According to reports, Willow and Jaden Smith “feel bad for their dad” and wish some things “remained private”.
After their mother made some stunning admissions, including her and Smith’s split seven years ago, while promoting her new memoir “Worthy,” the two young stars, whose parents are Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith, are reportedly wishing some things hadn’t made it into the public eye.
According to a source, Willow, 22, and Jaden, 25, “feel bad for their dad with all the recent headlines about their parents,” according to Entertainment Tonight.
They are aware that he has experienced a lot recently, and this isn’t helping, the person continued.
The source added: “They know he has been going through a lot lately and this isn’t helping.
“They wish some of their family’s private matters remained private.”
The insider added that the 55-year-old actor who has a son Trey Smith with ex-wife Sheree Zampino, is “trying to stay busy and has been hanging out with his good friends and his kids”.
He’s trying not to be affected by any outside sounds, they added. Will adores Jada and believes that he will always have her back.
“He has been trying to be supportive, while also taking care of himself.”
When Pinkett Smith, 52, disclosed last week that she and the “King Richard” actor had been secretly apart for the previous seven years, it made a stir. However, she has since stated that they are devoted to reestablishing their “life partnership” and are “concentrating on healing.”
