Jada Pinkett Smith took to Instagram on June 16 to honor her husband, Will Smith, for his unwavering dedication as a father. The heartfelt tribute was accompanied by a humorous photo of Will, fast asleep, surrounded by their children Jaden, 25, and Willow, 23, as well as Will’s son Trey, 31, from his previous marriage to Sheree Zampino.
“Will, thank you for being a devoted girl dad/boy dad and doing all you do,” Jada wrote. “Happy Father’s Day—you deserve the rest.”
The image captured a light-hearted moment, with Jada and the kids grinning behind a snoozing Will. The post also featured a baseball cap with the phrase “Happy Zaddy Day” and a cup that read “Happy Father’s Day,” hinting at the family’s playful celebrations.
Will’s Father’s Day festivities came shortly after the family united for the premiere of “Bad Boys: Ride or Die” on May 30. The event marked the first time Will and Jada appeared together on the red carpet since announcing their separation in 2016. Despite the separation, the couple has remained committed to their family, often appearing together in public.
Jada has been vocal about their decision to stay married despite their separation. “I made a promise that there will never be a reason for us to get a divorce, we will work through whatever,” she told NBC. “I just haven’t been able to break that promise.”
Will also shared a humorous Father’s Day post, featuring a video of a girl accidentally hitting her father with a ball. “Hahaha! Shoutout to all the dads taking a beating every day while raising the next generation of sluggers,” he wrote, tagging the dad in the video.
The Smith family’s public appearances and social media posts reflect their strong bond and mutual support. Jada’s tribute to Will underscores the respect and admiration she holds for him as a father, despite the challenges they have faced in their relationship.
In addition to their Father’s Day celebrations, the Smith family has been busy supporting Will’s latest film. Jada attended the Dubai premiere of “Bad Boys: Ride or Die” on May 22, where she posed separately from Will on the red carpet. The couple’s ability to co-parent and support each other’s careers is a testament to their commitment to family.
Jada’s Father’s Day post received an outpouring of love and support from fans. One follower commented, “The love that everyone around him has for him speaks volumes for the type of guy he is.” Another fan praised Will’s latest film, writing, “Happy Father’s Day Will! You deserve rest after the 1 Billion Box office earnings for Bad Boys!! Congratulations!!!”
Despite their separation, Jada and Will have managed to maintain a united front for their children and continue to celebrate each other’s achievements. Their dedication to family and mutual respect is evident in their public interactions and social media posts.
As the Smith family continues to navigate their unique relationship, they remain a source of inspiration for many. Jada’s Father’s Day tribute to Will is a reminder of the importance of recognizing and appreciating the efforts of devoted fathers everywhere.
