Successful box office actor and musician, Will Smith got married to his first wife, Sheree Zampino in 1992. The same year they welcomed their first baby, Willard Christopher ‘Trey’ III Smith. One Valentine’s day, Sheree told her husband that she wanted a divorce. Although Will wanted to remain in the marriage, he went ahead and granted Sheree her wish and in 1995 the two were divorced.

Jada came into the picture even before Will finalized his divorce, something she regrets to date. If she could go back in time, she says that she would have backed down and let Will and Sheree finalize their divorce first. Nonetheless, Will continued to maintain close ties with his son. However, at one point Trey says he felt neglected as his parents moved on with their separate lives. It has taken a conscious effort to build a relationship with his dad who remarried shortly after divorcing his mom.

20 Trey’s Mom And Smith Get Along Well

Will and Sheree Zampino co-parent their son Trey in one of the most amicable ways. Will posted a lovely birthday message on her wall wishing her a happy birthday. He also wrote that he loved her and called her the best baby mama ever. According to people.com, Will also attached a photo of the two exes holding a young Trey.

19 His Mum Left Will And Not The Other Way Around

Although Will had already started having feelings for Jada when he was still married to Sheree, divorcing his wife was not an option as he claims on thelist.com. Sheree, on the other hand, was of a different opinion. She filed for divorce citing that they were too young for marriage. Will was also too busy with his rising career.

18 Trey Felt Abandoned When His Parents Got Divorced

Children are the most affected when a couple decides to end their marriage. This was also the case when Will and Sheree separated. Although Trey was very young at the time his parents were annulling their marriage, usatoday.com says he grew up feeling that his dad had abandoned him.

17 He Gets Along With Jaden And Willow

The three Smith kids get along so well you would not think that they are step-siblings. As stated on nickiswift.com, Trey frequently posts photos of himself with his family and especially his brother and sister. They also all seem to share an interest in music; Jaden is a rapper, Willow sings and Trey is a music producer.

16 He Also Has A Good Relationship With Jada

Sheree could not have been any more grateful when his son and stepmom met and clicked. Of course, she had her reservations about the two of them getting along but she is glad everyone was able to get along. According to nickiswift.com, Trey refers to Jada as his bonus mother. Jada is also very accommodating of Trey in family events and functions.

15 His Mum And Jada Did Not Get Along At First

Trey’s two moms were not always the best of friends as seen on Jada’s birthday tribute to her husband’s baby mama. She says on people.com that getting to where they are has been a hell of a journey. Their relationship has taught her many lessons but she is happy that they all co-exist amicably and that she is part of their lives.

14 Will Ended The Feud

Before Jada and Sheree got to a happy space, Will had to intervene. From the look of things, Jada was the one who had stepped out of line because Jada says Will let her have it and put her in her place. People.com reveals that the two started mending their relationship after this. Zampino is thankful that Jada was always quick to apologize for her mistakes.

13 Trey’s Relationship With His Dad Hasn’t Always Been Easy

As earlier stated, Trey felt betrayed by his parents when they separated. It has taken long for Will and Trey to restore their father-son relationship. Toofab.com shares a photo of the two that Will posted in his Instagram account. Below it, Will writes that it is a blessing that he recovered his relationship with his son.

12 He Attends Red Carpet Gigs With The Other Smiths

Trey has on several occasions accompanied the Smiths to red carpet events. Will and Jada do not mind showing him off to the world. As young as 12 years old, he reported live from the red carpet at a Nickelodeon Kid’s Choice Awards. According to nickiswift.com, he had the opportunity of speaking to Eva Longoria and Lindsay Lohan.

11 He Was Good At Football

Trey attended Oaks Christian High School and was part of the football team that held six district championships and over 100 wins. He was a good wide receiver to the extent that he was offered a scholarship by FCS Northern Arizona. However, as revealed on imdb.com he turned it down to pursue music.

10 He Appeared In His Dad’s Video

Trey made his debut on TV at just five years old. He appeared in one of his dad’s music videos Just the Two of Us which according to nickiswift.com was a huge hit that made it to the top 20 Billboards 100. In a V-neck sweater, the five-year-old stood in a prop ship and said these words to his dad, "Now dad, this is a very sensitive subject..."

9 He Has Done A Bit Of Acting

Trey does not want to have a TV career like his parents and step-siblings, the only other time we saw him on TV was on All of Us and The Speech. According to imdb.com, the former was a show created by Will and Jada; Trey only appeared in two episodes. In the second show, he is credited as the football player.

8 Trey Is A DJ

Besides acting, Will also had a successful singing career. His two kids with Jada have acted alongside their dad and are also young musicians as stated on madeformoms.com. Trey may not have caught the acting bug but he is definitely into music like the rest of the crew. He is a DJ who goes by the name AcE and has helped produce one of Willow’s songs.

7 He Likes Visiting Dubai

Trey’s favorite hang out is not the local mall or club, the first-born son of Will has a much more refined taste. He enjoys an out of the country getaway, more precisely, Dubai. Nickiswift.com says he has been there skydiving, he has headlined a show at the JW Marriott Marquis Hotel, filmed a documentary and recently he was at an F1 Grand Prix with his dad.

6 He Enjoys Gaming

Other than music and Dubai, Trey is also a gamer. According to nickiswift.com, that is where he got his DJ name. He is a huge fan of Xbox and took his obsession further by partnering with Xbox to create a simulator challenge. He also streams himself playing every weeknight from 5 pm to 1 am. Trey has partnered with the gaming giant Xbox as well and produced a collabo with The Backpack Kid.

5 Trey Gets Individual Daddy Time

Will has always been a family man that is why he wanted to stay married to his first wife. According to foxnews.com, Will likes spending one on one time with his children, which especially includes Trey. Daddy time does not just include a movie for the Smiths, that is if this is even a thing for them, quality father-son or father-daughter bonding time can be a vacation out of the country.

4 He Vacations With Mom And Dad

If you thought that Will taking his kids individually for trips just to bond was extra and absurd, how about the fact that his ex-wife also gets a chance to come on family trips. The most insane thing is that Jada does not tag along. Thelist.com says that Jada allows this so that Trey can enjoy the company of both his parents and feel a family connection.

3 Trey’s Mum Is An Entrepreneur

On another note, thelist.com states that Trey’s mother is an entrepreneur. She once had a skincare product, a body butter by the name Whoop Ash. Although she dropped it to venture into other things, Jada gave her instrumental support to turn her endeavor into a product line. She also has an online boutique and is yet to release a co-parenting book.

2 His Family Is Well Blended

To say that the Smiths are unorthodox is a bit of an understatement. Jada has been accepting of Trey and Sheree as part of the family, something you do not see people do every day. The way the three adults all co-parent Trey is admirable. Many families living in such dynamics may claim to be blended but the Smiths are on their own level and thelist.com agrees.

1 His Dad Is His Best Friend

Recently Will and Trey were in Dubai together. It was one of his father-son trips as eonline.com reports. Will posted a video while there explaining how their relationship has grown. As he was talking, images of him and Trey were popping on the screen. However, what touched him and almost broke him into tears was when his son told him that he was his best friend.
