Will Smith knows he can always rely on his family—literally! The Academy Award winner, 56, marked National Napping Day with a heartwarming Instagram post on Monday, March 10, featuring himself relaxing while his loved ones stood behind him in a playful pose.
In the photo, his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, stood between their two children, Willow, 24, and Jaden, 26, while his ex-wife, Sheree Zampino, stood beside their son, Trey, 32. The blended family radiated unity as they struck fun poses for the occasion.
Back in October 2024, during An Evening with Will Smith at the Grammy Museum in Los Angeles, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star reflected on fatherhood, emphasizing the importance of "vulnerability and transparency" in fostering real strength. He shared how he applies these
values in his parenting approach.
"I've been really practicing it with my children," Smith explained. "I'm discovering a whole new depth in our relationship by admitting, 'Hey, I don’t know, guys. I’m figuring this out with you, and I’m not going to pretend I have all the answers. I love you, son, but I don’t know.'"
The I Am Legend actor, who won the first-ever Grammy for Best Rap Performance in 1989, also spoke about how music strengthens their family bond. "It’s really special working on music together at home—creating, listening, and supporting each other’s creativity," he said.
Smith welcomed his eldest son, Trey, in 1992 with Zampino, 57. The couple divorced in 1995 before he married Red Table Talk host Jada Pinkett Smith in 1997.
"Divorce was my ultimate failure," Smith admitted during a June 2020 episode of Red Table Talk. "I’ve experienced a lot of pain in my adult life, but nothing compares to the feeling of failing my 2-year-old son’s mother."
In a 2018 Instagram video, the Bad Boys actor opened up about the effort he and Trey put into building their strong father-son relationship. Over the years, Smith’s blended family has continued to show unwavering support for one another.
When Trey celebrated his 30th birthday in November 2022, Pinkett Smith posted a heartfelt tribute to her husband’s eldest son, praising Smith and Zampino for their parenting.
"Congratulations @shereezampino and @willsmith — y’all did good," she wrote. Zampino lovingly responded, "Correction… WE did good! I love you, J! #BestBonusMomEver.”
