In the past, Will Smith has opened up about his relationship with his daughter and said it is the only female relationship he hasn’t messed up.
“Willow’s the only female relationship I’ve ever had that I didn’t mess up,” the 55-year-old said during a 2020 episode of “Red Table Talk,” as quoted by Business Insider.
“I’m sure there are aspects from Willow’s point of view [where] she would say, ‘No, you messed some stuff up, dad,’ but in my mind, I did right by her,” he added.
