Jada and Marc Only Friends
Marc, “I will always love Jennifer”
As you my know Jada Pinkett-Smith, wife of Will Smith has more controversy to add to the rumors of their marriage troubles.
Now that “Hawthorne” has been cancelled, there is speculation that Jada and Marc Anthony husband of singer/actress Jennifer Lopez, who is presently separated, had a special behind-the-scenes relationship. Could this have influenced the decision?
In a recent interview with ABC News correspondent John Quinones which aired Thursday evening, Marc denies any type of sensationalistic events causing the break up.
When asked did he want the divorce, “you know it’s a, it’s a decision we made
jointly, and that’s how I will answer that,” he replied.
Also, Marc made it clear that he, Jennifer, Jada, and Will have been friends for years,
and the real reason for the split was much simpler, “their marriage just no
longer worked, but what bothers me, the effect it has on family,” he said.
Furthermore, Marc was asked about infidelity he said, “baffled and angry,” about tabloid
reports that he broke up the marriage having affairs with flight attendants,
pilots, a guy sitting next to him on the plane, and a rehab in Houston.
Realizing the effects and impact the breakup may have their “children” Max and Emme; Marc will still be daddy to them maintaining that role and his presence.
When asked does he love Jennifer, without hesitation “I’ll always love Jennifer, yea. I’ll
always love Jennifer, she knows that.” “But the importance is that she knows
that,” he said.
Wish them the best.
