Will Smith and his oldest son, Trey, have come a long way. Their relationship hasn’t always been smooth sailing, but it is pretty strong now. Will recently opened up about how he “failed” as a dad to Trey after his divorce from Sheree Zampino, especially in the years that followed. Trey, who was just a kid at the time, felt betrayed and abandoned, and that wasn’t easy for either of them.

But here’s the kicker: despite all that pain, Will and Trey are closer than ever. On a Bucket List episode, Will admitted that their father-son relationship is “brand new.” They are building something more profound than before—based on true friendship. And yeah, it might’ve taken a while to get there, but better late than never, right?

Their journey has been a wild ride. Sometimes, Will Smith took a step back, thinking giving Trey some space would help him cope. But Trey came to him over the years—especially when high school came around. It was football that started bringing them together, and Will didn’t hold back, flying in from filming Karate Kid just to see Trey play. Talk about dedication!
