Will Smith\u2019s children, Jaden and Willow<\/a>, admitted they were unhappy with their father pushing them into the spotlight at a young age.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Although his kids\u2019 careers were taking off, the “King Richard” star confessed that his family didn\u2019t share the same sentiments as their father.<\/p>\n

“2010 was like the greatest year as an artist, as a parent. \u2018Karate Kid\u2019 came out in June, ‘Whip My Hair’ came out in October,” Smith shared on Kevin Hart\u2019s “Hart to Heart” series.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I’m building this dream of a family I’ve had in my mind. I’m going to do it better than my father did it.”<\/p>\n

Despite the success, Smith added that it tore his family apart and his kids resented him during their early rise to fame.<\/p>\n

“Nobody in my family was happy,” Smith continued. “No one wanted to be in a platoon. Willow was the first one to begin the mutiny and it was my first realization that success and money don’t mean happiness. Up until that point, I really believed that you could succeed your way\u2014to a house and a family\u2026 and you could win your way to happiness.”<\/p>\n

The father of three came to the realization that having fame and fortune doesn\u2019t always result in happiness.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Material circumstances do not equal happiness and, in a lot of cases, they can be the reason you’re not happy.”<\/p>\n

He noted, “You can have so much stuff that it makes you miserable\u2026 That was my first pull-back, and I was like, ‘OK, what am I missing?'”<\/p>\n

Smith\u2019s comments<\/a> come after his daughter Willow said it took her a “couple of years” to “forgive” her father.<\/p>\n

In 2018, Willow opened up about the complicated relationship she had with her famous dad after she skyrocketed to fame following her hit single “Whip My Hair” when she was just 10 years old.<\/p>\n

“I definitely had to forgive you and daddy for that whole \u2018Whip My Hair\u2019 thing. It was mostly daddy because he was so harsh at certain times,” Smith told mom Jada Pinkett Smith during an episode of “Red Table Talk.”<\/p>\n

“It was a couple of years, honestly. Trying to regain trust for not feeling like I was being listened to or like no one cared how I felt.”<\/p>\n

WILL SMITH SAYS DAUGHTER WILLOW’S SHAVED HEAD TAUGHT HIM A LESSON<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

In 2012, Willow shaved her head bald in the middle of her “Whip My Hair” tour to send a message to her father.\u00a0<\/p>\n

She had told her father halfway through the tour that she wanted out. He insisted she continue with the planned shows, prompting the then 11-year-old to take drastic measures.<\/p>\n

Smith has been married to his wife, Jada Pinkett since 1997. They share two children together, Jaden<\/a> who was born on July 8, 1998, and Willow who was born on October 31, 2000.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Like her brother, Willow also acted alongside her father and played his daughter in the movie “I Am Legend.” Smith also has a son Trey Smith from a previous marriage to Sheree Zampino.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
