MORNING QUOTABLE: Jada Pinkett-Smith On Her & Will Sexing Other Folks Outside Their Marriage?

Jun 23 | by Natasha

Jada Pinkett-Smith called in to WJLB yesterday to do press for the new season "Hawthorne". And when the interview turned to the bedroom happenings of their marriage, she explained the difference between "one night" with someone and having a "marriage" with someone.

Read on for the deets...

When asked if there was anybody else that would be "right" for her and Will and who they would be attracted to, she answered:

"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!"

Peep the audio here. A lot of folks are taking her words as confirmation of the long-time rumor that she and Will are swingers. And that they sex it up with others--together and separately--outside their marriage. But it could also just be her hypothetical answer about whether it could happen that they were attracted to someone outside the marriage.

You be the judge...

The Randomness:

1. Dwyane Wade and Siohvaughn's divorce will finalized by the Chicago judge this Friday. A hearing for custody of the kids is set for July 19th. Story

I am from Detroit and I am

I am from Detroit and I am ashamed of the WJLB morning show right now! Jada did not say anything about her and Will being swingers or having an open marriage. In a nut shell, she stated that her and Will know each other and are comfortable talking about people that they are attracted to with each other...ummm where is the problem? How does that translate into "we have an open marriage" I don't get it?? The sad part is, that was the topic of today's show...smh. Will and Jada have a marriage that we all can learn a little from...b/c obviously they get it!

Exactly! Folks keep up the speculation in order for people to tune in or click their sites. It's not news, it's just people trying to make a buck off salacious allegations. However, Jada and Will seem to know how to keep their names in people's mouths, thus Mrs. Wifey putting pieces of their business in the street. If she knows they're going to make a mountain, stop giving molehills.

i totally agree, that's the first thing that came to my mind. she is absolutely right. women get mad all the time of their man having a wondering eye. people are not blind, and you will always see someone attractive from both sexes, but would you jepordize what you have for just a one night stand. Some do, but most don't want to take that risk, especially like she said they have built a foundation together. I hate that people are always so quick to see or read something and find something negative in it. Honestly, i don't give a damn what they do behind close doors truth is most of us do some pretty damn freaky shit ourselves. As long as it works for you and is not hurting someone else, then live your life and be happy.

I see what she's is saying and no she is not saying they swing. I think she is simply saying just because you get married doesn't mean you will still be attracted to other people and sometimes you just have to play off that make it funny and allow that to each other. I know about all my husband's little "crushes" (mostly celebrities/models he will never meet anyway) and he knows mine will we actually ever try and do something about them no because we are "one" our thing is solid and it's solid because we have an understanding..period

No, she is not saying they swing. But she isn't denying the possibility of them having a "nice night" with persons outside of their marriage. So who knows what they do or don't actually do?

What she's saying is that just because you are married doesn't mean you don't see other people that you're attracted to--and though you may think they might make a "nice night", what she has in her marriage is worth more than that. That's not an open marriage statement, that's a realistic statement from someone that has been married long enoug to understand it.

Doesn't sound like they got where they are within their relationship over night, I am sure it was a work in progress with some humps. I am sure there are some do's & don’ts but when comments are said about emotions not being apart of it then one must be real if they are capable of being in such a relationship, we can't always control our emotions. If two ppl are confident, secure and truly believe in their love for one another then this type of relationship can work because at the end of the day that's HER MAN. Gotta love it!

Marriage can become mundane.

Marriage can become mundane. Marriage also can be stressful. I would be open to the idea IF boundaries were set. As long as no emotional attachments for any outside individuals occurred, I would be okay with it.

This is probably why they are still married

Boundaries don't mean

Boundaries don't mean anything when you open yourself up to mess. You can set boundaries all day, but when you give an open door to foolishness, there will always be consequences to that activity. Marriage can get boring, and stressful and all of that, however, you have to be pro-active in keeping it hot, buy books, look at movies, there are tons of things you can do between you and your mate to keep it fresh. Opening your body and spirit to other ppl is a #FAIL..

Additionally, we don't know them personally so we can't say what keeps them together. I am grateful to know ppl like my parents and grandparents who havent had to do that, to be married happily for years.. their ingredient was God.. This doesnt have to be the option, to make your marriage fun..

Marriage is very much a spiritual thing.. It is something God created.. for a man and a woman. I love everyone, but marriage is meant to be shared with a man and woman..period. If you believe in the word of God it is very clear in how he created man and the animals as well.. Its nature.

I believe in God--doesn't

I believe in God--doesn't mean I believe in your interpretation of his word though. Sure marriage is a spiritual thing--but it's also a human thing-and ALL humans are flawed beings, which leaves open the door to mistakes. Having been married almost 20 yrs this year--it takes work and it takes effort regardless of the love you have for one another. What I admire about Jada and Will is that they "keep it 100" as your post name states. The worst thing you could do in a relationship is walk around with blinders on as if nothing could ever go wrong--that's just naive. Most folks who do that are the ones who end up hurt and disappointed in their spouse.

Wow! Reading way too much

Wow! Reading way too much into the statement. She's stating a fact. You get married but that doesn't mean your senses suddenly die. You will notice and even connect with other people. That's where your brain has to takeover and decide not to cross the line. Saying to your spouse or significant other that you're not attracted to anyone else is a flatout lie, so why say it. Admit it to yourself and your better half and move on. It's not the attraction or even the thought that's bad it's what you do in regards to that thought or attraction that proves your love and devotion. The grass is not always greener. It might seem cool for the moment but the day-in and day-out reality doesn't alway hold up and you realize what you had was what you wanted and needed all along, (80/20 rule). No one can sustain their life and what they have built together better than them as a couple.

This is a prime example of things that are taken out of context. What she stated is the truth when you beome married you do not all of a sudden become blind.

Like it not but there's beauty all around us every day so it's only natural for you to come across someone that you might be attracted to & admire what you deem as beauty however that is a far cry from stepping outside your marriage & the interview did not promote doing so.

Like the old saying goes "Look but don't touch"

Jada & Will stay blessed

I agree with those who say

I agree with those who say her statement is, simply, a factual one. I don't think she intended it to hip us to some taboo habit. Even if they do "get down like that", I am sure they are smarter than to open up the flood gates and let any and everyone think they are available for a free for all. Those who would need to know would surely find out. I think accepting your partner's whole self, including the part that didn't stop seeing beauty and excitement in others just because they commited to you, is a healthy way to keep your self esteem high. It's a matter of perspective. I think the greater your dependence on the approval and acknowlegement of others for something you should know you possess (intelligence, sexiness, humor), the more likely a relationship can be destroyed by what you see as a "challenge" to that. Jada believes that in their marriage there is no competition from the outside, just...other stimuli! LOL!

No, this is not a manifesto in support of sex outside of your marriage. It's not for me. i do think the mentality behind it is not necessarily a sign of low self esteem (as Monique's been accused of), or lack of self control and commitment.

"Do what's best for yours"

"Do what's best for yours" are you kidding me! Come on people, marriage is the closest union to God's heart next to the union of him and his son. I don't know about you but that means a lot. Marraige is a beautiful thing between one man and one woman. Although I don't know if she is confirming they see other people, but the statement alone about someone possibly fulfilling your needs for one night, should not have been said. If you are with the person God destined for you to be with, he has put everything in that one person for you and everything in you for that one person. Need I remind you that the flesh is never satisfied, that's why he urges us to live by the spirit. I hope and pray that no one goes outside of their marriage or "swings" because it's still considered adultery whether you have permission or not. Be Blessed

I think it's great, whatever works for them...I think more women need to learn to talk to their men instead of wearing they heart on they sleeves all the time. My ex used to say "Oh she's cute" when we were watching T.V. or just anything. And if she's cute then I'd give her her props too! I think that's whats wrong with our women we don't know how to be friends as well as lovers. I think Jada is a strong woman that can hold her own. Every relationship is different, everyone is into different things. Whatever works for them!!! I have a friend who's been happily married for 15 years. And they occasionally engage in threesomes. It's just a fantasy for them. Would I do it? HELL NO. But it works for them. So I can't knock it....

Why are people reading into

Why are people reading into this? She's stating a fact, being married doesn't stop you being physically attracted to other people, however that isn't comparable to being in a relationship - end of. There's nothing radical in the statement. There's nothing to read into. It's a redundant post fuelling poisonous and toxic speculation that clearly some people want to perpetuate because clearly the idea of a happily married black couple who can talk openly about these things and not have their relationship implode is clearly too much for some people. The more I read some of the posts and comments on here the more I'm convinced there are some seriously feeble minded/mentally enslaved idiots and fools masquerading as fully functional adults.

I agree with you that she's just stating a fact. My issue is, do we really need jada Pinkett-Smith to tell us it is normal for human beings to be attracted to people outside of their marriages? Is that not common sense? The question/debate is how people address those feelings. My problem with JPS is her sense of grandiosity - she"s always stating some basic shit like some kind of philosopher.
