Transcript

00:00 Scarlett Johansson, who recently split from her husband, doesn't think that

00:02 monogamy is natural, and opened up about it for Playboy's March/April edition. She

00:07 describes monogamy more of a job than it's worth, saying, "I don't think

00:10 it's natural to be a monogamous person. I might be skewed for that, but I think

00:13 it's work." Monogamy is hard to pull off. It takes an animal with an enormous

00:18 brain, a big old cerebral cortex, to figure out how to do it. Because monogamy

00:22 requires us to not only know what we want, but also to figure out what our

00:26 mate wants, and provide for that want that is not our own on a day-to-day basis.

00:31 And she might be on to something as more and more celebrities are alluding to

00:33 their open relationships. There's Jada Pinkett and Will Smith. There have been

00:37 rumors about them having an open relationship, which they have danced

00:40 around, sometimes denying, sometimes vaguely confirming. "I've always told

00:43 Will, you can do whatever you want as long as you can look at yourself in the

00:53 mirror and be okay." And there was one of my favorite couples, Brad Pitt and

00:57 Angelina Jolie. Before the couple split in 2016, Angelina Jolie reportedly told a

01:01 German magazine, "I doubt that fidelity is absolutely essential for a

01:05 relationship." She continued, "Neither Brad nor I ever claimed that living together

01:08 means to be chained together. We make sure that we never restrict each other."

01:11 And there's Monique and her husband, Sidney Hicks. In an interview from 2016,

01:15 the pair confirmed that they are in a relationship and give some tips on how to

01:19 make that work. "I'm an entertainer and this is my best friend ever. And what I

01:24 did not want to do was be dishonest with my best friend. There may be times I may

01:28 want to be with other men." And then there are those celebs that might want open

01:32 relationships and it blows up in their face. Like Robin Thicke and his ex-wife,

01:35 Paula Padden, who were going down this route until things went horribly wrong.

01:39 After an alleged romp with the masseuse, Paula found out that Robin was having an

01:42 affair with their mutual partner behind her back. And that led to them going

01:46 their separate ways. So is monogamy overrated and do open relationships work?
