Will Smith: 'I have an open marriage'

Rex Features

Will Smith has disclosed that he and wife Jada Pinkett Smith often talk about having sex with other people.

Smith, who earlier admitted that divorce wasn't an option for the couple, told Reveal that an open relationship is good for their marriage.

He said: "Our perspective is, you don't avoid what's natural and you're going to be attracted to people.

"And if it came down to it, then one would say to the other: 'Look, I need to have sex with somebody. Now, I'm not going to if you don't approve of it'."

Smith suggested that his marriage would survive a permitted affair because of his and wife Jada's honesty.

He commented: "In our marriage vows, we didn't say 'forsaking all others'. We said 'you will never hear I did something afterwards'. Because if that happens the relationship is destroyed."
