Jada Pinkett Smith Won't Talk Marriage With Friends
Jada Pinkett Smith, the 41-year-old actress and wife to actor Will Smith, recently revealed that she does not confide in her friends about her marriage.
Although some people feel the need to seek advisement from their friends, Pinkett Smith said she believes that it is dangerous to do for her marriage.
"It is dangerous. Intimacy is a very complicated thing," Pinkett Smith recently told RedBook Magazine. "There is nothing I could ever say to anyone that would give them a clear understanding of what happens between us – so why get anyone involved?"

The actress revealed that she believes she and her husband can work out all of their issues by themselves.
"[Will and I] work all that out with each other; that's part of being in an intimate relationship. If you are giving your life to someone and this is the only person you deeply love, then you should be able to come to that person with anything," Pinkett Smith told RedBook. "There shouldn't be a person I need to talk to outside of him. And I don't want my friends, who have a great affinity for both of us, to feel like they have to take sides."
The actress said that other than endanger her children, there is nothing her husband could do to make her want to break their union.
"He's the best warrior you will ever find. What is the thing that Will could do that would make me not love him? That would make me abandon him," Pinkett Smith said. "I can't think of one. I'm sorry. Except if he did something bad to the kids – now we've got a problem. But that's it. We've had such an extraordinary life together."
Earlier this year, Pinkett Smith came under scrutiny when she made some statements that caused some to believe that she and her husband were in an "open marriage."
"I think because from how I've answered questions of 'girl you know what would you do if he came home and this and that [happened]?' or 'being married to a big superstar like Will, how do you deal with other women,'" Smith initially told Dr. Marc Lamont Hill of the Huffington Post. "And I've always told Will, 'You can do whatever you want as long as you can look at yourself in the mirror and be okay."
Pinkett Smith said she would like to rephrase that statement in a later Facebook post.
"Here is how I will change my statement...Will and I BOTH can do WHATEVER we want, because we TRUST each other to do so," the actress wrote. "This does NOT mean we have an open relationship...this means we have a GROWN one."
