Smith has not made any public appearances since his 2022 Oscars incident. However, he could not miss his children's performances. It was a memorable moment for the actor and his family.



 

Jaden was also very proud of his sister. He was seen wearing a t-shirt that read "Willow's brother" under his black leather jacket. The brother-sister duo performed a rendition of their "Summertime in Paris" collaboration for the audience. When the song came to an end, the two shared a warm hug and sang each other's praises, with Willow calling her brother her favorite person.

Smith has two children, Willow and Jaden, with his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith, and is also father to son Trey with his former wife, Sheree Zampino. Willow released her latest album, "Coping Mechanism," in October 2022. She announced the release of the album on Instagram and posted a clip of the music video for "ur a stranger," which has Paris Jackson in it, reports PEOPLE.

Willow also co-hosts a show with her mother and grandmother called "Red Table Talk." She has spoken about her love and sex life and also opened up about being polyamorous. "I would definitely want one man and one woman," Willow said. "I feel like I could be polyfidelitous with those two people."

Sunday night's Coachella show was also the return of Ocean, who made his first live performance since 2017. The crowd was expecting him to announce a new album, but he cleared all the rumors. “I wanna talk about why we’re here today,” he said. “It’s not because of a new album. Not that there’s not a new album, but it’s not right now.” The performance was delayed by an hour. However, Frank performed songs like "Chanel," "Solo" and "Ferrari," according to the Independent.
