For the past few months, Will and Jada have been fighting off reports that they are separated and on the brink of divorce, which seems to grow each day. Although they were spotted together over the weekend taking in a 76ers game in Philly, another rumor has surfaced claiming that their kids have been split up; with Jaden staying in Philly with Will Smith and Willow in LA with Jada. The rumors were probably fueled by recent photos of Will spending time with Jaden at various places throughout Philly, however the two are filming a sci fi movie together titled, ‘After Earth’ which will require them to head to Costa Rica in the coming weeks. Willow will stay in the US because she has to finish up an album that is scheduled to release in April.
It seems as though the kids living in two different locations have more to do with their careers than their parents possibly divorcing.
At any rate, Hollywood life reports:
Will and their son Jaden, 13, are in Philadelphia where they will be filming After Earth – while Jada and Willow, 11, are living in LA before Willow starts touring in May. ”The kids are really suffering,” a source says.“It’s always a shame when divorce splits up families,” Estelle Pinkett, Jada’s great-aunt, agrees.The family has been torn apart for a while now. “They haven’t spent any time as a whole family in months,” explains the source. “And it’s not going to happen anytime soon — if ever again.”Willow and Jaden are aware of what’s going on with their parents. “The kids hear everything that Will and Jada say about each other,” an insider shares. “They’ve shed tears over it. It’s a hard time for them.”“I’m sure [their parents] take it into consideration, the psychological impact on the kids and what they could do to make it minimal,” Jada’s former stepdad Warren Brown tells Star. “[But] it would surprise me if they stayed together.”
In other news, it looks as though Jaden had to chop his hair off for the new flick and he couldn’t look happier about it
