Will Smith’s father, Willard Carroll Smith Sr., has reportedly died. The news was announced on Instagram by the Concussion actor’s ex-wife, actress Sheree Fletcher.

“We’re gonna miss you Daddio! You lived & played by your own rules…you truly were 1 of a kind! You instilled discipline, and a work ethic that has created a legacy in your honor!” Fletcher captioned an old family snapshot. She and Smith were married from 1992-1995 and share son Trey.

Smith has not publicly addressed his father’s passing, but referred to him in the past as “a steady and positive figure” in his life.
