There has been talk for years that Will Smith didn’t have the best relationship with his eldest son, Trey — and seeing family photos of Jada, Jaden, Willow and Will without him only made matters worse.

But these days, Will and his 26-year old first born are closer than ever, despite turbulent times in the past. Will revealed in a touching video on Instagram:

It has not always been like this between Trey & I. We STRUGGLED FOR YEARS after my Divorce from his Mother. He felt betrayed & abandoned. It is a Wild Blessing to recover & restore a Loving Relationship with My Beautiful Son!

Trey is definitely excited to be rebuilding his relationship with pops. His latest pics on IG are mostly of him and Will spending quality time together in Abu Dhabi.

Just beautiful.
