12 celebrity couples with strong marriages

8. Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith

Will has been one of the most “bankable” stars in Hollywood for the past twenty years, but his marriage and family are far more important to him than his paycheck. Will and Jada met on the set of “The Fresh Prince of Bel Air” in 1990 and there was an instant connection. The secret to their success goes for beyond their obvious chemistry. This couple has made it a priority to put family first and that focus has kept them going strong. Their commitment to family was obvious when they left the Academy Awards just before the award was given in Will’s category (the year he was nominated for “Ali”) because the babysitter called and said their little girl wasn’t feeling well. They didn’t even hesitate. They came straight home.
