While Lincoln and his siblings Mitchell and Jamie-Lee had kept quiet about how their parents’ divorce had affected their family, the actor revealed some details on The Anj, Rob, & Robbo Show this week.
“It’s been hard on everyone obviously,” Lincoln said of the family’s coping. “Anyone who goes through stuff… it’s obviously going to be hard,” he added.
“You’re dealing with things in the public eye, and that’s part of the deal.”
When Lincoln was asked how his mother, Jacqui, was doing, he said she has received a lot of help.
“We’ve all banded together, and we’re like a family.” She’s surrounded by some incredible people. That’s what gets anyone through,” the Tomorrow When The War Began actress responded.
“At the end of the day, the most important thing is to have good people around you who love, care, and support you.”
