Fresh Prince’s Aunt Vivian actor shares update on relationship with Will Smith after lengthy feud
Will Smith and Fresh Prince co-star give update after 30-year feud
- Janet Hubert, the original Aunt Vivian from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, has confirmed her relationship with co-star Will Smith is now "so good" following their nearly 30-year feud.
- The dispute originated in 1993 after Hubert's departure from the sitcom, when Smith publicly attributed her exit to ego, contradicting her claim of "creative differences."
- Their reconciliation began during the show's 2020 reunion special, where Smith apologised, admitting he "made the set very difficult for Janet."
- Smith further took responsibility in 2024, stating he "horribly underestimated" Hubert's value and contribution to the series.
- Hubert revealed that Smith has provided significant support for her independent animated feature, JG and the BC Kids, by offering his website and social media teams.
