Like her mother, Willow also wore a long black coat. Underneath, she wore a navy blue T-shirt, black pants and classic Converse sneakers.
It comes following reports that Willow and her brother Jaden Smith, 25, aren’t exactly fans of their mother’s latest press tour, according to a source who spoke to Entertainment tonight.
The insider said the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air star’s children “feel bad for their dad because of all the recent headlines about their parents.”
They added that both Smith children wished “some of their family’s private matters to remain private.”
The main issue the source seemed to be referring to in the interview was Jada’s revelation that she and her husband had actually been divorced for seven years.
Although the devoted children felt sorry for their famous father, a source told DailyMail.com that they experienced mixed emotions following their mother’s revelations, with both Willow and Jaden also feeling a bit relieved that the truth was out.
“Although Jaden and Willow love their mother immensely and adopt many of her behaviors and traits, they are very relieved that the news is finally out so everyone can get on with it as normal,” the source revealed to DailyMail.com.

However, despite their relief that the truth was finally public knowledge, both Willow and Jaden felt like the news “didn’t help” the Men in Black star on his own journey.
“They know he’s been through a lot lately and this isn’t helping,” said the insider who spoke to Entertainment Tonight.
Recently, Jada dropped another surprising revelation: she and her husband Will are considering writing a book together.
“I know Will and I are talking about writing a book together called ‘Don’t Try This at Home,'” she said. Additional.
It would be a follow-up to Jada’s sensational memoir Worthy, which details the marital and personal problems she endured.

“The idea that we were separated for seven years and we’re still apart after the Oscars, we’ve rediscovered, you know, and I think that part of the story was left out,” she said.
The night Will met Chris Rock at the Oscars proved to have a transformative impact on their relationship. Jada decided to stay with her husband that night after thinking about divorce for years.
‘That was the moment I knew I would never leave Will’s side. After all these years of thinking I would, after all these years of thinking, I’m getting a divorce, I’m getting a legal separation… And I didn’t go there as his wife. But I left his wife behind. So it showed me that love can conquer all.”
That night, Smith punched Rock in the face after the comedian made a joke about Jada, who suffers from alopecia, and her bald head.
Now the couple is focusing on repairing their relationship.
‘Divorce is off the table. We are life partners,” she emphasized.
She said she prefers the term “life partner” to husband because it better describes her current view of marriage.
‘I call him life partner. To me, it’s a more expansive definition than what I came into the marriage with around the ‘idea’ of a husband,” Jada said.
