New York: Actress Jada Pinkett Smith has addressed open-marriage rumours which hit her and husband Will Smith, saying "he can do whatever he wants because at the end of the day Will is his own man".
Jada thinks that people get an idea that there is a problem in their marriage because they are very relaxed about it, reported Huffington Post.
"I think people get that idea because Will and I are very relaxed with one another and I think because, from how I`ve answered questions. I`ve always told Will, you can do whatever you want as long as you can look at yourself in the mirror and be OK.
"Because at the end of the day Will is his own man. I`m here as his partner, but he is his own man. He has to decide who he wants to be, and that`s not for me to do for him. Or vice-versa," she said.
The mother of 14-year-old Jaden Smith and 12-year-old Willow Smith also confessed that it is difficult to maintain a marriage.
"I don`t think it`s easy to be married to anyone. I think that you have to go into a relationship knowing - especially when you`re dedicating yourself to someone for the rest of your life - this is a life partnership.
"He`s been by my side through some of the most difficult parts of my life. And so that`s something you can never take away. A lot of other things, you never know, other things might change, but one thing is for sure: I love him deeply and he is my best friend. So then you always have that as your foundation and there`s nothing that can change that. Nothing," she added.
Jada and Will have been hit with numerous rumours related to marital life. In 2011, there was a report saying that she had an affair with Marc Anthony when he was still married to Jennifer Lopez. However, Jada quickly dismissed the rumour via her representative.
