Jada Pinket Smith Speaks On Relationship With Tupac, and Open Marriage With Will Smith

This interview of Jada Pinkett Smith is 2 years old, but I am putting up cos I want to speak on something related to what she had to say. Jada Pinkett and Tupac went to the same Art School in their late teens, and they were pretty close. A lot of people believe that they actually dated, but Jada is letting the world know that they were pretty close friends, but their relationship was a platonic one.

“Pac and I were never in a romance but I feel as though we had those feelings. It was more of a “platonic romance” between each other. We knew us being together in a romantic way would destroy everything because we were both fire. We would burn everything up! So we knew in order to preserve our relationship there was no way we could ever add romance to it cause we probably would’ve killed each other!”

Tupac 'shouted her out' in one of his songs back in the day, and it was more in a respectful way, so i totally believe Jada Pinkett Smith here. She and Will Smith have been married for over 15 years now, and people still cringe when they hear that they are in a open marriage. For those that don't know, an open marriage is when the man and the woman in a marriage are open to see other people if they wish.

Below is what Jada Pinkett had to say about her open marriage with Will Smith-

We always have people that we’re attracted to that we talk about. That don’t stop just because your married. Somebody’s always gonna catch your eye. That’s real. Somebody’s gonna always be prettier than me, and somebody’s always gonna be more in awe of him than me, and he gonna be like *in Will’s voice* ‘yo she really like me’ (laughter) but as far as somebody being right for us… is there somebody right for a nice night? Maybe. But somebody that can sustain our life and sustain what we’ve built together, absolutely not!

This is really a "NO-NO" for a lot of people, but let me play devil's advocate for a bit. 99.9% of men are going to cheat anyway. I remember driving my parents down to see my mom's uncle a couple of years ago. We met another couple there, and they started a discussion of their old days. They spoke about a lot of things, but it surprised me when my mom's uncle (who was in his early 80s at the time) spoke on a time when he was cheating on his wife, and then the other men narrated their experiences, and how they went through hell at that point with their wives. But the shocker was that their wives were there, and they all laughed about it.

I think marriage is like a cage to most men, and men don't like to be caged. I'm claustrophobic, but sometimes I can stay in my little room, reading for 8 hour stretch. But if my brother told me he was going to lock my room door for just 30 minutes, I would freak out within 5 minutes. Considering the rate at which Hollywood marriages end in divorce, it is worth looking into how Will and Jada's marriage has lasted over 15 years...with two lovely kids to show for it.

Please note that I am not advocating for open relationships/marriages, I am just being scientific with some of my findings. lol!
