Will Smith, the Fresh Prince of Hollywood, is a proud father of three. All of his children have followed his footsteps to success. The actor recently shared a throwback Instagram picture of him and his eldest son Trey Smith looking intensely at a chessboard, perhaps during a match. The eldest son of the Men In Black actor is an adorable little kid in the photo—however, his expressions and elegance match entirely with that of his father!

In the picture, father and son, Trey Smith have a bond that every father and son dream of. However, everything is not as it looks. Their relationship faced challenges in the past. Trey Smith is the actor’s firstborn child with his first wife, Sheree Zampino. After their separation, he felt hurt. Additionally, when the Emancipation actor married Jada Pinkett Smith in 1997 and had two more children, Jaden and Willow Smith, their relationship worsened. For a period, the duo did not communicate with each other.

However, the Gotham actress’ presence has played a role in helping the father and son rebuild their relationship and find love once again. Additionally, Trey has formed a bond with his step-siblings, who frequently join him at various gatherings. Together as a family, they have even appeared on Jada’s Red Table Talk, where they openly discuss subjects, like blended families, mental wellness, and the power of forgiveness.

Trey Smith and his father are now on better terms, and the Smiths enjoy much influence in the industry.
