Will Smith and his first son Trey Smith have a strong relationship now, after struggling to get on the same page after Will’s divorce.
On Tuesday, Will shared a video of him discussing the quality time he has been spending with his eldest son. “I’m in Abu Daubi at the F1, I brought my son Trey. I usually take my kids separately on stuff just so they have their individual daddy time,” the actor said. Then he revealed that his son told him that he was his closest friend. “He said, ‘You know what dad I just realized you’re not just my dad… I’m pretty sure you’re my best friend.'”
The fans expressed happiness to hear that the award-winning actor and his son were able to come together.
“Man I almost shed a tear for you.. as a father, I know that meant a lot from where y’all have come from 💪🏾 that’s tough”
“Truth. A good father is finally realized by the words of honor coming from their grown child’s heart.”
“Im pretty sure you did a great job as a father to deserve the recognition from your child..God bless you both 🙏”
In the caption of the video, he also opened up about why their relationship hit a snag. “It has not always been like this between Trey & I. We STRUGGLED FOR YEARS after my Divorce from his Mother.”
He went on to write that Trey felt abandoned and that its a blessing that they were able to patch things up. ” He felt betrayed & abandoned. It is a Wild Blessing to recover & restore a Loving Relationship with My Beautiful Son! @treysmith0011.”
