Will and Jada Pinkett-Smith have been married since 1997. Going into their 16th year of marriage, they have graced plenty of red carpets. Check out their style and a few quotes from each over the years.
“If you don’t have a purpose for your relationship, if you don’t have a place that you’re going, something that you want to accomplish, something that you want to do, you can really get lost in the murk of the journey. There has to be a vision.”
Pinkett-Smith on realtionships:
“My belief is that communication is the best way to create strong relationships.”
“Women, you can have it all – a loving man, devoted husband, loving children, a fabulous career.”
Will on raising three kids:
“It is the excruciating parental pain of having to let your kids go, and you just have to hope that the lessons you’ve instilled will kick in at the right time. We don’t own our children, you know. They own themselves.”
Will on their kids in the business:
“It may seem like we have pushed our kids into the business, but that is absolutely insane. I would never, ever, push somebody to have their face on a poster that going to be everywhere in the world. At the end of the day, it has to be their choice.”
Pinkett-Smith on their kids in the business:
“Once we started to see how the children were growing and, you know, Willow and Jaden and Trey were becoming their own beings we decided, ‘Okay, we want to make a family business. How do we incorporate all the talent that we have in this family?’ So that’s our vision — to create a place where their dreams can come true as well.”
Pinkett-Smith on their marriage:
“I’ve heard all the things — their marriage is not real, he’s gay, she’s gay, they swing. But at the end of the day, people have to believe what they have to believe. I’ll tell you what, it’s too hard to be in a pretend marriage. Life’s too short for that one.”
Smith on their marriage:
“Jada and I have problems; everybody has problems. People ask, ‘What happens if you made a mistake?’ Well, you should be a little more careful before you stand up in front of God and your family and friends and say, ‘Till death do us part.'”
