Noted Hollywood star and heterosexual Will Smith appeared on Ellen DeGeneres' television show on Monday to discuss – as Ellen is wont to do following some little California court ruling – marriage. Ellen, as you might have heard, plans to marry girlfriend Portia de Rossi, and so that is all she can think about, even if her writers might have put other talking points on her cue cards. So how has Smith, who is married to heavy metal singer Jada Pinkett, kept his marriage going strong for 10 years?
"What I found is divorce just can't be an option. It's really that simple. And I think that's the problem with L.A. – there are so many options. So a huge part of the success for [Jada] and I is that we just removed the other options. [...] We're like listen, we're going to be together one way or the other so we might as well try to be happy." [People]
Uh huh. So the secret to staying married is convincing yourselves staying married is the only option, whether you're happy or not? Because then, oh we don't know, somebody else might suspect you were two raging homosexuals? Sounds like a L. Ron Hubbard mantra if we ever heard one.

He's always felt like that… I remember reading an interview with him after Jada got pregnant the first time and he talked about how he didn't believe in divorce because of his parents' divorce. The interviewer pushed him on the issue and he said he never would have divorced his first wife if she hadn't initiated it, and when the interviewer asked if he still believed that, even though it meant he wouldn't be with Jada, his "soul mate" he said that's what it meant. So as much as you'd like to pin this one on Scientology, instead of evolving as an adult, he's just clinging to his childish views of divorce as "bad."
I see nothing wrong with what he said, as long as abuse isn't involved and there ARE children involved.
Your so desperate for Will to be gay and a scientologist that you manipulate stories to enhance that view. This site is pathetic! You are sad, disgusting people who prey on others by spreading lies and heresay.
I see nothing wrong with his comments. I think it shows his commitment to work through problems, as opposed to just calling it quits. I actually find that the more adult option (and I can say that after being married almost 16 years).
whateva he just got outed in that new hip hop book and everyone's suspected it for the longest….he is so gay! He'll stay with Jada so she doesn't spill the…beans.
Does Mollygood spread lies and hearsay or lies and heresy? I don't think Matt made it clear. Perhaps he was looking for a hearsay/heresy combo.
If you saw the entire episode of Ellen, you may have noticed how uncharacteristically uncomfortable Will Smith seemed to be. The oddest moment being when he told his story about Ellen overhearing his comment to Jada that "he was going to tear that thing up." I've seen him on many talk shows before and he has never acted this way. I've heard the rumors also. I continued to doubt the rumors until this "performance" on Ellen.
"The lady doth protest too much, methinks."
I am a fan of Will Smith because of his values and him in general. He raps without cursing, his speech is correct, his is respectful to his wife and family ( what the public sees ). His image is healthy and decent. So, does that make him gay? Jealousy is ugly, get over it!!!
I think that Will Smith and his wife and a match made in heaven. I think that they would not look gud with each other. So all that i am saying is stay in love foreva. Love ya Both you number one fan Nitche Latoya Perry
I THINK THAT PEOPLE ARE SO EAGER TO SEE HOLLYWOOD COUPLES DOING BAD THAT THEY THINK OF ANYTHING TO WHISPER AND SPREAD RUMORS ABOUT. Instead of trying to tear this couple down all you negative talkers should try to appauld will and jada's effort to provide a loving safe nuturing home life. Stop hating on Will. Besides if Will is gay, cheating, a lier, a flirt, whatever that is his and Jada's business not yours.
