On December 31, 1997, about 100 guests attended their wedding at The Cloisters, near her hometown of Baltimore, Maryland. Regarding her marriage, Jada said that they are "private people" and told one interviewer, “I will throw my career away before I let it break up our marriage. I made it clear to Will. I'd throw it away completely.” Jada and Will have two children, Jaden (b. 1998), and Willow (b. 2000). She is also the stepmother of Trey Smith, Will's son from a previous marriage. Will commented in 2008 on their parenting styles: "We're not strict but we definitely believe it's a very important component for rearing children. It creates safety for them. They understand that they need guidance." Jaden and Willow are currently being homeschooled. The family resides in a 27,000 square foot (2,500 m2) home, on 100 acres (40 ha), in Malibu.
