However, I don't think Jackson was trying to be devious about his son or trying to hide anything. Who's to say when the right time is to reveal private information? This is very early days at this stage- they really have spent so little time with each other so far, as we are only a few weeks in, and Jackson has spent the majority of time in the other house, so they are still getting to know each other. In general, people do not tell people everything about themselves the moment they begin to be interested in someone- we gradually reveal more information about ourselves as we feel more secure about someone. This is in order to protect ourselves and the things that are most precious to us- in this case his son.
I think people are being very harsh on Jackson. His son clearly means the world to him, and the situation is obviously very painful to him- we don't know what has happened in his relationship with his son's mother, so I don't feel it is right to judge him without this information as it is just assumption.
I feel he was reluctant to share his photos, as maybe he didn't want to have to discuss his son on a tv show. I think he was afraid that showing the photo would bring out very painful and difficult emotions for him- which it clearly did- and he just didn't want this to happen as it is too raw for him, and because he is in the BB house. Although, he is on a reality to show, he is not obliged to share everything about himself, and be forced to discuss things he wants to protect, or are just too painful for him to discuss. However, having pressured him into sharing this with her, I would have expected Georgina to have shown a little more compassion and support when Jackson was obviously upset. Her failure to do so suggests that, emotionally, she just isn't on the same page as him, and is unlikely to be able to provide what he needs.
In my opinion this relationship is never going to work, and despite their attraction to each other, deep down they both know that- another reason why he might have been reluctant to open up about the most private and precious parts of his life. He has put Georgina on a pedestal but, again in my opinion, he is falling for the person he imagines her to be, rather than the person she really is- I feel this could be because he is at a stage in his life when he is ready to find that special someone, and is desperately trying to convince himself that Georgina is that someone. I think he is going to get hurt, as she cannot provide what he truly needs.
Georgina is already recognising all the negatives about the relationship, and has identified all the reasons it won't work. She has also been mentioning all the things she wants to change about Jackson- if you want to change someone so much, they are not the person for you. To show such embarrassment when thinking about him spending time with the important people in your life and such a reluctance about the idea of him being part of her social circle, is a massive sign that he isn't for her. Although she likes the person she is getting to know, I don't believe she would really entertain the idea of a proper relationship with him- I think she needs to be honest with herself and with Jackson about this.
