who says marriage has to only be between
two people for some celebrity couples
total commitment to a partner doesn't
necessarily mean giving up the
occasional second lover along the way I
will start with monogamy then commitment
and then I will have the marriage the
marriage comes with commitment unless
you'd like something on the side oh
these celebs have admitted that a
wandering eye hasn't necessarily been a
deal-breaker in their relationships for
better and for worse Big Willy style
Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith have
enjoyed years of open marriage rumors
which they've alternated between denying
and vaguely affirming Pinkett Smith's
told HuffPost live in April 2013 I've
always told will you can do whatever you
want as long as you can look at yourself
in the mirror and be okay a few days
later she clarified her statement on
Facebook writing the statement I made in
regard to will can do whatever he wants
has illuminated the need to discuss the
relationship between trust and love and
how they coexist do we believe loving
someone means owning them do we believe
that ownership is the reason someone
should behave do we believe that the
more control we put on someone the safer
we are what of trust and love she then
closed it out with will and I both can
do whatever we want because we trust
each other to do so this does not mean
we have an open relationship this means
we have a grown one you say tomato
she says tomahto Monique and Sydney
Hicks Monique and her husband Sydney
Hicks have been very candid about their
open marriage in recent years the
precious actress has admitted that it
was her who came up with the idea of
keeping their bedroom door ajar for
other visitors when we first had the
conversation it was because I was still
in the mindset up I'm an entertainer I'm
a performer and I want to have it all so
I said you know what I want to have an
open marriage the only rule between them
she revealed is that they're honest with
one another about
everything and everyone they do Brad
Pitt and Angelina Jolie before their
Messi split in 2016 Angelina Jolie and
Brad Pitt may have had an open
arrangement going on as well
in 2011 Jolie reportedly told a German
magazine quote I doubt that fidelity is
absolutely essential for a relationship
it's worse to leave your partner and
talk badly about him afterwards
neither Brad nor I have ever claimed
that living together means to be chained
together we make sure that we never
restrict each other end quote you don't
dance just part of my coach was lost
quite a bit too
Paula Patton and Robin Thicke file this
one under another alleged open marriage
gone wrong
Paula Patton and Robin Thicke reportedly
had a consensual three-way relationship
with the masseuse as well as flings with
several other women
however Patton allegedly called it quits
with the blurred line singer when the
lines between thick and the masseuse
well blurred and they allegedly had a
separate affair behind Patton's back I
am like every woman loved made me crazy
I was suspicious and I drove all the way
down to his house I got in the bushes
when Howard Stern asked Thicke if he'd
had an open marriage
he replied out of respect for her we
just won't answer that one however he
did later say in another interview that
it wasn't an affair that ended their
marriage we're part because we just
couldn't be together anymore and for a
while you know there's a hundred
different reasons there isn't just one
Shirley MacLaine and Steve Parker
Tinseltown's most lovable weirdo Shirley
MacLaine has revealed that her former
marriage to Steve Parker worked for a
long time because of the fact it was an
open relationship I guess you could say
a practiced and open marriage in 1954
which was what another lifetime no one
understood it we did he lived in Japan
basically I lived in America working and
this nut would meet up always great
friends travel sometimes together I
think that's the basis for a
long-lasting marriage if you really want
to do such a
McClain and Parker were married for 28
years before their 1982 split and she
still refers to him as the love of her
life I'll take the complete dinner
you hold the commitment you hold the
monogamy you just bring me the sex that
way nobody gets in trouble and I get
what I want
Dolly Parton and Karl Dean country music
legend Dolly Parton has been married to
her husband for half a century now and
they might have an open relationship to
thank for their success or maybe not I
always make a joke and people say how
could you rehab know what's your secret
I said well last they gone you be the
judge in 2007 she was quoted to say if
we cheat we don't know it so if we do
cheat it's very good for both of us I
don't want to know it if he's cheating
on me
if I'm cheating on him he wouldn't want
to know it and if we do if that's what's
making it work then that's fine too
Parton later told Oprah Winfrey that her
remarks were taken out of context saying
that just means we let each other be who
we are and how we are but I'd kill him
if I knew he was with somebody we love
people he knows I'm a flirt and a tease
but it's harmless I've never met the man
that would take his place
Ethan and Ryan Hawke Ethan Hawke began
his relationship with his current wife
Ryan while he was still married to his
ex OMA Thurman so it comes as little
surprise that he's open to well openness
while he didn't say so explicitly he did
explain in an interview quote my
relationship with my present wife is
thrilling to me and I've committed to it
but neither she nor I know what shape
the future will come in sexual fidelity
can't be the whole thing you hang a
relationship on if you really love
somebody you want them to grow but you
don't get to define how that happens
they do
he added people have such a childish
view of monogamy and fidelity as opposed
to a recognition that our species is not
monogamous to act all indignant that
your world has been rocked because your
lover wasn't faithful to you is a little
bit like acting rock to that your hair
went gray end quote
it's that monogamy thing rearing its
ugly head again
what noggin II think it's not it's just
a little theory of mine yeah why don't
you keep that to yourself thanks for
