Jada Pinkett Smith on how she copes with her empty nest
Jada Pinkett Smith revealed she feels like an empty nester with her children gone so often for work.
The Magic Mike star, 45, told Haute Living magazine that Jaden, 18, and Willow, 16, whom she shares with husband Will Smith, have been extremely busy with their budding careers.
She admitted that although she no longer has her children around all the time, she 'doesn't have time to miss them' because they are still constantly in contact.

'It's funny, they're not around, but they are,' she mused.
The actress continued: 'I don't even have time to miss them! Willow loves to call me every day, and even Jaden, when he's away on set, still needs to see Will and I when he gets homesick.'
It seems Will and Jada raised their children to have strong heads on their shoulders and be independent from an early age.
Willow has previously revealed that her parents had inspired her to want to change the world.

She said: 'They always give back what people give to them. And sometimes they keep giving and giving and giving.
'And some people don't feel like they need to give anything back because it's like, "Oh, if you're famous, you can just keep giving, and it doesn't matter."'
But she said it has nothing to do with money and is more of a mindset: 'It's not just about money. It's not just about giving people gifts or whatever.'
Kicking off their careers: Both Jaden, 18, and Willow, 16, spend quite a bit of time away from home while they are working on their budding careers
She continued: 'What my parents have given to me is not anything that has to do with money or success or anything that society says people should be focusing on - it's something spiritual that only certain people can grasp and accept. And that's how I act and move in the world today.'
For his part, 18-year-old Jaden was raised to have confidence and insists he doesn't really care what people think of him.
'You just have to believe in yourself, you know. The world is going to keep bashing me for whatever I do, and I'm going to keep not caring,' he said. 'I'm going to keep doing the same things - I'm going to keep doing more things.'
