The spotlight was thrust once again on Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith\u2018s marriage this year after the now-infamous Oscars incident, where he slapped comedian Chris Rock for making her the butt of a joke. But the incident overshadowed something that happened earlier in the same ceremony, when co-host Regina Hall appeared to take a dig at the couple\u2019s unconventional marital arrangement. Will and Jada tied the knot in 1997, but for several years, rumours about them being in an open marriage followed them unwaveringly. At the Oscars ceremony earlier this year, Regina Hall seemingly made a reference to this when she said that Will was on her \u2018list\u2019 of eligible bachelors and that Jada had \u2018approved\u2019 it.<\/p>\n<p>Will first spoke about their arrangement in a 2021 GQ profile. \u201cJada never believed in conventional marriage.\u2026 Jada had family members that had an unconventional relationship. So she grew up in a way that was very different than how I grew up. There were significant endless discussions about, what is relational perfection? What is the perfect way to interact as a couple? And for the large part of our relationship, monogamy was what we chose, not thinking of monogamy as the only relational perfection,\u201d he said. \u201cWe have given each other trust and freedom, with the belief that everybody has to find their own way. And marriage for us can\u2019t be a prison. And I don\u2019t suggest our road for anybody. I don\u2019t suggest this road for anybody. But the experiences that the freedoms that we\u2019ve given one another and the unconditional support, to me, is the highest definition of love.\u201d\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/212443307415455899\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/blog_hollywood\/article2630_shop.jpg\" alt=\"\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<div style=\"padding -bottom: 5px; padding-top: 5px;\" align=\"center\"><strong>Related Videos<\/strong><\/div>\n<div><div class=\"epyt-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"display: block; margin: 0px auto;\"  id=\"_ytid_94356\"  width=\"1140\" height=\"641\"  data-origwidth=\"1140\" data-origheight=\"641\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/7JCPszXahgM?enablejsapi=1&autoplay=0&cc_load_policy=0&cc_lang_pref=&iv_load_policy=1&loop=0&rel=1&fs=1&playsinline=0&autohide=2&theme=dark&color=red&controls=1&disablekb=0&\" class=\"__youtube_prefs__  no-lazyload\" title=\"YouTube player\"  allow=\"fullscreen; accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen data-no-lazy=\"1\" data-skipgform_ajax_framebjll=\"\"><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n<p><a class=\"twitter-timeline\" href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/willsmith?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">Tweets by willsmith<\/a> <script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith&#8217;s unconventional marriage has often made for tabloid fodder.
