds, “There has never been infidelity in our marriage,” he said . “Never. Jada and I talk about everything and we’ve never surprised each other with anything.”
Look, I’m not here to judge Will and Jada’s relationship. If they are happy and healthy, I am happy for them. However, you either have an open marriage or you don’t. The way they keep using catchphrases to dance around an actual label only fuels further speculation, though that may be exactly what the couple wants.
“I’ve decided that chattering about my life can be of use to people,” Smith said. “I think the chatter is the first stage in having a real conversation and being able to really explore whether some of the things in your heart are loving or toxic.”
It’s worth noting that this new openness and publicity push is coming Smith is in the middle of awards season as Oscar front-runner for best actor for the role of Richard Williams in King Richard. Despite the endless “babble” about his personal life, the actor can’t be wrong when it comes to the positives of his career right now.
“Life has gotten really, really easy for me right now,” Smith told King. “I think I’m a better actor than I’ve ever been. And I think… these next 10 years of my career will be the peak of my acting performance. But I also feel like I can help people. There’s a teacher in me trying to get out. I learned how to be happy here and I learned how to create love here. And I want to share.”
King Richard is currently available to rent on Prime Video, Apple TV, Vudu, Google Play and YouTube movies.
