The Suicide Squad actor has admitted to having marriage troubles in the past.
When you hear of Will Smith, you don’t necessarily think of fights and rows, it’s dancing, singing and joking like all he did on Fresh Prince of Bel Air.
As part of a long-term marriage however, it’s obvious that every couple have their ups and downs, which can only be increased by the intense spotlight the media inflicts on celebrities.
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett married in 1997 after meeting on the set of the Fresh Prince of Bel Air and unlike most Hollywood couples, the pair have two children, Willow and Jaden and still remain happy together today.
According to The Sun, the Miami singer and his actress wife managed to stay together for 19 years down to one relationship aid – couple’s counselling.
Confessing that their marriage hit breaking point before, the 47-year-old actor told of the power that counselling had on his relationship.
“I’ve done a lot of marriage counselling, what happens in a marriage once you do counselling, the truth comes out.
“You look at each other and you can’t imagine you could ever possibly love each other again… it creates a dark moment. But for me it’s the dark before the dawn.
“I think that’s the cleansing before you get to the other side that is understanding and moving forward in our relationship.”
The couple have been dogged with rumours suggesting they have an open marriage but Will insists it due to counselling that the pair have managed to stay faithful.
