Jada Pinkett Smith Explains Why It’s ‘Hard’ to Maintain Healthy Sex Life With Will Smith

• Jada Pinkett Smith revealed why maintaining a healthy relationship with husband Will Smith is so hard. 
• She said the couple holds each other accountable to really understand what the other wants out of their sex life. 
• Last month, Will Smith told GQ the couple had an open marriage, saying, “marriage for us can’t be a prison.”

Jada Pinkett Smith explained why maintaining a healthy sex life with husband Will Smith is difficult. 

In a recent appearance on Red Table Talk with guest Gwyneth Paltrow, Pinkett Smith came clean about the realities of her sex life. 

“It’s hard,” Pinkett Smith said of her physical relationship with Smith.

“The thing Will and I talk about a lot is the journey,” she said. “We started in this at a very young age, you know, 22 years old. That’s why the accountability part really hit for me because I think you expect your partner to know [what you need], especially when it comes to sex.”

The couple wed in 1997, and have two children (Jayden and Willow). As Insider’s Olivia Singh has previously reported, both Smith and Pinkett Smith have been vocal about how their relationship has evolved and why they don’t refer to each other as married anymore.

Last month, Will Smith told GQ that the couple aren’t monogamous, saying that Jada “never believed in conventional marriage.”
