For Will Smith and his wife Jada Pinkett Smith, it’s all about putting family first and being by each other’s side. Sounds cliche, but it really does work.

For nearly 15 years, in their case.

“We make the effort to always put the family first,” Smith said at last weekend’s Men in Black III premiere in New York City. “Being there for each other and being present with our kids … I take being a parent very seriously.”

Will is father to Trey, 19, from a previous relationship, and Jaden, 13, and Willow, 11, with Jada. He considers his marriage and children his top priority, and flew back to L.A. from New York nearly every weekend while filming MIB3.

He and Jada will celebrate their 15th anniversary in December.

Despite rumors of their divorce lately – which Pinkett Smith recently said were ridiculous – Will says that, as a couple, they’re as strong as ever.

“What’s helped us is being supportive, no matter what the situation is,” the actor says of his better half. “I’m so lucky to have someone like Jada.”

“She’s really an incredible woman, wife and mother.”

What he loves the most about her is “she is just absolutely hardcore, like she absolutely is unfazed by the weight and the pressures of life. She is so calm and cool and easy in any situation. She can bear anything, and I just love that about her.”
