“We’re going to be together forever,” Pinkett Smith confirmed, adding that she and Smith, 55, had “tried” to stay apart. “I think one of the next stages in relationships is that you really learn how to fully accept yourself, you also really learn how to fully accept your partner.

I love Will just the way he is. I have learned to love and embrace Chris for who he is. And myself too. And that’s the point. We are all here to find out.”
