NEW YORK, June 4 (UPI) -- Jada Pinkett Smith says her "open" marriage to husband Will Smith is based on trust. The 43-year-old actress discussed her relationship with the 46-year-old actor Wednesday on The Howard Stern Show. Pinkett Smith famously said she and Smith can "do whatever [we] want" in 2013, but told Stern neither she nor the actor abuse the privilege.

"You gotta trust who you're with, and at the end of the day, I'm not here to be anybody's watcher," she explained. "I'm not his watcher. He's a grown man, and here's what I trust: I trust that the man that Will is is a man of integrity, so he's got all the freedom in the world."
"As long as Will can look at himself in the mirror and be okay, I'm good," she declared. "I've been really lucky. He's talented and he's just a man of great integrity ... Just because your man is attracted to another woman does not mean he doesn't love you ... and it doesn't mean he's going to act on it."
Pinkett Smith and Smith met when the actress auditioned for The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air in 1994, and started dating in 1995. The couple married in December 1997, and welcomed son Jaden in July 1998. Daughter Willow followed in October 2000.
Pinkett Smith recently portrayed Fish Mooney on Fox series Gotham, and will next star with Channing Tatum in Magic Mike XXL. Smith last appeared with Margot Robbie in Focus, and will reunite with the actress in DC Comics film Suicide Squad.
