The newly wedded couple welcomed their son, Jaden Smith, shortly after they tied the knot and went on to have their daughter, Willow Smith, three years later. Jaden and Willow have become entertainment industry stars within their own right, and have garnered massive amounts of attention throughout the course of their public lives.

Will revealed that he had practically always wanted to be a dad, though he wanted to prove himself to be different from his own dad. "From the time I was 6 years old, I wanted to be a father," he said on "Red Table Talk" (via Hollywood Life). "I loved how my family was, but there were massive critical deficiencies in my father's parenting that I wanted to correct."

When discussing his children in 2016, Will went on to tell Vanity Fair that his son Jaden is "fearless." He continued, saying, "As a parent it's scary, it's really terrifying — but he is completely willing to live and die by his own artistic decisions and he just doesn't concern himself with what people think." Additionally, in a 2020 episode of "Red Table Talk," he admitted that "Willow's the only female relationship I've ever had that I didn't mess up" (via Insider).
