Britney Spears - Reconciliation with her children is in the offing
Britney Spears' (42) issues with her two sons Sean Preston (18) and Jayden James (17) have been making headlines for years. The singer lost custody of her children to their father Kevin Federline (46) in 2008 and reportedly has had little contact with them since then. However, they reportedly spoke on the phone on Mother's Day (May 12). Federline's attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan confirmed the phone call to "Page Six."
"Apparently reconciliation/reunion is something complex and can be a process that takes some time," Kaplan explained. The call was "a good sign and a step in the right direction," he added, but "more than just a phone call is necessary for complete reconciliation."
Spears has not visited her sons
Sean and Jayden have lived with their father Kevin Federline, his wife, and their children on Hawaii since 2023. Recent media reports suggested that Spears had flown to the island to meet with her children - Kaplan denies this. "Kevin supports the boys having a relationship with their mother and is happy that they finally spoke to her on Mother's Day, but the reports that she flew to Hawaii and met with them are not true," he emphasized.
Spears' relationship with her children has been strained for years, with both parties publicly criticizing each other. In June 2023, Kaplan told the news website "TMZ" that Spears had not seen her sons "for over a year."
Sean and Jayden were born in 2005 and 2006 during Britney Spears' turbulent marriage to Federline. A year later, the couple divorced, and for the singer, a deteriorating mental health began. In 2008, she lost custody and was placed under her father's conservatorship, which only ended in 2021 after 13 years.
