In the latest issue of IO DONNA Magazine, Jada Pinkett Smith comments on her unconvent-
ional way of parenting star kids Willow and Jaden. And she reaffirms that she and Will are
very happy and will always be together. Here are the highlights:
On what Willow and Jaden are busy with right now:
“Jaden is going to Philadelphia with his father for ‘After Earth’, directed by M. Night Shya-
malan. Willow continues to sing. After ‘Whip My Hair’ and ‘Fireball’ she has two new albums
out and a movie we’re producing ourselves. We are actually preparing for her remake of the
musical ‘Annie’.”
On what she’s got going in the near future:
“I can not wait to go to Cannes! I’ve always had great fun at the festival. For the rest I do not
know what I will do in the coming months, my schedule does not go further than two weeks.
In this period it was hard to split my time between the project of ‘Annie’, the work of Will, to
my brother Caleb and James Lassiter – our production team – and the family routine. It is a
continuous race … he who hesitates is lost.”
On if her kids decide to take a path away from the public eye:
“Sure, they are very young. Willow could one day decide not to have anything to do with the
entertainment world. And the same thing could happen to Jaden. At that point, however,
both will be able to get what they want.”
On rumors that she and Will are having marital issues:
“For us nothing has changed: it is the same life as before. When Will is working on a project,
I usually have to take care of the boys, but now he is with Jaden because they star in the
same movie, and Willow is with me because I’m the producer of her albums and I follow
her into the recording studio. Tonight I leave for Philadelphia, going to see Will and Jaden,
kiss them, hug them and then return to Los Angeles.”
