Blended Family Talk

One of the most well kown blended families are Will Smith and his family.  Most well known because they are in the public eye, of course, but I’m sure that didn’t make it easier.  Actor Will Smith got married to Sheree zambino while he was still on the “Fresh Prince of Belair”.  Soon after, the couple had a son named Trey.  The couple divorced in 1995 and Will moved on actress, Jada Pinckett Smith.  The couple married in 1998 and started their very own Blended Family.

Jada has publicly admitted that it wasn’t always easy, especially in the beginning, but she was determined to make it work and embrace Trey as her own son.  Jada also felt it was essictial to embrace Trey’s bilogical mother, Sheree.  She insists that Sheree be involved in all family functions and Sheree is a regular presence in their home, even after Will and Jada went on to have two children of their own.

Sounds like a fairy tale, huh?  Somehow, I think their reality is far from a fairy tale.  In 2004, the famous Hollywood couple developed a sitcom based on their blended family, called “All of Us”.  The show centered story lines on the new couple dealing with the biological mother or even the biological mother dating again.  I guess I write this article to say that with a lot of hard work, devotion and some blessings from God, we all have the possibility of having that fairy tal ending with our own blended families.
