Jada Pinkett Smith has finally addressed the rumours that she has an open marriage with her husband Will Smith.
Pinkett Smith, who tied the knot with Smith in 1997, admitted in an interview with HuffPost Live that the speculation is the "most persistent" rumour she hears about her relationship.
Asked if it is true, she replied: "No. I think that people get that idea because Will and I are very relaxed with one another.
"From
how I've answered questions - 'Girl, what would you do if he came home
and this and that and that' or, 'Being married to a big superstar like
Will, how do you deal with other women?' - my answer always is I've
always told Will, 'You can do whatever you want as long as you can look
at yourself in the mirror and be okay'."
Pinkett Smith continued:
"At the end of the day, Will is his own man. I'm here as his partner,
but he is his own man. He has to decide who he wants to be and that's
not for me to do for him or vice versa."
The actress added that
the same is true for her behaviour, saying: "I think that just comes
from respecting that you're in a partnership but that you also are an
individual as well."
