Every parent wants their children to grow up and leave the “nest” to live their greatest life and start a family. Seeing kids grow and leave home is wonderful and bittersweet.

Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith went through that phase, and although they expected their independent and mature son Jaden to want to live on his own at 16 or 17, they still found it hard when he asked to “leave” on his 15th birthday.

Jaden was born famous. His celebrity parents “robbed” him and Willow of a normal childhood.

treat me like I’m not a normal human so often,” Jaden told Dazed Magazine in 2018

He made skater friends and fit in. ”If I wasn’t famous and didn’t have a

ll this sh** going on, and I didn’t have to fly to all these various locations all the time, I would just be here with these guys, every day simply skating. “My vibe,” he said.

Will, his father, told BBC Radio 1Xtra: “Jaden is 100 percent brave.

Anything. Scares parents. Nonetheless, he lives and dies by his aesthetic choices.”

Jaden may have asked his mother to allow him leave due to such behaviour. Jada discussed tr*umatics on Red Table Talk. “At 15 years old, Jaden, and I remember this day well, it’s probably one of my most sad times,” Jada remarked. “You said, ‘Mom, I have to leave here to live my life.
Emancipation

at 15 required parental consent. Jada anticipated a good day. Adrienne Banfield-Norris, co-host of Red Table Talk, stated she would never allow such if she were Jada. Adrienne isn’t the only one who evaluates the Smiths’ “strange” parenting.

Jada knows her kids best. “Knew. His age. “He was making films—he could truly manage his life,” she said.

“Every child has unique demands. He wanted out. I understood. I experienced freedom outside the bubble. I knew releasing him would accelerate his return.”

Jaden, 23, will live with his parents until 2017. He owns a $4 million property five minutes from his parents.

The end. I’m staying. Jaden told Ellen DeGeneres in 2013 that this house is free. “His house has everything,” he joked. “[Will] says I can get my own house when I make a better movie.
