Will Smith's efforts as a dad are getting serious recognition from his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith -- who paid a glowing Father's Day tribute to him ... despite their bizarre dynamic.
The actress dropped a family IG pic Sunday -- which featured their kids Willow and Jaden, alongside his ex-wife Sheree Zampino and their son Trey ... all while giving props to Will for rocking the game as both a girl dad and a boy dad.
Jada acknowledged Will didn't just hit the mark in fatherly duties -- he went above and beyond.
In the photo, Will's catching some Z's while his family frolics around him. As an extra touch, her second photo featured a baseball cap with "Happy Zaddy Day" written across it.
Well rested, Will himself paid tribute to all the dads out there on Father's Day too ... later sharing a hilarious clip of a little girl whacking a ball at her father on crutches -- all while shouting out the next gen of sluggers being raised by dads taking one for the team.
The Jada shout-out comes after JPS and Will put on a united front at the "Bad Boys: Ride or Die" premiere with their squad -- marking their first public appearance together since Jada dropped the bombshell about their 7-year separation.
It's a murky relationship for sure, but they refuse to file for divorce -- and it seems clear their bond is still solid. So ... good for them?
