Les Zampino Is Sheree Zampino’s Father & Is Also Known as a 9th Degree Taekwondo Master

Reality TV star Sheree Zampino's parents often spark public curiosity. While her mother values her privacy, her father, Les Zampino, has been open about his fascinating life—something his daughter aspires to embrace in the future.

Les Zampino is relishing fatherhood and cherishing quality family time in an unconventional manner. He is a dad to three children, one of whom is Sheree Zampino, the ex-wife of actor Will Smith.

Les, who is of Italian descent, may not follow traditional parental roles, but it appears that he and Sheree's mother, an African-American woman, have forged a harmonious bond, despite their differences.

Les Zampino Embraces an Active Lifestyle

Sheree Zampino's father is savoring his late 70s while upholding a lifestyle that nurtures his emotional and physical health. Les, who hails from Schenectady, New York, is a ninth-degree Taekwondo master, an achievement he obtained in 2019.

The "Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" star has expressed pride in how Les leads a healthy lifestyle. In 2021, she shared a photo of Les flexing his muscles at 74, remarking that she was impressed and "gratefully hopeful" to have those genes in the future.

In 2022, Les celebrated his 75th birthday with his family. Sheree captured the moment in a photograph, showing Les in high spirits alongside his grandson Trey Smith, the "RHOBH" star's son with actor Will Smith.

When it comes to matters of the heart, Les seems genuinely content with his romantic life. His Facebook profile indicates that he's in a relationship, although it doesn't specify his partner's name.

While little is known about who Les's current partner is, he is known for his past romance with Sheree's mother. However, both Les and the reality star's mom never married each other.

Les Has Two Kids Who Seem to Live a Private Life

Besides his famous daughter, Les has two more children, though the identity of their mothers remains uncertain. His two sons, Richard and Eugene, who also go by the name David, are part of the family.

Little is known about Eugene, but he frequently appears in his half-sister's social media posts, with a notable photo taken in 2021 in Las Vegas, where he was joined by his half-brother, their father Les, and Les's grandson. However, Eugene prefers to maintain a relatively private life.

Between Les's sons, Sheree recalled that his half-brother Richard had a warm relationship with her mom, as she wholeheartedly welcomed him into their lives even though they were not biologically related. She said:

"She loved on him because she understood what it was like for her kids to be shunned and pushed aside. And she would never do that to another child."

Les's Relationship with his daughter Remains Solid

Les maintains a blended family, and his relationship with his daughter remains intact. This father-daughter bond was evident on Father's Day 2023 when Les received from her a loving tribute with a photo of him from his early years as a father.

In another touching father-daughter moment, Les had an emotional reunion with the TV star a few years ago. In an Instagram video from 2021, Les was chatting with his friends at one table when his partner orchestrated a delightful surprise—Sheree's sudden appearance.

It took a few seconds for Les to realize that the person before him was his daughter, and he was pleasantly surprised to see her in person. Les eventually hugged her and started crying, overwhelmed by Sheree's presence.

Les's blended family bears a striking resemblance to Sheree's own family. Les's daughter shares a harmonious relationship with Will and his current spouse, Jada Pinkett Smith. The couple has two children, Jaden Smith and Willow Smith, who are Trey's half-siblings.
