22 Years Together: Will Smith and His Wife Jada Decided to Fight to the End and They Were Right

It's no secret that many famous couples have divorced. First of all, it is difficult to live under the arms of the cameras, and secondly, it is not easy for two famous people to get along. This issue did not spare the marriage of the American actor Will Smith either. Husbands have had to work hard to save the relationship.

Now I remember that the easiest thing, of course, was to break up and thus solve all the problems. But they chose a more difficult path - to fight to the end. And - they were not wrong: today I say that I am not just a husband and wife, but true "life partners".

"What does true partnership mean? Many couples do not understand this - hence all the problems, "said Jada.

"People can love each other deeply and be faithful. But this is not a partnership. A true partnership is when you give your loved one free space so that he or she does not have to pretend to be ideal and holy. The foundation of our relationship is honesty. She is the one who makes them stronger. "

Jada says reaching that level in relationships has not been easy. And they started by talking about it in public. The couple sought to get rid of illusions and show the world the truth, which is far from perfect.

"When our relationship with Will began to break out - we knew immediately where everything was going," Jada said on the show.

"It was a disgusting feeling that this marriage was just killing me. And it must be acknowledged that this has happened. Now I can talk about it openly because I see no reason to pretend and lie to myself and others. I had a hard time. And such an honest conversation became part of the healing. "

"The most important thing is that Will decided to do that. Yes, me too. Although I can't say it was easy and simple ", Jada Pinkett Smith admitted in an interview.

"First of all, we both made a decision and we did not claim in public that we have an excellent relationship. This was not true, and we were tired of living in a lie. We are very tired of all this. And secondly, we decided to discuss everything in public. What is certain is that only one of the partners decides on this and, as a rule, this is a woman. But in our case, it was a mutual decision. I think it was that first step that helped save our marriage. "

The couple has been together for 22 years. Jada and Will became friends and began dating in 1995. On December 31, 1997, they were married. After the wedding, Jada told reporters, "I'd rather give up my career than let it ruin our marriage. "

In October 2018, the star couple admitted for the first time how bad their relationship was at one point.

"It simply came to our notice then that we had to divorce," Will Smith recalls. "My wife told me, 'I can't do this anymore.' Indeed, divorce was an option. "

Then the couple spent two years reaching a kind of general agreement about their relationship. "We had to rewrite the rules and adapt to them. Everything has changed and we have changed. It was a very difficult job for both of us. "

"Now I know for sure that happiness lies in taking care of each other and doing it with pleasure. Well, the most important thing is peace and harmony between spouses. Today I feel this world like never before. And there is no one on earth happier than me. "
