At the 94th Academy Awards, Will Smith was thrust into the spotlight not only to accept his award for Best Actor but also to defend his wife against a joke by slapping Chris Rock.
However, the reason why Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith named their children Willow and Jaden is a topic that users are concerned about.
Twitter users' simple revelation left the internet astounded by the obvious explanation behind their children's names.
In a since-deleted post, a Twitter user named Shek detailed her realization that the siblings' names are a play on their parents' own.
The revelation about the names of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith's children, a play on their parents' own names, was shared by a Twitter user named Shek in a post that has since been deleted.
Another user wrote: "I was today years old when I realized Jaden and willow smith’s names are just their parent's names in different forms???? Goodbye."
Someone else wrote"I feel so dumb for just realizing that Willow and Jaden Smith’s names are just variations of their parent’s names,"
Willow, the 21-year-old singer, and actress, had a notable role alongside her father in the movie "I Am Legend" released in 2007.
Jaden, on the other hand, also acted in a film with Will Smith titled "The Pursuit of Happyness" in 2006.
Additionally, Will Smith has another son, Willard Smith III, known as Trey Smith, from his previous marriage to actress-turned-reality TV star Sheree Zampino.
"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," a user wrote.
In 1992, Will Smith and Sheree Zampino welcomed their first child, whom they named Trey. Will Smith's marriage fell apart when the child was 3 years old, and the tension between the adults kept the actors from being with the kids all the time.
Years after their divorce, Will Smith and Trey met and re-established their father-son relationship. The other two children include Jaden (24) and Willow (22), who are the actor's children with his current wife, Jada Pinkett Smith.
All three of Will Smith's children have achieved moderate success in their careers, but they have not been able to avoid the public's attention. Will Smith once admitted that his children taught him more than he taught them
