What you never knew about Will's Smith eldest son Trey Smith

 That's Trey Smith





That's DJ Trey Smith 

Because of their eclectic style and strange interviews , most folks know a thing or two about Jaden and Willow Smith, the children of A-listers Will and Jada Pinkett Smith. Jaden's
tw itter account alone is enough to shine a spotlight on the whole family, with its signature all-caps style and pseudo-existential musings: "Im Not A Person." But there is another Smith child, a half-brother to Jaden and Willow, named Trey Smith. He's Will's son from his first marriage, and he's not nearly the public figure his younger siblings have become. That doesn't mean Trey doesn't have his own stuff going on. After all, it would be unusual to have the "Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" for a dad and somehow be leading a boring life. Here's the scoop on the "other" Smith kid.


When you're the child of one of the biggest movie stars in the world, you have to get used to living your life in that shadow. But when your other siblings find a way to carve out their own niche, whether it's your brother becoming the official philosophic voice of millennials on Twitter or your sister recording a hit song at 9-years-old, you might start to feel like a forgotten child.
That's where the internet comes in. When a perception about a public figure becomes generally accepted, whether factually based or not, a meme is sometimes born. Just ask Keanu Reeves about the time a photographer snapped a quick shot of him sitting on a bench looking down, or President Obama giving a thumbs up while holding a beer. Suddenly, Neo is sad and the leader of the free world is giving a hearty seal of approval to all kinds of things in Facebook comment threads.
Trey has become a member of this online club thanks to a meme that coupled an awkwardly posed family photo with the text, "If you ever feel ignored just remember…Will Smith has a 21 year old son named Trey Smith." It's harsh, but clever, even though it doesn't accurately represent their family dynamic, which is all kinds of close-knit.


He has a good relationship with Jaden and Willow

We swear, we'll stop making Trey's life seem like a non-stop comparison to Jaden and Willow after this, but we want to stress that, by all accounts, the three of them seem like a group of siblings who couldn't get along better if they were The Waltons. Trey isn't shy about sharing loving family pics with his bro and sis on
social media . They probably vibe so well, in part, because of their shared interest in music. Jaden raps, Willow sings, they all produce, and Trey is a DJ who spins under the name AcE, which should not to be confused with this other guy who goes by DJ Ace.

Anyway, as AcE, Trey put out a song with Jaden and Willow in 2012 called "Find You Somewhere," which mom Jada directed. Trey also produced Willow's track, "Why Don't You Cry," and cross promotes his own music through Jaden's multifaceted brand, MSFTS. The three Smith kids also collaborated on a touching Mother's Day video for VH1 in which Jaden, of course, had to be weird and compare himself to a painting or something. Seriously, what is it with that kid? Okay, we're done talking about Jaden in this article about Trey. Maybe.



His mother is Sheree Fletcher of nollywood



In 1992, Will was two years into his six-year run with
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and already making the transition to movies. That year, he married Sheree Zampino and they had their first and only child together: Willard Carroll "Trey" Smith III. The marriage
lasted until 1995, when Smith starred in Bad Boys and became a bona fide megastar. Both Smith and Zampino (now Fletcher) agree it was Smith's success that drove a wedge in their partnership. In a Facebook video (via the Daily Mail ), Fletcher refuted Alexis Arquette's claims that Will is secretly gay and explained that as Will's career grew larger, she felt that she grew smaller. They were both too young and immature to handle the responsibilities of married life, she said.
Unlike other Hollywood couples, Smith and Fletcher have extended their egalitarian view of each other into what seems like a healthy relationship for the sake of the kids. In an interview with Marketing Ministry (via
BlogTalkRadio ), Fletcher spoke warmly about Trey's relationship with Jaden and Willow, and she also made it clear that there was never any kind of nasty custody battles. "I know sometimes we have a tendency to use our kids as pawns—and if I'm mad at you then you're not going to see [your father]. That's so foolish, because you're taking it out on your child," she said.
Fletcher now stars on Hollywood Exes , a VH1 show about famous ex-wives that definitely dips its toe into the cesspool of manufactured reality TV drama. Thankfully, she seems savvy enough to turn on the drama for the cameras, but not take it home with her.


He inherited his dad's genetics

Just like his dad, who famously bulked up for roles in Ali (2001), I, Robot (2004), and I Am Legend (2007), Trey has been hitting the gym hard. 

On his Instagram, Trey is not shy about posting shirtless selfies showing off his ripped physique. He's also posted snaps of himself at the gym putting up some serious weight.
Building on the obvious genetic gifts he inherited from his parents, Trey has been working with Austin Wheatley, a professional trainer and former pro-footballer who constantly uses the hashtag
#Allibuildarechampions and claims he "imparts a cerebral approach to fitness with charisma and infectious optimism." Even if Trey doesn't have any interest in acting or athletics, he's working with someone who could condition him for either pursuit. Although, "cerebral approach to fitness" definitely sounds more like the way Jaden would describe sleeping on a treadmill. (Whoops! We're doing it again. Sorry Trey, your brother is just a weird dude.)




Collaborating with Creative Recreation, a Los Angeles-based sneaker company, and with Quincy Brown, stepson to another megastar by the name of Diddy, Trey become a sneaker model. It seems the progeny of successful cross-platform entertainers are a perfect fit for the company that makes products to "thrive in energy-charged environments, where actions speak louder than words ."
Because Trey is a Smith, he doesn't just show up and have his photo taken while wearing cool kicks. He takes this stuff seriously, man. Trey told Pret-a-Reporter that while working with the shoe company he'd be applying his father's philosophy of "Everything you touch, make it better," which is an admirable notion, but why is he choosing to specifically improve the world of footwear?
"I feel like the shoes I wear each day set a piece of that day's tempo. When I'm DJ'ing I usually like any sleek low profile shoes—when I'm up there on stage I don't want shoes being louder than my mix," he said. Okay, now this all makes perfect sense. Who among us hasn't been in the club just getting jiggy with it only to be completely distracted by the DJ's footwear selection? It's a real evening killer.


He was a good sport man while in high

While attending Oaks Christian High School, a private institution that costs around $30,000 per year to attend, Trey played football. Oaks Christian didn't have just any old football program. According to ABC News , in the team's first 10 seasons, it racked up "six district championships and boasts 120 victories, 12 losses and one tie." That's an outstanding record, so for Trey to be one of the team's star wide receivers, he must have been pretty good. He was also playing alongside some other notable celebrity offspring, namely Joe Montana's son, Nick, and Wayne Gretzky's son, Trevor, schoolwho were both quarterbacks.

Trey was reportedly "offered a scholarship by FCS Northern Arizona," according to the Daily Mail , but he supposedly turned it down to pursue a career in music. At least, that's what everyone speculated. By the way, why a school felt that offering a scholarship to the son of a guy who earns tens of millions of dollars per movie would be any kind of a lure is beyond us. Now, had FCS Northern Arizona offered to provide a time machine that would have allowed Trey to go back and stop the production of Wild Wild West (1999) or block Twitter on Jaden's phone, then maybe, just maybe, they could have gotten him.

He was a sneaker and a model in what he is good at.

Even though he's now a minor celebrity in the music business as a DJ and electronic music producer, Trey made his showbiz debut when he was just 5 years old in the video for his dad's song, "Just the Two of Us." You may remember him standing on a prop ship in his little v-neck sweater and saying, "Now dad, this is a very sensitive subject…" It was adorable, and both the song and the video were a huge hit. The tune reached no. 20 on
Billboard's Hot 100 , and the video came out back when they still showed videos on TV, so it was a big deal for Trey to be in it.

A few years later, Trey had a small role on two episodes of a show Will and Jada created called All of Us, but he must not have felt the spark, because the series lasted four more seasons and Trey did not appear again. His next acting gig occurred five years later for a short called The Speech in which he's credited as "Football Player," so it's safe to say he never caught the acting bug.
It's also worth noting that toward the end of the "Just the Two of Us" video, Jada appears. Will is next to her, smiling and touching her belly. Yep, you guessed it, she is carrying none other than Jaden himself. Even before he was born, he couldn't help but upstage his big brother.
