What Does Will Smith’s Oldest Son, Trey Smith, Do for a Living?

​​Will Smith is a Hollywood A-lister. He rose to fame as a rapper and became a movie star after appearing on the ’90s TV show The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. Smith is known as a family man, and his relationship with his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, has often made headlines. A loving father, he often posts about his two youngest children on his social media pages. However, fans might have a harder time spotting Will Smith’s oldest son, Trey Smith, who has carved out an identity separate from that of his famous dad. 

How many children does Will Smith have?

Though Will Smith’s marriage to Jada Pinkett Smith is his most high-profile relationship, he was previously married. His first wife was actor and model Sheree Zampino. The two tied the knot in 1992 when Smith was on the cusp of fame. But their marriage didn’t last, and they split in 1995. Their only child, Willard Carroll “Trey” Smith III, born on November 11, 1992, was just 3 when the couple split.

Smith found love again in short order. In 1997, he married actor Jada Pinkett Smith. They had met years earlier when she auditioned for a part in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air. The pair didn’t waste time starting a family. They welcomed a son, Jaden Smith, in 1998 and a daughter, Willow Smith, in 2000. 

What does Will Smith’s oldest son, Trey Smith, do for a living?

Trey Smith is best known as an actor. He has appeared on several TV shows, including a recurring role in All of Us. According to IMDb, he has also contributed to several short films, proving he has inherited at least some of his father’s charisma and talent. 

Trey is also a respected rapper and has worked on numerous projects with his younger half-siblings, Jaden Smith and Willow Smith. Trey’s music is on Spotify, where he has about 50 monthly listeners. So it appears he’s still establishing himself as a music artist. But he clearly has the skills to succeed.

Reportedly, Trey Smith’s net worth is around $2 million. That number includes earnings from his music and acting efforts, as well as any endorsement deals. Trey is active on Instagram and regularly posts photos of his famous family. So even though he has kept a relatively low profile, Will Smith’s oldest son appears to be coming into his own.

Trey Smith became a part of a blended family

It likely wasn’t easy for Trey Smith to become part of a new, blended family. In fact, Will Smith revealed that maintaining a close relationship with his oldest son was difficult after his split from Zampino.

“We STRUGGLED FOR YEARS after my divorce from his mother,” the Bad Boys star wrote. “He felt betrayed & abandoned. It is a wild blessing to recover & restore a loving relationship with my beautiful son!”

Still, Will Smith and his oldest son rekindled their close bond. And now, every member of the extended family is incredibly close — even Sheree Zampino and Jada Pinkett Smith. 

As for Trey Smith, he might not maintain a profile as high as his two younger siblings, but he’s still found success in the entertainment industry.
