People have had their ‘minds blown’ after realising why Will Smith’s kids are called Jaden and Willow.
The Men in Black star shares the 25 and 23-year-old with his wife Jada Pinkett Smith.
He’s also dad to Trey, 31 from a previous relationship with Sheree Zampino.
Jaden and Willow have been in the spotlight pretty much since birth with both parents working in Hollywood.
The young lad has actually appeared in films alongside his father, such as The Pursuit of Happiness and was of course the star in 2010’s The Karate Kid.
Both siblings are also musicians – who could forget Willow releasing ‘Whip My Hair’ back in 2010?

The youngest child goes by WILLOW now with her fifth album released in 2022.
But while it’s pretty blatantly obvious, many people are left astounded when the penny drops about the pair’s names.
In a since deleted post, an X user detailed their realisation that the sibling’s names are actually a play on their parent’s.
Another wrote: “I was today years old when I realized Jaden and Willow Smith’s names are just their parents’ names in different forms???? Goodbye.”
Because think about it; Will… Willow, Jada… Jaden. Pretty obvious now, right?
Someone else put: “I feel so dumb for just realizing that Willow and Jaden Smith’s names are just variations of their parent’s names.”
And it turns out, there’s a light-bulb moment with Will’s eldest child too.

Trey’s full name is actually Willard Smith III and a user pointed out: “I thought his name was Trey this whole time just found out today that Trey is his nickname because he’s the 3rd Willard Smith.”
In October last year, Jada revealed that while it’s not a legal divorce, she and Will have been separated since 2016.
The Red Table Talk star made the shock admission to People as she said: “We’re still figuring it out. We’ve been doing some really heavy-duty work together. We just got deep love for each other, and we are going to figure out what that looks like for us.”
So, yep, it doesn’t take a genius to figure out that when Will landed that slap on Chris Rock’s face at the Oscars in 2022, the couple weren’t actually together romantically. And Jada has admitted that she initially thought it was a joke.
She told People: “I was like, ‘There’s no way that Will hit him’. It wasn’t until Will started to walk back to his chair that I even realised it wasn’t a skit.”
