Jaden Smith is the son of famed actors, Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith. Will is best known for his blockbuster movies and his role in the 1990’s hit television series, The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Jada is best known for her roles in the Madagascar movie trilogy and Gotham. Both have singing careers, also.
Besides being successful double-threat Hollywood elites, the Smith family is also well known for their phenomenal co-parenting skills with Will’s ex-wife, Sheree Fletcher, and their freestyle views on parenting which have sometimes come under fire. The two home-schooled both their children.
Jaden was born on July 8, 1998, in Malibu, California. He began acting early in his childhood, sometimes with his superstar father. Smith is also a dancer, rapper, and songwriter. After a lengthy home-school career, Smith and his sister, Willow, attended the New Village Leadership Academy.
