WHY WILL SMITH AND JADA PINKETT ---- THE LONGEST LASTING MARRIAGE IN HOLLYWOOD ?

Sometimes two people were just meant to be together. That's how it seems with Jada Pinkett Smith and her husband Will Smith, anyway.
Whether supporting each other on the red carpet, cheering on their children in their singing and acting careers or just hanging out – the pair look like two halves of a perfectly-matched whole.
It's a rock solid marriage - based on communication, trust and mutual respect - still going strong after 13 years.

 THIS IS HOW THEY STARTED.....

 Pinkett Smith met Will Smith in 1990 on the set of Smith's television show The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, when she auditioned for the role of his character's girlfriend, Lisa Wilkes. She was considered too short and the role went to actress Nia Long. Pinkett and Smith became friends, however, and began dating in 1995. 

 On December 31, 1997 they get married, about 100 guests attended their wedding at The Cloisters, near her hometown of Baltimore, Maryland. Regarding her marriage, Pinkett Smith said that they are "private people" and told one interviewer, "I will throw my career away before I let it break up our marriage. I made it clear to Will. I'd throw it away completely."

 Pinkett Smith and Smith have two children, Jaden Christopher Syre Smith (born July 8, 1998 in Malibu, California), Willow Camille Reign Smith (born October 31, 2000 in Los Angeles, California). She also has a stepson from Will's first marriage: Trey Smith.

 Smith commented in 2008 on their parenting styles: "We're not strict but we definitely believe it's a very important component for rearing children. It creates safety for them. They understand that they need guidance." Jaden and Willow are attending public school once again. The family resides in a 27,000 square foot (2,500 m²) home, on 100 acres (40 ha), in Malibu.
