{blackbabes} Jada Pinkett Smith is really pragmatic about Will and other women

Will Smith has "all the freedom in the world" when it comes to other women, says his wife of nearly 18 years, Jada Pinkett Smith.

Addressing the persistent, years-long rumors that the couple has an open marriage, the actress this week told Howard Stern, "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 is a man with integrity. 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," she said.

The "Gotham" star, who shares two teenage children with Smith, says it's unrealistic for a man not to be attracted to other women. But she emphasized that doesn't mean he'll go ahead and act on those impulses, her husband included.

"You know what, Howard? Here's what's real. I'm not the kind of woman that believes that a man's not gonna be attracted to other women … It's just not realistic," said Pinkett Smith, 43. "And just because your man is attracted to another woman doesn't mean he doesn't love you. And it doesn't mean he's gonna act on it."

She added, "If your man can't really see another woman's beauty, how the hell is he gonna see yours? … You have got to be human and be who you are."

Her interview echoed sentiments expressed in 2013, when she said she and her longtime partner, 46, have a "grown" relationship.

Also in the interview with Stern, Pinkett Smith noted she got married "too damn young." "Thank God I have a husband who's just a gangster partner because can you imagine? Taking that road together from 25 to 44? … You've got to be strong."
