Jada Smith and Will Smith’s 25-year-old marriage stands on the pillars of hardships and conviction. While the couple continues to live up to their vows, the two have often made headlines for having an open marriage. The Oscar-winning star may have moved mountains for his lady, but it was she who never believed in a conventional marriage.
The Red Table Talk host may have been less supportive towards Will Smith, especially since the Oscar scandal, but the woman didn’t hesitate to admit once how she tried reconnecting with her husband after a first-hand experience with her male co-stars on the set of Magic Mike XXL. Will Smith has maintained a relatively low profile since his ban from the Academy.
Jada Smith’s Male Co-Stars Helped Get The Hang Of Will Smith’s Behavior
Jada Smith had one of the best times of her life during the filming of Magic Mike XXL in 2015. During a previous interview, she revealed how she learned more about men while doing the feature. The Gotham star admitted how her male co-stars unintentionally taught her to understand her husband’s psychology and helped her to deal with things she never wanted to.
Back in the day, Jada Smith would glam up and visit the set even when she was off work. As she watched her male co-stars indulge in some male bonding in the absence of women, Smith realized how she could have understood her husband better. She said:
“I got to be a witness to how men interact when women aren’t around and the importance of male bonding time because men are completely different with each other than they are with us. Then I got to witness how when their wives and beautiful fiances would come on set, everything changed, and to see a complete shift.”

She once revealed that Will Smith is a “silly man all day long”. She described him as a man who hides behind the door and jumps out. But again, she finds it all cute. But it was only after she did the Tatum-led flick, she started enjoying this playfulness more. She admitted that she couldn’t have tolerated Smith’s behavior if she didn’t have this realization.
Jada Pinkett Smith Learnt To Love The Devil In Men
While Will Smith’s been keeping up with his “manipulative” wife’s tantrums, Jada Smith likes to credit herself for keeping the marriage alive. Providing some relationship advice to her fans, she once revealed how it took her decades to learn the philosophy of “embracing all sides” of a partner. She said:
“Love the god and the devil in your partner, and that’s the truth. You have to be able to sit as close to someone when they’re in the light as when they’re in the dark. You have to be friends.
Having that understanding allows me to look at Will as a man and as this beautiful otherworldly creature and to be able to walk with him hand-in-hand and for him to be able to look at me in the same way, takes a lot of love, and depth, and friendship.”
But again, her words contradicted her conviction after Will Smith slapped Chris Rock, who poked fun at Jada Pinkett’s medical condition during the 2022 Oscars. Some sources revealed that it was his lady love who manipulated the King Richard star, which resulted in the Oscar scandal. She was blamed for ruining his reputation and career.
If we go back in time, Pinkett simply “laughed” when the infamous incident took place. Not only this, but rumors surfaced last year that the duo is on the verge of divorce following the Oscar scandal. Will Smith has since then undergone therapy and remained out of the public eye. While Pinkett continues to portray herself as the perfect wife, Will Smith surely learned to love the devil in her.
