Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have been giving Hollywood marriage goals for decades. The couple had stood tall against all the highs and lows of their life and simultaneously built a beautiful life together. The actors met on the sets of Smith’s popular show The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, where she could not win the role but won his heart.

Will Smith opens up on his special bond with Jada Pinkett Smitt
One of the biggest stars of Hollywood, Will Smith, is also a loving husband and a caring father. The actor knew very early in his life about the importance of loyalty. In a 1996 interview with Movieline magazine, he shared about a childhood incident where he was robbed at knife-point. However, his sister came to his rescue with a baseball bat and helped him search for the attackers.
Will Smith recalled,
“We never found the guys, but that type of love and commitment is what I search for. My mother and my grandmother? That same kind of unconditional love. All women have organs. But that’s not what excites me about being in a relationship with women. That’s not what makes me feel good.
What I want to know is, ‘Are you gonna grab a bat when someone steals my money?’ Now Miss Jada’s so little, she might need two bats. But she’s more than happy to go grab ’em. Outside of our love relationship, she’s my best friend, too.”
It seems Will Smith got the loyalty that he was seeking with his wife Jada Pinkett Smith. They are among the strongest going couples in the industry and never left each other’s side over decades.
