Britney Spears loves her little ones! The Grammy winner and her ex-husband Kevin Federline welcomed sons Preston and Jayden in 2005 and 2006, respectively.
“We are ecstatic to announce the birth of our son!” the “… Baby One More Time” singer wrote on her site in 2005. “Everyone is happy, healthy and doing wonderful. Thank you for all your love and well wishes!”
The following year, she gave birth to her and the DJ’s second son. “Everything is great,” she told Access at the time.
Spears and Federline split in 2007, and he later welcomed son Jordan and daughter Peyton with his current wife, Victoria Prince. He also shares Kori and Kaleb from his previous relationship with Shar Jackson.
Federline opened up about his coparenting relationship with his ex-wife 10 years after their divorce. “I’m used to not having all my kids, and this is going to be one of those years,” he revealed in a Bravo interview at the time. “When you are coparenting, you have to be willing to give up some of the things you would really like to do. My boys will be gone, their mom’s off in Asia on tour. They are with me until the 15th, and then they are gone for the rest of the month. So I won’t have the boys for Father’s Day.”
In September 2019, he and the Mississippi native adjusted their custody agreement from 50-50 custodial rights to 70 percent of the time with Federline and 30 with Spears. The former couple tried out the new schedule for a year before formalizing it in documents filed in August 2019.
When she has custody of her kids, the pop star loves to share their time together on social media.
In November 2021, the trio enjoyed an outing to a Vincent Van Gogh exhibit in Los Angeles. The “Perfume” songstress shared a photo of the trip via Instagram, and fans were shocked to see that her teen sons had already grown taller than her.
As Spears fought to extricate herself from the conservatorship that she’d been under since 2008, Federline expressed his support for her freedom. “The best thing would be for their mom to be healthy and happy,” the rapper’s lawyer said in a statement in June 2021. “And if either of those things aren’t true, it doesn’t provide for the best setting for custody to be exercised.”
In November 2021, the Crossroads star won her years-long battle when Judge Brenda Penny ruled to terminate the conservatorship of her estate and person. “[She’s] so relieved to have this nightmare over and done with,” an insider told Us Weekly at the time. “[It] caused more pain and suffering than anyone should have to withstand in an entire lifetime.”
