Specifically, they have revealed that, as suspected, the young man, who's 27 years old, has decided to stay in the background.

The young man, who was a media figure since childhood, has preferred to focus on his career in a more intimate way.
Jaden Smith, Will Smith's son who chose to step away from the media spotlight
Jaden was born in 1998, the result of the marriage between Will Smith and Jada Pinkett, which also brought the birth of Willow. From a young age, he became an internationally known figure, thanks to his appearances alongside his father in films such as The Pursuit of Happyness. That work was the beginning of a professional career that led him to star in other hits like The Karate Kid and After Earth.
He didn't limit himself to film, as he later explored other artistic facets, such as music, releasing several albums and collaborations. He also ventured into the fashion world, becoming a style icon and a reference for new generations. However, the constant media exposure and the pressure of being Will Smith's son eventually took their toll.
Jaden's recent years have been marked by a notable absence from public events and red carpets. This, along with his scarce presence in the media, has sparked a mystery about his whereabouts and his future plans.
Now, it has been those close to the Smith family who have confirmed what was rumored in many circles. Yes, after several projects and just as many professional failures, the young man has made the conscious decision to step away from the media spotlight.

Jaden's decision doesn't mean that he has left the entertainment world. On the contrary, the young man remains immersed in artistic projects, though in a more reserved manner. He lives far from the family home and has created his own space, from where he combines his passion for music with small film projects.
Among his latest works is his participation as a voice actor in the Netflix film Entertop-tier. Musically, he keeps releasing singles periodically, staying active within the industry, but without the media display that characterized his early years.
The Smith clan's inner circle has made it clear that the young man has chosen to live more peacefully, prioritizing his emotional and creative well-being. After years of being at the epicenter of media attention, the young man has sought to reconnect with his artistic roots from a more personal and less commercial perspective.
Meanwhile, Will Smith keeps shining in the film industry with top-level projects, while Jaden writes his own story on a more discreet stage, but one that's no less significant. The family, with its lights and shadows, keeps showing that talent can take many different forms, and that it's not always necessary to be in the spotlight to leave a mark.
