Rex Smith & Brandon Smith (part 1)

Rex Smith and Son Brandon Smith are interviewed on how they found each other

[@The_Noblesse]

Awwww....... glad he didn't reject but immediately accepted him

[@nandep2149]

🤙 A VERY similar thing happened in our family. A young man saw a news report about my bro-in-law (a retired world champ sportsman). He had been told that the sportsman's brother, my husband (also a retired sportsman) is his father. The young man sent a request via one of the sports news sites asking to get in touch. I was reading and gathering all the well wishes from friends and fans when I saw the message. My first reaction was surprise... but without hesitation, I wrote him back and gave him our contact info.; then, told my husband and we proceeded to communicate w/him. It was important that father and son had a positive, open, easy going path to get to know one another and have a relationship. No one had apprehensions -- family is family! 💕 Another fun similarity: our "new" son's name = Brandon. 🙂

[@jenplinguist]

He looks soooo much like him!!

[@quintuplebanned4267]

A bit of a mini-me. It’s sweet, and sad. But he has the charisma, it could be from either or both parents.

[@DreamScape799]

Rex just loves having a son :)

[@LovingAtlanta]

💞Glad he’s a beautiful man with a beautiful heart. Happy story. 💞

[@marieferrar8860]

love rex smith and his songs...!!! and his son looks like him...like a mini him...:-)

[@nandep2149]

The care and friendship that Brandon shared w/the houseless man before the concert is heartwarming. Brandon's mother and stepfather raised a compassionate, respectful and intelligent young man. It's wonderful that families on both sides were supportive. Hopefully, the mother, stepfather, Brandon, Rex, Rex's other kids and wives, and all family members were able to come together and maintain healthy relationships. May they continue with the greatest blessings. With ALOHA from O'ahu 🤙 (not far from the Kahala Hilton, where Rex stayed -- hotel has a different name now). 🌊🏝

Never heard anyone say a bad thing about Rex Smith.

[@thezmanchar]

He is a spitting image.

[@Vanasse1]

Wow! He looks JUST like him..... damn.

[@lasbagman1]

Did Brandon inherit his Dad's Musical talents ? They sure do look alike

[@johnwlaing70]

Rex Smith could not deny him if he tried. DNA test not required.

[@jglow22]

You are not kidding! A blind man could see the resemblance!

[@deltaboy767]

Looks just like him too, identical.

[@jglow22]

[@tkdennis8346]

Wow, what an amazing story. I've never seen an undeniable resemblance to someone like that before.

[@dianemilligan3839]

Absolutely! Their voices are very similar, too. It's incredible!

[@basauer713]

I actually met him in 1981 backstage..... great guy!!!

[@judyholiday653]

I drove my parents crazy playing my little 45 of "You take my breath away"..I had a huge crush on Rex had his posters all over my bedroom walls..Those were the days of innocence and happy memories.

[@halcyonataractic8623]

So did I. And I learned how to play the guitar because of him.

[@robynheavner4689]

Have Rex's album forever! Sooner or Later tv movie I was 19, bought album after. Still like Rex Smith!❤🎶❤

[@lorellehugostino975]

Awww, I so LOVE this story! Whatever the circumstances were that brought this fine, young man into this world, it is so very apparent that his mom put HIS very best interest at heart in giving him a loving, happy, healthy family life to grow up in! hunky heartthrob for his sexy good looks and mesmerizing voice, as we cut pictures out of Tiger Beat and Teen Beat magazines to plaster on our bedroom walls and lockerswould

[@whatthefudge8927]

[@stephenrgis]

Great story. Thanks for sharing!

[@YTfancol]

[@robertsdale3367]

Rex Smith is absolutely thrilled having his newfound son in his life. At this stage he only has two daughters. He went on to have another son with his third wife (the woman in the audience here) and another daughter. Brandon is the only one who looked like him
