Will Smith is ultimate proud parent as he watches children Willow and Jaden perform at Coachella

Will Smith was every inch the proud dad as he watched his children perform at a packed crowd at Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival over the weekend.

The Oscar-winning actor, 54, had the biggest smile on his face as he shared a video of him in the crowd watching his 22-year-old daughter Willow’s solo set on Sunday night, during which she was joined by her 24-year-old brother Jaden.

Giving a taste of the atmosphere in the Mojave Tent, he hailed it “WILLOWCHELLA!!” in the accompanying caption on Instagram.

His fans rushed to the comments section to sing their praises, declaring the King Richard star “dad goals”.

“That’s genuine pride and selfless adoration right there! Not Will being famous, just a proud dad beaming over his child!” wrote one person.

“Proud dad moments,” a couple of fans replied, while another person described him as hashtag “dad goals.”

Jaden was also clearly very proud of his younger sister, sporting a t-shirt under his black leather jacket which read: “Willow’s brother”.

The siblings performed a rendition of their Summertime in Paris collaboration for the audience who were lapping it up.

When the song finished, they shared a warm embrace and sang each other’s praises with Willow calling her brother her favourite person.
