Being a parent is challenging, especially if you are a famous figure because what you do might affect the child and influence how he develops his personality. Certainly, Jada and Will Smith understand what I mean. They raised two children, Jaden and Willow, together, while some individuals, such as Jada’s mother, disagree with how the two children were grown.
The Smiths have had several troubles over the years, including one of their son’s announcements, which Jada found heartbreaking.
Although it may appear simple, having famous parents can be challenging since others treat you differently, and it can be difficult to establish your individuality and discover who you indeed are. Jaden confirmed all of this in an interview in 2018, yet he was able to find himself thanks to the skate park.
Will Smith stated that his son, Jaden, always finds a balance and is brave, although the media constantly scrutinise him.
In an interview, Jada stated in Red Table Talk that when Jaden was 15, he told her that he wanted to leave the family home and not be dependent on his parents. The parents were heartbroken by the news, but they ultimately agreed that Jaden should be held accountable for his acts, and their son moved on his own. Jada stated that she believed Jaden was ready to leave the house and trusted him, while Adrienne, Jada’s mother, said she never agreed with the decision.
Jada explained that she understands that every child is different and that the more she lets her son make decisions for him, the better their relationship will be. In the end, Jaden did not pursue this option, but his parents offered him complete independence.
Jaden also decided to go vegan, but his parents had to interfere since Jaden did not eat properly, and his health suffered as a result.
Jaden eventually understood his life was in jeopardy and decided to become a vegetarian. Jaden also acknowledged eating haphazardly, sometimes only one meal a day, and not realising how much harm he was doing to himself.
Jaden relocated from his parent’s house to his home in Hidden Hills in 2017. His house is only 5 minutes from his parents, and he has a close relationship with them, viewing them as role models.
