Sources say reeling in their wild child teenagers has put an incredible strain on Will and Jada Pinekett-Smith's marriage...
From The National Enquirer
“Jada is terrified that Willow’s already a victim of the ‘too much, too soon’ lifestyle that’s destroyed so many young performers,” said the source.
“She’s even admitted that she and Will might have made mistakes allowing Willow and her big brother Jaden to reach for the stars so young.
“But Jada’s convinced that tough love combined with quality time together can undo the negative effects of developing Willow’s talent at the expense of her childhood. “Jada told a friend, ‘I know in my heart Willow’s a good girl. And I’ll do anything to save my baby.’”
Meanwhile, 15-year-old “Karate Kid” star Jaden – Will’s sidekick in the summer flop “After Earth” – has also been slammed for posting an expletive-laced tirade on Twitter.
“The children have created a huge strain on Will and Jada’s marriage, and it doesn’t help that the couple appear to live separate lives,” the source added.
But for Jada, rumors about her marriage take a back seat to Willow’s fragile state, said the insider.
“Jada is encouraging Willow to open up to her,” said the source.
“They shop together, gossip together and just take time to laugh with each other. Jada believes that while Willow may have been swept up in the tidal wave of show busi¬ness fame, she can still have a normal childhood.
“She’s comforting Willow with a mother’s love, showing her that while fame is fleeting, family is forever.”
