Loving Relationship with My Beautiful Son! @treysmith0011.”
In the video, Smith began explaining, “So I’m in Abu Dhabi

separately on stuff just so they have their individual daddy time,” Smith said.
He continued, “So we been doing this, me and him hanging out
at the F1. And he just hit me with, ‘You know what dad? I just realized you’re
not just my dad.’ He paused, and he said, ‘I’m pretty sure you’re my best
friend.'”
The actor got emotional as he pursed his lips and said, “I
was like, ‘Whoo. Yeah, man. Probably. Probably.”
Will Smith married Trey’s mother, Sheree Zampino, in 1992

remained friends with Zampino, including his current wife Jada Pinkett Smith.
