One of Will’s images showed him hugging Willow in a field, while his other photo showed the couple sharing a tender moment during a photo shoot. “This has probably been the best period of my parenthood,” Will told People last year in December. ‘I was a good father to my first child. I got a little better with Jaden. I have my sea legs with Willow.

The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star also has two children: Jaden, 24, with Jada Pinkett Smith, and Trey Smith, 30, with ex-wife Sheree Zampino. Referencing his infamous Oscar slap, Will explained, “The last two years of my life, I’ve suffered enough to have true wisdom.” The last year with my children has been the best parenting.” The Bad Boys star went on to share that “it’s okay to make mistakes, and the best thing you can do for your kids is to learn and grow yourself.

‘When we are trying to force our children to do things and understand things that we didn’t do, that we don’t understand, they see the foolishness. And they lose respect. I found a place with my kids where I could say, “I don’t know” and “Let’s figure it out, together.” Let’s find out together, but we’re doing it as a team.” ‘

Smith talked about the struggle to “connect and love on a deep level” and talked about how his relationship with Willow helped open his eyes. “I guess I noticed a bit of a lack in my ability to connect and love on a deep level. I started noticing it with Willow. Willow was the one who said, “Dad, you’re not.”

‘I realized that I was not that adept at connecting with and loving someone. I could provide, I’ll lay it out, that’s the easy part. But in those moments, when my children looked for me, I failed in the depth that they looked for.’ And being Will Smith’s daughter hasn’t always been easy for Willow, who rose to fame at the age of ten with her hit song Whip My Hair. Willow was opening for Justin Bieber on his world tour in 2011 when he walked offstage and told her dad, “I’m done, dad.” I’m ready to go home.

Will wanted his pre-teen superstar to continue acting and end their engagement, as he had yet to open for Bieber in Australia. Fed up with the fame, Willow shaved her head in defiance, a moment Smith described in her eponymous 2021 memoir, Will. She wrote: “My jaw almost dislocated, came off and smashed on the kitchen floor – my future world superstar who ruled the world and whipped her hair was completely bald.” Will Smith and Martin Lawrence announce the fourth ‘Bad Boys’ movie. Parenting Prime Time: “This has probably been the best period of my parenthood,” Will told People last year in December. ‘I was a good father to my first child. I got a little better with Jaden. I have my sea legs with Willow’

Jada said she “had a hard time relating” to her daughter’s anxiety because she “didn’t know what it was like to be a kid under the hot lights.” “I always knew she was different from my parents,” Willow told The Guardian, then deflected a question about her father’s collapse at the Oscars. “I love my dad,” she said, adding, “I love everyone I’ve ever met.” People are just human, and humans are complex and beautiful creatures who deserve to be creative and to be respected and loved…’ Willow also described her parents as her ‘best friends’ and ‘wonderful people’.

‘My parents are my best friends. They are both wonderful people. I love them not because they are my parents, but because they are Will and Jada, who have beautiful, complex, and amazing hearts and minds of their own.
