Will Smith, 56, shares Jaden and daughter Willow, 24, with his estranged wife Jada Pinkett Smith. He also has a son, Trey, 32, from his first marriage to Sheree Zampino.
According to PEOPLE, in October 2024, during a panel at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles, Will spoke about how his relationship with his kids has grown stronger as he works on himself.
"As a parent, because I'm continuing to push, because I'm continuing to work on myself and I'm continuing to try to get my head around this grand mystery... Because I'm continuing to work, my children are gravitating toward me more," he said.
"I'm noticing the struggles that I have, the difficulties that I overcome, the things that I learned," continued Will. "Because I am not stopping, my children are not moving away from me. My children are moving closer to me."
