Famously open about their marriage, Will Smith admitted that he and Jada Pinkett Smith have turned to therapy.
He told The Sun, “For me it’s the dark before the dawn.” In other words, you have go through rough patches, but if you do it right, there’s light on the other side.
Kristen and Dax
In 2015, Kristen Bell told Good Housekeeping, “You do better in the gym with a trainer; you don’t figure out how to cook without reading a recipe. Therapy is not something to be embarrassed about.”
Dax Shepard also explained, “There were hurdles, things she didn’t trust about me, things I didn’t trust about her. I just kept going back to ‘This person has the thing I want, and I have to figure out how we can exist peacefully.’ So we started [seeing a therapist together] right away.”
And that, my friends, is how it’s done. It’s not always perfect, but if you want to be together, you make your puzzle pieces fit one way or another.
Beyoncé and Jay Z
The couple has reportedly made therapy a pillar in their marriage for a long time to stay on top of communication. During their “Crazy in Love” tour, they called in to weekly Skype sessions.
Sure, divorce rumors were spreading like wildfire, but can we leave the elevator incident out of this for once and chalk it up to good ol’ relationship book work?
Whatever they’re doing seems to be working, because this picture was taken in June 2016, and they look happy as clams. Please tell us you’ve worked it out, Bey and J!
Kim and Kanye
Who knows if the recent headlines pointing to the couple’s latest stint in therapy are just for show ratings and KUWTK plotlines, but the couple also reportedly sought therapy after North was born to help them adjust to being parents.
There’s certainly nothing wrong with asking for help so you can course-correct.
Kim also apparently went to couples therapy with Kris Humphries before ultimately calling it quits.
Pink and Carey
They may have split up in 2008, but the couple now has a budding family together, and Pink told Redbook that they are couples-therapy people. “We do it for maintenance, not problems,” she said.
One thing they have learned on the couch? That fighting is a good thing as long as you have a goal to resolve something.
Cameron and Benji
These two lovebirds married in their living room just a few months after dating. A source told Star Magazine that they had already started marriage counseling as a preventive measure to avoid potential stumbles.
Some people think it’s crazy. I think, why not?
Diaz herself has spoken about therapy in her personal life as a way to take care of herself, so more power to them.
Fergie and Josh
Fergie told Allure that both she and Josh Duhamel have embraced therapy to keep their marraige sharp, saying, “He doesn’t feel like he’s not man enough.”
For therapy, that is.
Let it be known that no one is too manly for therapy. Or too womanly.
