Trey Smith talks about his relationship with Jada Pinkett Smith: ‘I don’t consider her a stepmother’

Though they are now closer than ever, Will Smith and his son Trey Smith didn’t always have that kind of relationship.

Will Zampino wed Sheree Zampino early in his career, and the couple soon had a son named Trey. Even though Will claims that at the age of 24, he realized the devastating effects of parenting right away, he distanced himself from the position when he and Sheree got divorced two years later.

Looking back, Will said he thought that by keeping the relationship a little distance from each other, Trey wouldn’t have to deal with cоnflict between his parents and that he would get in touch with him when his son was ready. Trey followed through on it years later, and the father-son team started to mend fences.

The two now regard one other as their closest pals. In an Instagram Father’s Day message from 2019, Trey expressed his gratitude for Will being his father, reflecting on their close-knit relationship.

Trey wrote in the caption of a family photo that included him, Will, “bonus mom” Jada Pinkett Smith, and his siblings Jaden and Willow Smith, “Every time I post a picture of you, a few people will put themselves up for adoption regardless of their age, wish you were their dad, or my personal favorite, call you a national treasure and ask that we protect you at all cost…. I agree with ALL of their sentiments.”

Here is everything you need to know about Trey Smith, the son of Will Smith.

Trey is Will and Zampino’s only child.

Will and Zampino welcomed Willard Carroll “Trey” Smith III, a son, as their first and only child on November 11, 1992. The actor from Me𝚗 in Black claims that he connected with his son, who bears his nаme, right away.

 

“I took him home, and we placed him in the bassinet.” It resembled blatant horror. I could not stop going and checking, and I am fully responsible for this existence. I started crying so much. At a 2020 Red Table Talk event with Pinkett Smith, Will remarked, “It makes me cry right now.”

“I just knew I didn’t know nothing,” he went on. I realized how delicate being a parent is. I thought there was no way when I realized all the amazing lessons my father had taught me in that one instant. I’m not really talented.

When Trey was a young child, Will and Zampino got divorced.

Will and Zampino parted ways when Trey was two years old because the actor “realized that [he] wasn’t with the person [he] was supposed to be with.” The Hitch star claims that in 1995, they formally separated after she filed for divorce. Since then, Will has referred to the time as “the worst thing” in his adult life.

 

He said on Red Table Talk, “For me, getting divorced was the ultimate failure.” “In my entire life, I have experienced a great deal of hurt, but nothing comes close to the disappointment of divorcing my son’s mother when he was two years old. Sheree and I encountered the idea that a man forfeits his parental rights if he is a bad husband.

 

“I’m a way better father than I am a husband,” Will continued. The child is in the middle when you begin to bаttle for your rights during that procedure.
