Throughout her career, Britney Spears has opened up about handling fame, tackling health challenges and one of her biggest roles — being a mom.
The 43-year-old pop icon shares her two children, 19-year-old son Sean Preston Federline and 18-year-old son Jayden James Federline, with ex-husband Kevin Federline. Spears and her former spouse were married from 2004 to 2007.
She occasionally shares pictures of her sons on Instagram, and in March 2021, she marveled at how fast her children grew up in a rare picture of the three of them.
“My boys are so big now,” she wrote on Instagram at the time. “I’m extremely lucky because my two babies are such gentleman and so kind that I must have done something right.”
In 2022, reports of a divide between the musician and her boys emerged after Kevin Federline alleged in an interview that Spears had a strained relationship with their kids, and that at the time, they hadn’t seen each other in months
However, in December 2024, she reunited with her son Jayden, suggesting they have recently been in touch.
Read on to learn more about Britney Spears’ two sons, Sean Preston Federline and Jayden James Federline, and what the singer has shared about them.
Sean Preston Federline
Spears and Kevin Federline announced that they had welcomed their first child together, son Sean Federline, in September 2005.
“We are ecstatic to announce the birth of our son! Everyone is happy, healthy and doing wonderful. Thank you all for your love and well wishes,” the couple said in a statement to People at the time.
In June 2023, the proud mom gave Sean Federline a shout out in an Instagram post, calling him her “first love.”
In September 2024, Spears shared a celebratory birthday post for both Sean Federline and his younger brother, Jayden.
“This month is my boys’ birthdays !!! Happy Birthday 🎁 babies and I hope you get all your wishes and more !!!” she wrote at the time.
Jayden James Federline
Spears and Kevin Federline’s youngest son, Jayden Federline, arrived in September 2006.
In March 2022, Spears hinted that her youngest child had inherited her musical talents. She praised his skills in a now-deleted Instagram post.
“Jayden can play jazz and literally anything on the piano !!!” she gushed on Instagram. She said Jayden Federline was so talented that his abilities scared her.
“We watched Green Book and he sat down and immediately started playing the blues … it’s scary how good he is but he said the other day. ‘Mamma it’s the thoughts I think too much’ … I was like, ‘NOOOOOOO !!! Don’t be me ever please God, no,’” she shared.
On Dec. 25, 2024, she shared a video of her and Jayden Federline, writing that they had reunited for Christmas after spending several years apart.
“Best Christmas of my life !!!” she cheered in the caption. “I haven’t seen my boys in 2 years !!! Tears of joy and literally in shock everyday koo koo crazy so in love and blessed !!! I’m speechless thank you Jesus !!!”
Almost a week later, Spears said she was still “in shock” from seeing her son again.
She uploaded three photos of Jayden Federline to Instagram and called him her “twin” in the caption.
