Will Smith, Jada Smith Pickett: The wedding has almost ended

"I think for me the turning point of my relationship is when I was 40," said Jada, 47. "I can not do that anymore, like that."

The revelation was part of the beginnings of season 2 of Talk Red Table, who was released yesterday.

Will, 50, explained that, from 2009 to 2010, in honor of the family – by hosting the concert of the Nobel Peace Prize, Willow's Whipping my hair unique success, Jaden's Karate Kid blockbuster and the main role of Jada on Hawthorne – They were collapsing behind the scenes.

"Outwardly, our family was winning, right? Mom cried for 45 consecutive days, "Will recalls. "I started keeping a journal. It was every morning. I think it's the worst I've ever experienced in our marriage. I failed miserably, but on the outside I was winning. "

Will said that he was building a picture of his ideal family, but he did not realize that Jada was sacrificing himself to fit that picture.

"I thought I wanted to project our relationship, the family and what are my children, what my wife is and what we are in the world," said the actor.

"If there was an individual aspect the most toxic of our relationship in the past, did I think that money and victory had created a good relationship. We succeed in the world. It means that our relationship is good … I did not know what it really meant to be in touch with anyone.

According to Jada, she was afraid of rocking the boat and let many problems go by without consequence.

Elsewhere in the interview, Jada revealed that she never wanted to get married and that her mother, Adrienne Banfield Jones, asked her to get married.

"I was under such pressure, being a young actress, being young. Pregnant. I did not know what to do. I just knew that I never wanted to be married, "said Jada.

Jada is pregnant with her son Jaden two years after dating Will. Barely three months after the beginning of her pregnancy, in December 1997, she unfortunately walked down the aisle.

"I've never really agreed with the construction," she said about the wedding. "I just do not agree with that. I never have. I still do not do it. For death to share with us, is real for me. It's all the rules and all the ideas. "

Will, on the other hand, has always dreamed of marriage and family. "There was not a day in my life where I wanted anything other than getting married and having a family," Will said. "Literally five years old, I imagined what my family would be like."

In the end, they agreed that getting married was the right solution. In June, Jada explained that she and Will no longer considered themselves married, but called themselves partners.
