Will Smith reveals how he saved his 19-year marriage to Jada Pinkett Smith

WILL Smith has spoken for the first time about how he and wife had joint ­counselling to save their marriage.

Smith, 47, and Jada Pinkett Smith, 44, have faced a series of troubles throughout their 19-year union, including rumours that they enjoy an open relationship.

Now Smith has told how the couple sought therapy after their marriage reached breaking point.

“I’ve done a lot of marriage counselling,” the Suicide Squad star told The Sun.

“What happens in a marriage once you do counselling, the truth comes out. And you sit across from your wife and you’ve said all of your truth and she has said all of her truth.”

He continued: “You look at each other and you can’t imagine you could ever possibly love each other again now the truth is out. It creates a dark moment. But for me it’s the dark before the dawn.

“When the truth comes out and people have to say who they are and what they think, you get to know who they are. I think that’s the cleansing before you get to the other side that is understanding and moving forward in our relationship.”

Pinkett Smith is Smith’s second wife. They have been married for 19 years. They have two children, Jaden, 18, and Willow, 15, who have both become film stars.Smith has a son, Trey, 23, by his first wife Sheree Zampino.

The Hollywood couple has acknowledged marriage problems in the past, but neither have ever admitted going to counselling together.

Rumours have circulated for years that the pair have an open marriage, with reports Smith was romantically linked with Australian actress Margot Robbie (she denied the allegations on Twitter).

Pinkett Smith appeared to address the claims last year when she said: “At the end of the day, I’m not here to be anybody’s watcher. I’m not his watcher. He’s a grown man.

“I trust that the man that Will is a man of integrity. So, he’s got all the freedom in the world, and as long as Will can look himself in the mirror and be OK, I’m good.”
