For the first time, Jada Pinkett Smith has spoken out against the many tabloid rumours surrounding her marriage with Will Smith and the couple's sexuality. The superstar wife, in a candid radio interview this Tuesday in Atlanta, laughed off gossip that the way their marriage works is hiding their true sexuality.
"I've heard all the things -- their marriage is not real, he's gay, she's gay, they swing," she said. "But at the end of the day, people have to believe what they have to believe."
The pair -- who are raising children Willow, 8, Jaden, 10, and Trey, 16 -- has no plans to try to convince people of their sexuality at this point in their lives.
"One thing Will and I are not here to do, is like, what's real for us is what's real for us, so you can either get on that bandwagon or not," she maintained. "I'll tell you what, it's too hard to be in a pretend marriage. Life's too short for that one."
