Britney Spears is having a great time — she is no longer required to pay her ex-husband Kevin Federline, as their youngest son recently turned 18. Over the years, the singer has paid him more than $5 million. And Kevin Federline has repeatedly appealed to the court to increase the amount of payments, citing the fact that Britney Spears lives luxuriously in a huge mansion, while his sons are forced to share one room in a small house without any frills.
If you exclude celebrity murderers and rapists, Kevin Federline is probably the most insignificant celebrity. It’s hard to find anyone who likes him. And it always has been.
When Kevin Federline went from being Britney Spears’ backup dancer to her husband in a matter of months in 2004, the public was shocked not only by the fact that they were getting married soon, but also by the revelation that the dancer had a pregnant wife and another child.
Federline and Spears’ marriage lasted two years, and during that time the singer gave birth to two sons. Then there was a high-profile divorce, the star’s nervous breakdowns, her placement in a psychiatric clinic, and a judge’s decision that both sons remain in the man’s care. Britney Spears was only allowed to visit them and was required to pay $20,000 a month
Kevin Federline tried many ways to gain a foothold in Hollywood and become an independent star. He tried to sing and released several compositions. He tried to become a wrestler. And he starred in film projects. But success did not await him anywhere – everyone treated him negatively.
However, he was able to make a decent amount of money from his fame – Kevin Federline received modeling contracts and earned about $1 million as an invited guest at parties in Las Vegas.
When the hype around Britney Spears’ nervous breakdown and divorce died down, interest in Kevin Federline quickly evaporated. He gained weight, got a new wife, a volleyball player, had two more children with her (he has six children in total), and established himself as a DJ.
In 2017, Kevin Federline went to court demanding that his child support payments be doubled. His demand was granted, and for the last 7 years, instead of $240,000, he has been receiving $480,000. At the time, he stated in court that he could no longer dance due to health reasons, his music career had failed, he earned $3,000 a month as a DJ, and he had no insurance or savings.
Now the former dancer lives in Hawaii with his wife and children – his wife got a job there as a volleyball coach. They rent a house located near the ocean for $14,000 a month (the cost of housing is $3.7 million).
In his few public statements, Kevin Federline tirelessly portrays himself as a victim of his relationship with Britney Spears — saying that everything was fine with him before he met her. And then he was left with two small children on his hands as a single father. His public image was discredited by the tabloids. He began to have health problems and suffered from depression. (By the way, he also monetized his fat by participating in several reality shows about losing weight).
Britney Spears’ sons, despite regularly spending lavish vacations with their mother, have an extremely negative attitude towards her. They have no respect for her, as can be seen in leaked videos. And in 2021, when the singer got rid of her own father’s guardianship, they broke off relations with her and did not respond to her messages. The sons said that she needs treatment and they hope that when she gets better, they will be able to communicate.
Britney responded on social media: “Do you guys want me to feel better so I can continue paying your dad 40k a month? Or is the real reason you hate me because in 2 years you won’t be getting anything?”
However, now the sons are mending their relationship with their mother. Britney Spears hopes that she will be able to bring them back into her life and promises to give them such expensive gifts that their father could not buy in his entire life.
