Jada Pinkett-Smith praises husband Will and his ex for 'good' job raising their son Trey

Jada Pinkett Smith has praised her husband Will Smith and his ex-wife Sheree Zampino for their excellent parenting skills.

The Gotham star took to Instagram to pay tribute to the pair as she wished their son Trey Smith a happy birthday.

Posting a picture of the DJ to her social media account Jada gushed over her stepson as she admitted feeling his parents had done a "stellar" job.

Jada wrote: "Trey I can't believe you are 30 and what a stellar 30 you are. My greatest wish for you is that the wings upon your heart continue to help you soar to the heights within your spirit that you are always reaching for.

"It's been a joy to watch you fly higher and higher and become more free and wise as you go."

She then thanked him for "loving her" as she continued to praise him adding: "I love and admire you. Thank you for loving me. Happy, Happy 30th Birthday. Congratulations @shereezampino and @willsmith —ya’ll done good."

It wasn't just Jada showing the love either - with Sheree rushing to comment on the post and give thanks right back to Jada.

She said: "Correction… 'WE' done good! I love you J! #BestBonusMomEver."

Sheree and Will were married between 1992 - 1995 before going their separate ways, Will then fell for Jada with the pair getting hitched in 1997.

Will is also dad to his children with Jada, Jaden, 24, and 21-year-old Willow.

Last month Sheree was a guest on Jada's Red Table Talk as they discussed how they overcame adversities in their relationship to form a strong bond for their co-parenting duties.

Jada said: "We have developed a really nice sisterhood. But it hasn't been easy along the way, sometimes we did have to fake it to make it."

She continued: "For me, it really was just about maturity. Not understanding the marital dynamic. Like, ‘OK, if divorce papers are sent and people are over it, then this is done.' Guess what? It ain't never done…So that was my biggest misconception—that this woman is part of this family."

Sheree then admitted that the hardest and most important part for her was making sure that Trey was given the best possible care in all aspects of his life.

She explained: "Coming into this, doing the blended thing, my only requirement was that you treated my son well. You did that. And your heart was always right towards him, wanting the best for him."

Will also celebrated his sons birthday by posting a series of throwback photos of the pair from when he was a baby up until the present day.

He played Montell Jordan's This Is How We Do It as the soundtrack over the slideshow as he captioned the post: "D*MN?! I officially have a THIRTY (30) YEAR OLD!! @treysmith0011."
