Why us? That’s what Jada Pinkett Smith has been wondering, after she and husbandWill Smith became the latest star couple to be subject to rumors of marital strife.
Asked why the speculation won’t go away, she tells French magazine Gala: “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.”
She adds: “Will and I know the truth. We’re waiting peacefully for the storm to blow over.”
“These rumors are completely untrue,” she says. “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.”
Asked about the rumor that they no longer live under the same roof, she replies: “That’s ridiculous. We’ve always lived together.”
“As a mom, I’m very proud to see them pursuing the things they love,” says Jada. “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.”
