American actress and media personality, Jada Pinkett Smith, has said the secret to her 22 years marriage to four-time Grammy Award-winning actor, Will Smith, is sex toys.

The 47-year-old mother of two said nobody has to feel ashamed about it adding that she’s not the only one that makes use of them.

Speaking to The Sun’s Bizarre column, the actress said she’s still surprised how people relate to sex like it’s still such a taboo.

“People are shocked about my love for using sex toys. I know damn well I’m not the only one that uses them.

“Nobody has to feel any shame about it but I’m still surprised how people relate to sex, specifically female sexuality – it’s still such a taboo.”

Pinkett Smith also revealed that speaking up about their marriage problems has brought her and Smith, 50, closer and she hopes it inspires others to see that their relationship isn’t perfect.

She said: “Will and I really wanted to dissolve the myths that surround partnerships that are in the public eye, as if they’re easy.

“Those partnerships are going through the exact kind of difficulties everyone else is going through.

“We got a lot of positive responses from people in our industry. I think it gave people the opportunity to sit down with their partner.”

Her latest revelation comes after “The Red Table Talk” host admitted her relationship with Smith is not a “conventional marriage”.

She said: “I knew that I was not built for conventional marriage. Even the word ‘wife’: it’s a golden cage, swallow the key. Even before I was married, I was like, ‘That’ll kill me.’

And it damn near did! So why wouldn’t you share what you’ve been through, when you see that other people are out there, trying to figure this crap out? We decided to make it public because it’s part of the healing. I feel like if we don’t have real understanding about it, I don’t know if interpersonal relationships are possible.”
