However, the two almost ended their relationship when Smith's divorce from his first wife hit a snag.

Smith waited until he and his first wife, Sheree Zampino, filed for divorce before pursuing a relationship with Jada.

Just as the divorce papers were ready to sign, Zampino asked Smith to reconsider and try again at their marriage.

Smith was shocked that Jada agreed with Zampino and that she wanted him to try again for the sake of his son, Trey.

Smith knew that Jada was sincere about pushing him to put his son first, and it helped him decide to go ahead with the divorce.

After his divorce was finalized, Smith and Jada delved fully into their relationship and soon married and had kids.

Smith knew he had to blend Trey with his new family, so he sought the advice of a psychologist who told him to let Trey name Jaden.

After several mishaps, Trey chose the name Christopher, and the new baby was named Jaden Christopher Syre Smith.
