Co-Parenting with Ben Thompson
In this conversation, Smith offered more context about his bond with fellow parent, Andy Johnson, and discussed how his ex-partner, Ben, will be involved in raising Wyatt despite their 2018 split. “He’s my family,” Smith stated. “And I want him to be part of Wyatt’s life as well.”
Support from Friends
Support doesn’t stop there; Andy Johnson, who welcomed his own child last year, has been a pillar of encouragement throughout Smith’s journey into fatherhood. “He was aware of everything well before and has been motivating me every step of the way,” Smith noted. “Seeing him succeed made me believe I could do this too.”
Bittersweet Reflections
Reflecting on the timing of Wyatt’s birth, Smith shared the bittersweet emotions of becoming a father shortly after his mother’s passing during the global pandemic. “My mom passed in June, so it’s still fresh. In less than a year, I’ve experienced her loss and then was present in the delivery room to welcome new life,” he revealed. “It was a moment of profound contrast—witnessing death and then life. Amidst tragedy, there is also hope and joy. It’s the depth of human experience.”
