Willow Smith is wise beyond her years, as her mom Jada Pinkett Smith recently revealed in one of her many interviews surrounding her tell-all book, Worthy.
What’s more, the 22-year-old, along with her older siblings, Trey, 30, and Jaden, 25, have taught their parents a valuable lesson throughout the years.
Talking to People, Jada said of her children: “I think what they’ve taught me collectively is that deep sense of self-acceptance.
Like my kids, they love every part of me. They love every part of the journey. They are just such beautiful beings in that way, just the level of love, unconditional love, that they have for me and their dad.”
She added: “It’s one thing to want to be the person that gives that unconditional love, to be the recipient of that unconditional love just creates a whole other understanding and whole other learning that comes with that.”

Jada is mom to Jaden and Willow, and is a doting stepmom to Trey – Will’s oldest son with first wife Sheree Zampino.

Opening up to InStyle, Jada delved into her family’s awareness and subsequent reactions to her revelations.
“What I did was tell them what’s in the book, what stories I was going to tell about them specifically, and [ask] if they were okay with that,” she explained.

Worthy features many startling admissions, including the fact that Jada and Will have been separated since 2016.
The strain on their marriage, as Jada described, reached a breaking point, “By the time we got to 2016, we were just exhausted with trying.”
Yet, she also emphasized their shared commitment to their relationship, stating on the Today Show that they’re now in a “deep, healing space” and are intently focusing on “healing the relationship between us.”

According to the Baltimore Sun, Jada was stunned to see Will, who took to the microphone to share his love for his wife.
“I just really wanted to come out and just be here and hold it down for you the way you have held it down for me,” he first explained.

According to the Baltimore Banner, Will also declared during his toast: “As I stand here before you today, I am happier than I’ve ever been in my entire life,” adding: “I have achieved every single thing I have ever wanted in my entire life.”
