Will Smith was “mind-blown” to have his adult children with him on the red carpet.
The 55-year-old actor was supported by his estranged wife Jada, 52, and their children Willow, 23, and Jaden, 25, as well as son Trey, 31, – who he has with Sheree Zampino – at the launch of his new Bad Boys: Ride Or Die film and found it surreal because the last time he and his co-star Martin Lawrence teamed up together, their kids were babies.
“It was beautiful seeing our kids together. We had newborns around the time of the first Bad Boys. So to have them here in their near-30s is like [mind-blowing].” he told “Entertainment Tonight.”
Lawrence who has Jasmine, 28, and 23-year-old Iyanna with his ex-wife Patricia Southall as well as 21-year-old Amara with his second wife Shamicka Gibbs noted that the support of their respective families comes down to love.
“That’s nothing but love, man!” he said.
“This thing premiering in Dubai and then for us to go into Saudi Arabia and do the first-ever Hollywood premiere in Saudi Arabia, this has been ridiculous!” Smith added.
Jada and Will Smith secretly separated in 2016 almost 20 years into their marriage.
She told of how they called it quits ahead of the release of her memoir and said she was stunned when Smith slapped Chris Rock at the 2022 Oscars for joking about her shaved head as they hadn’t been together for years.
“Keep my wife’s name out of your f****** mouth,” Smith yelled at the comic.
But Jada has said he hadn’t referred to her as his “wife” for years prior to the slap.
“First of all, I’m really shocked, because mind you, I’m not there. We haven’t called each other husband and wife in a long time. I’m really worried for Will because I don’t know what’s going on.],” she told the “Today” show.
