Will Smith Talks about Marriage with Jada Pinkett Smith


The actor credits his wife for pushing him to be a better person. If there were ever rumors that Will Smith and Jada Pinkett-Smith were on the path to divorce, the actor is squashing them in his latest interview with Necole Bitchie. Smith talked about his marriage with the actress and why a relationship isn’t automatically easier when you earn more money.

“I think a lot of people think that when you have money, that everything gets really easy. Hell Naw!” Smith said. “Jada and I have been together for 17 years. If you look at it like a sports record, we are probably like 15 and 2. When we got started, we both truly connected on wanting to be better. That’s where it all started. There were other people that we were dating and other people that we were attracted to, but there was a commitment to constantly be better that was what we connected on. Our whole world and relationship was that, ‘Hey, I know that I may not be all of that today but what I’m not going to do is lay around and not keep working to be better to deserve you.”

2Face and Annie's ‘Love Story’: How they met at age 15, how they suffered etcetera


Nice! After all the ups and downs, the breakups, cheating and all; they still ended up together!

How They Met
Annie first met 2face Idibia at Even Ezra Music Studio when she was just fifteen and in her words, “I think there was some electricity that second.”

They were friends first but had started dating officially by the time they shot the “African Queen” video in 2004. That was when 2Face announced that they were together during an interview.

I remember my 16th birthday at Alpha Beach, with me and my friends. When we were going home, we all walked to the bus stop with him and his cousin. Plantashun Boiz had just recorded “Knock Me Off” at the time so he wasn’t a star yet.

But the entire nation had Oduamadi to thank for not missing the last minute opportunity that fell on his path. He zipped in a re-bound on the dot of 90 minutes to bring the game level. There was no celebration as the Eagles players and their coaches seem drained by the encounter.
