Jada Pinkett Smith knows her kids were raised by the power of Will.
Indeed, the Red Table Talk host shared a hilarious tribute to Will Smith—dad to her children Jaden Smith, 25, and Willow Smith, 23—for Father's Day.
"Will thank you for being a devoted girl dad/boy dad and doing all you do," Jada wrote in a June 16 Instagram post. "Happy Father's Day—you deserve the rest."
Jada's final note in her message was a humorous reference to her photo of the entire Smith family—including herself, Jaden and Willow as well as Will's 31-year-old son Trey and his ex Sheree Zampino—grinning behind a sleeping Will.
The silly tribute also included some of the celebrations the family partook in for the special day, as Jada also attached a picture of a baseball cap with the phrase, "Happy Zaddy Day," as well as a cup that said "Happy Father's Day."
Will's sweet celebrations come shortly after another special family day for the Smiths. Jada and The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star put on a united front along with their children and Jada's mom Adrienne Banfield-Norris for Bad Boys: Ride or Die premiere May 30.
At the event in Hollywood, Calif., the duo also posed for some shots of just the two of them—marking their first red carpet snaps since Jada confirmed they have been separated since 2016.
And while the news was surprising for fans, the couple have continued to prioritize family in the public eye. Meanwhile, Jada has also emphasized that their eight-year separation won't precipitate a divorce.
"I made a promise that there will never be a reason for us to get a divorce, we will work through whatever," the Girls Trip star explained to NBC at the time. "I just haven't been able to break that promise."
Will wasn't the only star treated to a witty Father's Day tribute. Keep reading to see how all the celebrity dads celebrated.
