There few Hollywood kids as high profile as Will Smith's children Jaden and Willow.
So it might surprise you to find out that he has a third kid named Trey.
In fact, if people have heard of Trey, it's likely due to a popular internet meme poking
fun at just how unknown he is compared to his younger brother and sister.
But Trey is a lot more than just a reddit punchline.
Here's a look at Will Smith's other son you don't hear much about.
His mother is on Hollywood Exes
Will Smith had been starring on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air for two years when he and
new wife Sheree had their first and only child, Trey, in 1992.
Three years later, with Will blowing up to become one of the biggest movie stars on the
planet, the marriage ended.
But even though Sheree starred on the VH1 reality show Hollywood Exes, she actually
seems to get along quite well with Smith, keeping the drama on the small screen and
out of their personal lives.
She told Marketing Ministry that maintaining a good relationship was important for Trey's
sake.
"I know sometimes we have a tendency to use our kids as pawns — and if I'm mad at you
then you're not going to see [your father].
That's so foolish, because you're taking it out on your child."
He starred in a music video
Considering Trey now works as a DJ and electronic music producer, it's fitting that he made
his showbiz debut at the age of 5 in his father's music video for the song "Just the Two of
Us," which reached number 20 on Billboard's Hot 100 in 1998.
"Now dad, this is a very sensitive subject."
But that was about it for Trey's Hollywood career.
Unlike brother Jaden, he never seem to catch the acting bug.
And speaking of Jaden, he also made a cameo appearance in the "Just the Two of Us" video
— in his mother's womb.
Now that's precocious!
Tight with Jaden and Willow
Just because he doesn't spend much time in the spotlight doesn’t mean he's not close
with his siblings.
In fact, Trey isn't shy about sharing family photos on social media, and under his stage
name AcE, he collaborated with Willow and Jaden on a song called "Find You Somewhere"
in 2012.
He also produced Willow's single "Why Don't You Cry," and cross promotes his own music
through Jaden's multifaceted brand, MSFTS.
And they all got together for this super touching Mother's Day tribute to Jada Pinkett Smith.
"Honestly ma, like I literally appreciate you so so much.
I'm so blessed to have you as my bonus mother in my life.
Thank you, for being you ma.
I love you."
Awww!
He's ripped
Like his dad, who bulked up for roles in films like I Am Legend and Ali, Trey has been hitting
the gym hard and isn't shy about posting proof of it on Instagram.
Besides inheriting his dad's good genes, though, Trey has also been working with Austin Wheatley,
a professional trainer and former pro-footballer.
Which makes sense, because Trey himself was a wide receiver at famed Oaks Christian High
School, which won consecutive district championships during his time at the school.
Trey was so good, he was offered a football scholarship to Northern Arizona, which he
reportedly passed on in order to pursue his music career.
Working the red carpet
Even though Trey never pursued an acting career, that doesn't mean he wasn't comfortable in
front of the camera at a very young age.
At 12 years old, Access Hollywood hired him to be a special correspondent, reporting live
from the red carpet at the Young Hollywood Awards.
He did a great job flagging down A-list celebs such as Eva Longoria, Jessica Alba, and Lindsay
Lohan, and even asked them some hard hitting questions.
"You heard Aisha's speech right?
"Yes I did."
"And those curves, oh!
I want to personally thank you Lindsay for making Hollywood safe again for girls who
are naturally stacked."
"What does stacked mean?"
"Stacked… look it up in the dictionary."
Sneaker model
Collaborating with Creative Recreation, a Los Angeles-based sneaker company, Trey become
a sneaker model.
He told Pret-a-Porter magazine, "I feel like the shoes I wear each day set a piece of that
day's tempo.
When I'm DJ'ing I usually like any sleek low profile shoes — when I'm up there on stage
I don't want shoes being louder than my mix."
Which makes perfect sense.
Who among us hasn't been in the club just getting jiggy with it only to be completely
distracted by the DJ's footwear selection?
It's a real evening killer.
Carlton taught him how to drive
This may sound hard to imagine, but Alfonso Ribeiro, who played Carlton alongside Will
Smith on The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, is an avid race car enthusiast and has even driven
in a Grand Prix here or there.
For some crazy reason, Smith thought this was a good reason to let Ribeiro teach Trey
how to drive.
"So Trey goes and he takes all the lessons, and he learns how to you know, catch the car
if it drifts and slides, and they teach him all of that stuff.
And then I get a call from the pastor of the church that he was doing donuts in the church
parking lot."
You know, that actually sounds like it could be the plot for an episode of Fresh Prince.
Looks like the apple hasn't fallen far from the tree at all.
