He revealed a sentimental statement Trey made to him on the overseas trip.

“So we’ve been doing this, hanging at the F1, and he said, “You know what dad? I just realized you’re not just my dad – I’m pretty sure you’re my best friend,”‘ Smith recalled, getting misty-eyed over the moment. “I was like, yeah man, prolly, prolly.”

Will laid out the circumstances in the caption of the post, writing that “it has not always been like this between Trey & I”.
