Will Smith is giving props to all the moms in his life this Mother’s Day!
The Oscar winner, 56, shared a heartfelt and all-encompassing tribute on Instagram to both mothers of his children — wife Jada Pinkett Smith and ex Sheree Zampino — on Sunday, May 11.
In the carousel post — which also featured images of the actor’s own mother, Caroline Bright, and Jada’s mom, Adrienne Banfield-Norris — Will included snaps of both women posing with their children.
“Sending Love to all the Mothers of the world,” Smith captioned the post.
The post included glimpses of Will dancing with his mom, as well as Jada, 53, and Banfield-Norris, 71, posing with a baby Willow.
One image showed Zampino and Jada smiling together alongside Smith’s three children — Trey, 32, whom he shares with Zampino, as well as his two kids with Jada: Willow, 24, and Jaden, 26.
Later in the day, the actor posted a video of Mr. T performing “Treat Your Mother Right” off the 1984 Be Somebody… or Be Somebody’s Fool! home video. “My sentiments exactly,” Will wrote.
Will similarly shouted out all the “spectabulous mothers in my life” last Mother’s Day, and this year, his kids got involved in the motherly love. Willow shared a throwback image on Instagram Stories of herself and Jada alongside the message, “Love you mommy.”

Back in March, the blended Smith family joined forces for a hilarious photo op featuring Will sleeping as his loved ones — including Jada, Zampino and their children — gathered around him. “Someone say it was National Napping Day,” he captioned the post.
The “Miami” rapper welcomed eldest child Trey in 1992 with Zampino, less than three years before the couple divorced. Will then married Jada in 1997. He previously called divorce the “ultimate failure for me” during a June 2020 episode of Red Table Talk.
“I’ve been hurt a lot in my adult life, but I don’t think anything touches the failure of getting divorced from my 2-year-old son’s mother,” Will said at the time.

It’s been a busy year for Will. In March, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air alum had a portion of 59th Street in his hometown of Philadelphia renamed as Will Smith Way, which he called an “honor of a lifetime.”
That same month, he released his first full-length album in 20 years, Based on a True Story, which features collaborations with DJ Jazzy Jeff, Teyana Taylor and Jack Ross. Will revealed in an interview on Sway in the Morning that he called Jay-Z and Kendrick Lamar for advice before returning to music — with Jay-Z’s words inspiring the album’s name.
“He was like, ‘You gotta say what’s true for you.’ He’s like, ‘You’ll be looking at the younger rappers and you want that to be true for you, but you don’t live like that.’ He was like, ‘Be true to your story. Tell your story,’ ” he recalled.
