According to an Entertainment Tonight source, Willow and Jaden Smith are “feeling bad” for their father in the aftermath of Jada Pinkett Smith’s shocking revelations.
According to the source, the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air actor’s children ‘feel awful for their dad with all the recent stories about their parents.’
Willow, 22, and Jaden, 25, both expressed a desire for’some of their family’s private affairs to stay secret.’
The insider was referring to Jada Pinkett Smith’s shocking disclosure that she and her husband had been separated for seven years.
Although the loyal children cared for their renowned father, a source told DailyMail that they felt mixed emotions after their mother’s revelations, with both Willow and Jaden feeling relieved that the truth was out.
Although Jaden and Willow adore their mother and mimic many of her mannerisms and characteristics, they are pleased that the news is finally out there so everyone can move on with their lives,’ a source told DailyMail.
The siblings allegedly felt quite ‘uncomfortable’ whenever they were asked about the health of their parents’ relationship throughout the years.
Despite their joy that the truth was finally out, both Willow and Jaden thought that the news ‘wasn’t helping’ the Men in Black actor on his personal journey.
‘They know he has been going through a lot lately and this isn’t helping,’ said the insider who spoke to Entertainment Tonight.
In spite of the public airing of the Smith family drama, the I Am Legend leading man still reportedly ‘loves Jada.’
The same source added ‘he has always had her back and always will.’
However, that support doesn’t mean that the Bad Boys star isn’t paying attention to his own needs.
The same insider noted ‘He has been trying to be supportive, while also taking care of himself.’
Staying strong amid the media storm, Will is reportedly ‘trying not to let any outside noise impact him.’
The source that spoke to DailyMail.com added that while Willow typically sided with her mom on matters, she was ‘angry’ with the Worthy author for airing out so much dirty laundry in public, corroborating the source’s claims in the Entertainment Tonight report.
‘She does not know why her mom had to go and tell the world all their dirty laundry. She feels like she is laughed at by all her peers,’ the insider emphasized.
