The insider added that Jack was ‘looking a lot better’ when he was seen by his mother’s apartment in Paris on Wednesday.
After the news of Jack’s alleged illness broke, it was rumoured that Sweeney Todd star Johnny, 55, who also shares daughter Lily-Rose, 19, with his ex partner, would call off his European tour with the Hollywood Vampires.
However, he is now said to planning to carry on with the shows and will reunite with his family in a few weeks.
A source said: ‘He will spend time with both of his kids once the tour is over in July. Johnny is doing great.’

MailOnline has contacted reps for Johnny and Vanessa for comment.
The speculation about Jack’s health started when ‘A Knife in the Heart’ director Yann Gonzalez explained Vanessa’s absence from the premiere earlier this week.
He said: ‘Unfortunately, Vanessa Paradis was not able to join us tonight, she had to be absent because of her son’s serious health problems.’
This isn’t the first time Johnny and Vanessa – who never married but spent 14 years together until they split in 2012 – have had to deal with a health scare as Lily-Rose was rushed to hospital in London in 2007 when she contracted e-coli poisoning.
It was said to be ‘touch and go’ for the actress, then seven, for a little while after the illness resulted in temporary kidney failure.
The ‘Yoga Hosers’ star’s stint in a children’s hospital inspired her father to try and cheer sick children by visiting them dressed as his ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’ alter ego, Captain Jack Sparrow and reading to them for four hours.
The next year he donated £1m to the hospital.
Johnny said after her recovery: ‘When my daughter was ill in Great Ormond Street, it was the darkest period of my life. I’d always done these visits but after that experience the visits became more and more important.
‘The kids [at the hospital] are so courageous but to be able to bring a smile or a giggle to the parents means everything in the world to me.’
