Will Smith Will Never Divorce Jada

Posted by Karen

 

On Monday, Will Smith was a guest on Ellen and the pair discussed marriage.  WIll and Jada have been married 10 years, which sadly, is unheard of in Hollywood.

"It's like dog years when you're married here," she said. "That's like 50 years, right?

"What I found is divorce just can't be an option," Smith said. "It's really that simple. And I think that's the problem with L.A. – there are so many options. So a huge part of the success for [Jada] and I is that we just removed the other options."

So how does the couple do it?  "We're like listen, we're going to be together one way or the other so we might as well try to be happy," he said. 

I think more families could take a page from their book!  They really are a lovely family.

Uh, yeah, I heard that they're allowed to sleep with another person as long as they tell their spouse - that's how they make it work. That's weird to me.

Even if it is true that they have an open marriage, who cares?  If it works for them and they have a happy and healthy relationship, then more power to them.  While that would never be an option in my and my husband's marriage, far be it for me to look down on others who find a way to keep their marriage alive.  Too much judgment in this world as it is....

What is marriage if you are allowed to sleep around just as long as the other person knows about it? Doesn't sound like any marriage vow I'd want to take or be part of. I'm sure a lot of marriages would last longer if this were the standard but what kind of quality relationship do they really have then? In this case, the marriage is just a piece of paper b/c they are not keeping vows to love and respect only each other and not anyone else.

This is not a role model I'd want my children to look up to at all.

And who's to say they took a vow to love and respect?

I totally agree with c.  

Enough judgement already, their marriage works for them, and as long as they are safe and healthy, good on them.
