Smith’s other children, including Trey, have all established prosperous careers in the public eye.
Alongside his father, Jaden starred in the films Pursuit of Happyness and After Life, although his most well-known performance was likely in The Karate Kid.
He has also made a name for himself in the music business; in 2017, he released his debut album, “Syre.”
As a featured artist on Justin Bieber’s album “Justice,” Jaden received a Grammy Award nomination in 2022 for Album of the Year.
Willow has established a successful career in the music sector as well.
The song “Whip My Hair,” which she released in 2010, peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100. Her song “Wait A Minute!” from 2015 received excellent reviews and gained popularity on TikTok.
Willow has been open about her difficulties throughout her career, saying that in a fit of defiance, she shaved her head.
According to the artist, “it was the ideal way to rebel,” People magazine reported. “I had a dream when I was really young, but all I really wanted to do was sing, and I didn’t think that was worth all the business and stress that came with it.”
“I was just like, ‘Whoa, this is not the life that I want,'” she continued.
Smith stated that this incident altered his approach to parenting and that his daughter “saved” him.
According to People, the Bright star stated during an interview for “Will Smith: An Evening of Stories with Friends”: “I was like, ‘I am parenting the s*** out of these kids.'” I thought I was doing incredibly well.
“It was terrifying,” he added, recalling the moment he noticed Willow had shaved her head. Willow grabbed me back when I stepped out into the street in front of a bus, as if I had been texting while staring at my phone.
As odd as it may sound, I felt emotions for the first time. Because of my early years, because of my upbringing… I didn’t give a damn about how other people felt because I didn’t care about how I felt. In my childhood home, my feelings were unimportant. You followed the instructions.
“I had to give the question she was asking me some serious thought. In reality, she was saying, “Daddy, do you care about how I feel?” In my thoughts, it was so explosive. It resembled a profound existential query.
The topic of Jaden and Willow’s names has never really come up, despite the Smith family’s extreme candour about their lives, but suddenly it’s trending on the internet.
