We’re not done with Mr. Willard Smith Jr. yet, he’s as interesting as it gets, but today we’re going to look past him and some equally interesting people. Don’t worry, all of this will always bring us back to our dear Willard, because we’re going to see his family, and not just his immediate family, we’re also going to hear from Mama and Papa Smith.
Sit tight as we move from the younger generation to the older generation of the Smith family.
Will Smith’s Kids
The actor has a total of three children, his eldest son is from his first marriage to Sheree Zampino and the last two are the product of his union with his current “Bae” Jada Pinkett Smith.
Will Smith’s Kids; Trey Smith
You might be wondering who this guy is, we’ve barely heard of him, but he’s an integral part of the Smith clan. Born Willard Carroll ‘Trey’ Smith III on November 11, 1992 in Los Angeles, California, USA, Trey is Will’s firstborn son. Trey made his first appearance at the age of 6 in a cameo in his father’s music video for the song, Nothing but the two of us
Like some other famous kids, Trey chose to follow in his father’s footsteps rather than go to college, on a full athletic scholarship, if we may add. You can spot him in the movies, The Speech (2008) and David Blaine: Real or Magic (2013). He is also trying to find his footing in the music industry and operating it as an accomplished DJ who performs under the stage name AcE.
You can also watch him alongside his siblings in his 2012 music video for his single, Find You Somewhere.
Will Smith’s Kids; Jayden Smith
This name, you certainly know, because it is not foreign to the public eye. Jaden Christopher Syre Smith was born on July 8, 1998 and is Will and Jada’s first child together. You may remember him from the 2010 remake of The Karate Kid and a few movies he starred with his dad.
The second Smith brother is known for his “weird” worldviews and his mission to blur gender roles. Yeah folks, if you spot a boy, of non-Scottish descent, wearing a skirt, it’s probably him. He currently plays on “gender fluidity” and is as liberal as possible.
Will Smith’s Kids; Willow Smith
The last child and only daughter of the Smith clan was born Willow Camille Reign Smith, on October 31, 2000. Like her siblings before her, she is following in her parents’ footsteps and show business is officially Smith’s family business. Willow first graced our screens in 2007 in the movie I Am Legend, you may also remember her 2010 hit single “ Whip My Hair” which peaked at number 11 on the Billboard. Hot 100
She has a lot more in her portfolio, but these days the starlet has definitely stepped up her game, she was on the cover of Teen Vogue in May and is currently a Chanel brand ambassador. Most recently, she teamed up with Kendall Jenner in a fashionable new anti-cyberbullying campaign for garage magazine in conjunction with Snapchat.
It’s fun, it’s trendy, and most importantly, it has a great message, “Be cool, be nice.”

Will Smith’s Wife
Most Hollywood celebrities have been married and divorced, some even more than once. So it’s not at all strange that Willard II is on “woman” number two. As we already know Will Smith’s Kids, it’s time to meet the wives.
Will Smith’s wife; Sheree Zampino
They married in 1992 and had their son, Trey, the same year. According to Sheree, she was unhappy with her union with the Fresh Prince of Bel Air actor and this led to their divorce in 1995. She is still a big part of her son’s life and maintains a good relationship with Jada and her children.
Earlier this year, the late Alexis Arquette made some pretty strong allegations against Will, Jada, and Sheree. The transgender actress claimed the couple broke up because Sheree walked into Will’s house with her lover. On top of that, he said Sheree’s silence was bought after the divorce. The 48-year-old sent her a well-worded response on Facebook that put everything into perspective.
Since her divorce, Sheree has proven she can do it on her own. She founded and owns the skincare company Sheree Elizabeth LLC and starred in the hit TV series Hollywood Exes for three seasons before it was canceled in 2014.
Will Smith’s wife; Jada Pinkett Smith
Will and Jada have been #goals since getting married in 1997 and 19 years later amid constant breakup rumors, the two are still together. Do you remember Will’s girlfriend, Lisa Wilkes, on Fresh Prince of Bel Air? Well it could have been Jada, she auditioned but didn’t get the part because she was too short. Will certainly didn’t seem to mind his size.
In addition to her successful acting career, she is an accomplished businesswoman and is involved in many charitable works.
