Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith reject monogamy and embrace affairs: 'We don't want to feel like our marriage is a prison'

Hollywood actor Will Smith spoke openly about his marriage to his wife Jada Pinkett Smith and revealed that at one point in their relationship they decided they would no longer be monogamous.

"Jada never believed in a conventional marriage ... Some members of her family had an unconventional relationship," the actor told American GQ, adding: "She grew up in a different way than I did because of that. We had several long discussions. about what a perfect relationship is. What is the ideal behavior for couples? The longest period of our relationship came down to monogamy, but we didn't consider it the only perfect relationship. "

He also said that this way of love is not for everyone.

"We have given each other trust and freedom because we believe that everyone should find their own way. And marriage should not be a prison for us. But understand that our example is not for everyone and I do not recommend it to everyone. But the freedoms I have experienced and which we have given to each other, as well as unconditional support, for me, are the highest definition of love, ”the actor explained.

Last year, Will and Jada spoke candidly about her relationship with singer August Alsina, 27, who is a friend of her son Jaden, and because of which their marriage was going through a difficult period and they were ‘even broken up’. The actor admitted that at the time he thought he was done with her, while Jada added that they then decided to ‘separate for a while’. But Will Smith admits that his wife isn’t the only one to have sex with other people. Still, he didn’t want to go into details because his way of thinking has changed over the years.

He also referred to his earlier sexual fantasies about having a harem of famous girls. He even talked about his idea with intimacy coach Michaela Boehm, with whom he made a list of potential candidates he planned to contact, but eventually realized that the idea was ‘terrible’. His list included actress Halle Berry and ballerina Misty Copeland.

However, Will still found it useful to discuss his fantasy in detail. "What I did with the intimacy coach cleared my mind and let me know that it's okay to be me, to be who I am. It was okay to think Halle Berry was hot. I'm not a bad person if I'm married and I think Halle is beautiful. My thoughts are considered sins in Christian upbringing. It was one process that Michaela guided me to understand that my thoughts are not sins, and even my actions due to unclean thoughts do not make me an asshole of a man, "the actor explained .
