Willow Smith and Jaden Smith want privacy for their parents.
The siblings reportedly “feel bad” for their dad, Will Smith, as Jada Pinkett Smith continues to make bombshell revelations about their marriage while promoting her “Worthy” memoir.
“They know he has been going through a lot lately and this isn’t helping,” a source told Entertainment Tonight Monday of “all the recent headlines” about the couple’s secret separation.
“They wish some of their family’s private matters remained private,” the insider claimed, alleging that Will, 55, has been “trying to stay busy” by “hanging out with his good friends and his kids.”
The source added, “He’s trying not to let any outside noise impact him. Will loves Jada and feels like he has always had her back and always will. He has been trying to be supportive, while also taking care of himself.”
Willow and Jaden’s rep has yet to respond to Pvnew’s request for comment.
Will, who is also the father of son Trey Smith, has been married to Jada since December 1997. The 52-year-old actress revealed last week that they have spent years living apart.
The “Nutty Professor” star told People in her Oct. 11 cover story that they are “still figuring … out” what that means for their marriage.
She went on to hint at her and the Oscar winner’s future while speaking to Hoda Kotb in an NBC News special.
“Now … we are in a deep, healing space,” she clarified. “And we are really concentrating on healing the relationship between us. … We are working very hard at bringing our relationship together.”
Will reacted to her candid confessions in an email to the New York Times, published over the weekend.
“When you’ve been with someone for more than half of your life, a sort of emotional blindness sets in. And you can all too easily lose your sensitivity to their hidden nuances and subtle beauties,” the “I Am Legend” star wrote.
He credited “Worthy,” published on Tuesday, with waking him up.
However, the “Fresh Prince of Bel-Air” alum has turned his “notifications off” on social media amid Jada’s press tour, while Willow, 22, and Jaden, 25, have yet to directly address their mom’s reveals.
Will and Jada’s marriage last made major headlines in 2020 when the “Red Table Talk” host confirmed her and actor August Alsina’s now-famous “entanglement” — and addressed the scandal with her husband on the Facebook Watch show.
