'Ladies and gentleman, this is my son Jaden.
'It's a very good time to say I love you.'
The proud dad continued: 'Happy Father's Day to all the fathers out there, that's my guy right there.'
Will then encouraged the crowd to turn to their kids and tell them they love them, asking them also to embrace for a hug.
The star then continued his set, including a short performance of iconic 90s track Prince Of Bel Air, from the beloved sitcom.
He also sang Miami, with DJ Jazxy Jeff joining him on stage to belt out the nostaglic hit.
Will's appearance comes after he left fans divided as he continues his music comeback.
The dad-of-three released a music video for his new single Pretty Girls on Friday, less than three months after the release of his last studio album, Based on a True Story, which flopped in the charts.
Mariah Carey, Benson Boone, Tate McRae, Myles Smith, Lola Young, Jade Thirlwall and surprise act JLS also took to the stage at the Summertime Ball.
Meanwhile, Jessie J arrived at Wembley Stadium for the concert, just a week after sharing her breast cancer diagnosis with fans.
The singer, 37, flashed a beaming smile as she put on a brave face, wearing a black mini dress layered over a sheer black catsuit.
Adding height with black patent leather wedges, Jessie beamed for the cameras ahead of her highly anticipated performance.
She previously said how her cancer had been caught 'early', telling her fans in an emotional video: 'Cancer sucks in any form but I'm holding onto the word early.'
Jessie revealed that she discovered she had the illness before the release of her hit new single No Secrets, which was released on April 25.
The mother of one said she would be undergoing surgery after performing at the Summertime Ball in London.

Rise of the £120 birthday party — for pets
Every dog has its day but so do cats, rabbits, parrots, hamsters and guinea pigs, according to new research that reveals Britons are spending big on their pets' birthdays. Almost two thirds of Britain's 22 million pet owners celebrate their animal's birthday or adoption day, the study found, spending an average of £121 to reach a combined £1.7 billion. The research found that new toys and gourmet food were the most popular presents, chosen by two thirds of owners, followed by a new bed or blanket. Half bought a new collar, leash or other practical gift, and a similar proportion bought a personalised gift. Owners can, for example, have their cat's picture printed on a plush grey cushion for £25.95 or have their dog's face on a four-piece coaster set for £14.95. Those happy to pay a bit more can buy a custom portrait of their pet in military dress for £65.99 or a Dog DNA kit for £104.99. Other options in the burgeoning pet birthday market include a paw-print clay mould and photo frame kit for £25.95 or a 'light me when my dog farts' candle for £12.99. More tech-savvy owners might prefer the Wickedbone, the world's first smart and bluetooth-enabled remote-controlled dog toy, that is being sold by Cheerble for £100. But many owners do not stop at presents. Half have thrown their pets a party, including 83 per cent in Generation Z and 79 per cent of millennial owners. For over-55s the figure is 39 per cent. One younger pet owner who threw an elaborate first birthday party for her miniature dachshund is Tuscany Wilson. 'My dog is like my child and I knew since the day I got her I wanted to throw a birthday party for her,' she said. 'I took a lot of inspiration from Pinterest for birthday party themes.' In total, Wilson spent nearly £400, inviting her dog-owning friends to her house for the party. It included a dog cake and cupcakes, food from a local restaurant and decorations. She said: 'We had a play patch for the dog guests which included toys laid on the grass for them. The highlight was definitely spoiling my dog and getting to see her have a good birthday. I will definitely do it again.' Some celebrities spare no expense on pets' birthdays. The Formula 1 champion Sir Lewis Hamilton, for example, threw his bulldog Roscoe a party fit for a human, complete with party hats, dog guest list and a personalised dairy-free cake; Roscoe follows a vegan diet. Even after the death of Karl Lagerfeld, the fashion designer, in 2019, his cherished cat Choupette continues to enjoy extravagant celebrations: her 11th birthday was marked with a party on a private jet. Sofía Vergara, an actress best known for her role in the television show Modern Family, once celebrated her son's chihuahua Baguette's birthday by waking her up with a dramatic shower of dollar bills, launched from a money gun. The research found that one in eight people who threw a party for their pet did so specifically to create content for their social media. Gia Belle's party was posted on TikTok to Wilson's 1,000 followers. Tuscany Wilson and her dog Gia Belle at the extravagant birthday party Even if social media content is not the objective of a pet's party, more than half of dog owners and two thirds of cat owners still post pictures of the event online. When asked why they celebrate their pet's birthdays, almost half of people said it was because their animals are considered a part of the family. This might also explain why more than half of pet owners sign their pet's name on greeting cards when they send them. Perhaps surprisingly, the research found that guinea pig owners are more likely than both dog and cat owners to celebrate their pet's milestones.

Arise, Sir David Beckham
'England trail by two goals to one. Beckham could raise the roof here with a goal,' goes the commentary, as David Beckham lines up a free-kick against Greece, shortly before whipping it into the top corner. 'I don't believe it! David Beckham scores the goal to take England all the way to the World Cup finals! Give that man a knighthood!' The year was 2001, and the ultimate honour seemed close for England's biggest football player – and perhaps the most famous living Briton, full stop. Yet as the longtime Beckham watcher Zoe Williams describes, it has been a long wait. As she tells Helen Pidd, Beckham was a pioneer for many reasons in the 1990s and early 2000s: a gay icon in a masculine world; an openly loving dad; and, of course, an extremely successful athlete. But his career has been beset by scandal, too – from reports of affairs, and allegations over his tax arrangements, to disappointments over his association with Qatar. Still, on Friday it was finally announced that Beckham was to receive his knighthood – the fruits of a campaign for the honour that started more than a decade ago. So why now? And what does it say about the UK's honours system – and its class system – that it took so long?

The Documentary Podcast Amoako Boafo: Creating space to celebrate Blackness
The Ghanaian artist Amoako Boafo has attracted global fame for his bold and sensual portraits. He paints bodies and faces using his fingertips instead of a brush, capturing form through direct, tactile gestures. When he went to art school in Vienna, he was struck by the extent to which Black subjects had been overlooked in global art. Determined to change the status quo, he drew inspiration from early 20th Century Viennese artists like Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele and added his own techniques to invent a fresh new style of portraiture. Lucy Ash follows his preparations for a major new show at Gagosian in London. It involves a transformation of the gallery space into a full-scale recreation of a Ghanaian courtyard – just like the shared space in which he was raised. With the help of his collaborator, Glenn De Roché, an architect famous for community buildings and with an artist friend who produced a set of playing cards, especially for the event. This episode of The Documentary, comes to you from In the Studio, exploring the processes of the world's most creative people.
