I wouldn't be surprised if this was a common thing among celebrities.
The fact of the matter is that your options for sex open up greatly when you become famous and you may not necessarily want to part with your significant other, so you work it out.
Good on them for being open about it.

This thread will definitely not be bumped in the future when they inevitably split.
Is she swinging too or is she just putting up with his ways because hes a rich celebrity. The context of the interview seems to be all about his actions but I could be reading it wrong.
I imagine having a sexually satisfying (and faithful) relationship as an actor/entertainer must be really difficult, especially if you're both in the business and constantly flying all over the place.
It really sounds like he's the one who essentially gave her an ultimatum. Not sure why he'd phrase it like that, but hopefully she's not miserable.
Weird to put y'all's life on blast like that.
Assuming both sides are actually into it, and not just the wife tolerating it, more power to them.
Uh costume designer is making bank now? She's probably at less than 100k a year.
Considering most celebrity marriages barely last even half that long, I'd say they seem to be doing alright.
He got married and then went "btw I need to fuck other people, sorry"
Good start to a marriage.
This isn't a criticism of you, or a criticism at all, rather just my frustration with the view of relationships that they're somehow more mature (or something to that effect) when they're into swinging or polyamory.
I've always operated under the assumption that some things work for some people, and other things work for some people. Sure, we've been in something of a "norm" for awhile, but that doesn't mean that what's not in that criteria is worse, better, higher minded, or anything along those lines.
I'm all for open relationships but the way he went about it sucks and she seems much less happy about it than is framed in the article with the term 'it saved our marriage'.
To be honest the guy comes off as a massive dick who's patting himself on the back for not cheating on his wife.

Considering her work history, yeah, she's making good money. She's no millionaire, but I doubt she's going, "Gotta get me a rich Silicon Valley star money!" Such a weird thing for you to say.
a number of commenters in the /r/Earwolf thread on this interview discussed some rumors and things about him that upon reading definitely kinda bum me out, but it's difficult to tell with the internet sometimes.

It definitely reads like he told her this is the way things are going to go if she wants to stay married to him.
Hey look, I'm not saying anything definitively, all I know is based on that article something is off. It's obviously all pure speculation and I have no actual insight in to this womans character.
I thought swinging was when you go to parties as a couple with other swingers? But what the fuck do I know?

Lol @ "saved." Funny thing to brag about. "Hey, I saved my marriage by telling my wife I have to fuck other people."
Will Smith and Jada have long been rumored to be hardcore swingers.
Seems a bit of a bitch move.
Why was he not up front before the marriage?
If I said to my girl I'm Sexual and need to fuck other chicks she's telling me to keep it moving.

Speculating that someone with a well paying stable job (as her IMDB shows) is gold digging a star from... Silicon Valley?
If it gets to a point where one person says " I need to have sex with other people" or something to that effect. There's really only two ways it can go. She was either going to leave him or they went with the much less common option of an open marriage
Sounds like it works for them though, so I don't see a problem here
