[SOT: Listen, how you holding up? I know it’s a hard time for you, I’ve gotta ask. How you dealing with it?
Very tough.]

That’s Robin Thicke at LAX giving our cameras an exclusive on how things are going in his personal life.

But as you can see, he looks to be in good spirits.

[SOT: Anything else you want your fans to know?
Oh, that I love them all and thanks for all the love and support, and you know, just trying to do what’s best for my son.
Trying to get through the hard times, huh?
Yes sir.]

The hard times have been well documented as of late.

Not only did he lose his father, Alan Thicke, just days before Christmas… but a judge recently denied his request for unsupervised visitation with his 6-year-old son Julian.

A month before, a judge granted Robin’s ex, Paula Patton, a temporary restraining order again him, as well as temporary sole custody of Julian after she accused Robin of domestic violence, infidelity, and addiction.

Either way, Robin looks to be going strong with his new 22-year-old love April Geary… and one way to confirm that is to notice that she was the one who picked him up at the airport. And there he is giving her a kiss.

[SOT: All right, Robin thanks.]
