Will’s intimacy coach Michaela Baum asked him to name a few people that he had interest in. Smith went on to name drop actress Halle Berry and ballet savant Misty Copeland.
“I don’t know where I saw it or some sh*t as a teenager, but the idea of traveling with 20 women that I loved and took care of and all of that, it seemed like a really great idea,” He said.
The Fresh prince himself referred to this sit down as a mental exercise. “What she was doing was essentially cleaning out my mind, letting it know it was okay to be me and be who I was,” he explained.
Being deeply in tune to his faith, Will Smith had to unlearn that his desires of being attracted to Halle Berry were sins.
“It was okay to think Halle is fine,” the 53-year-old said. “It doesn’t make me a bad person that I’m married and I think Halle is beautiful. Whereas in my mind, in my Christian upbringing, even my thoughts were sins. That was really the process that Michaela worked me through to let me realize that my thoughts were not sins and even acting on an impure thought didn’t make me a piece of sh*t.”
Will shared that his relation with Jada first started out being monogamous, but now things have changed.
“Jada never believed in conventional marriage,” he said. “Jada had family members that had an unconventional relationship. So she grew up in a way that was very different than how I grew up. There were significant endless discussions about, what is relational perfection? What is the perfect way to interact as a couple? And for the large part of our relationship, monogamy was what we chose, not thinking of monogamy as the only relational perfection.
“We have given each other trust and freedom, with the belief that everybody has to find their own way. And marriage for us can’t be a prison. We have given each other trust and freedom, with the belief that everybody has to find their own way. And marriage for us can’t be a prison.”
