Jada Pinkett Smith, 40, and husband Will Smith, 43, have been dodging rumors about the state of their marriage since last August.
Mrs. Smith talked about it during a recent interview with French magazine Gala.
When asked why they have been targeted she replied, “I have no idea! Every year, one celebrity couple is under the microscope. This year, unluckily, it’s us! I almost want to say that we should have been expecting it. Will and I know the truth. We’re waiting peacefully for the storm to blow over.”
There is no denying that the two spend a lot of time apart, but Jada said that has always been the case and it’s nothing new.
She continued, “These rumors are completely untrue. I travel a lot because of my work, just like Will does. … But our lifestyle hasn’t changed. Before we had the kids, we were already far away from each other quite often because of separate projects.”
Regarding claims that they aren’t living in the same house she said emphatically, “That’s ridiculous. We’ve always lived together.”
Will is currently working on the M. Night Shyamalan movie After Earth with their son Jaden, 13. Jada will accompany daughter Willow, 11, when she hits the road this summer on tour.
Pinkett Smith shared her child rearing philosophy, “As a mom, I’m very proud to see them pursuing the things they love. We leave them enough space to express themselves and make their dreams come true. We leave them free to make their own choices. We try not to live through them.”
