Will Smith and ex-wife Sheree Fletcher wedded each other in 1992 but split up in 1995. The former couple has a 27-year-old son together, Trey Smith. Two years after his divorce from Sheree, the actor got married to Jada Pinkett Smith in 1997 and the power couple shares two kids together, i.e. elder son Jaden Smith, 21, and daughter Willow Smith, 19.

In May 2018, Sheree Fletcher featured in the debut episode of Jada's Facebook show, Red Table Talk, wherein both the ladies discussed how they managed to develop a good rapport with each other despite initial struggles.

Now, in a Father's Day special episode of the Red Table Talk, the celebrity couple Will and Jada sat down for a one-on-one conversation wherein the actor spilled the beans about raising his and Sheree's son, Trey and their divorce. Jada brought up the topic of how her husband keeps on telling her that if a man cannot be the best husband, it does not mean he is not a good father.

Adding more to his wife's statement, the 51-year-old actor stated that with Sheree and Trey, that was an extremely difficult time for him and also revealed that divorce was the worst thing that has happened to him in his adult life. He also expressed saying divorce was his ultimate failure. Elaborating more about the same, the Bad Boys actor said that he has been hurt a lot in his adult life but according to him, nothing touches the failure of getting divorced from his 2-year-old son's mother.
