The pop princess’s personal life has been far from easy. Britney Spears has two sons with Kevin Federline – 19-year-old Sean and 18-year-old Jayden. The singer filed for divorce in 2006 after two years of marriage. It took a year for the lawyers to settle all disputes and finalize the divorce. By that time, the “Toxic” singer was already struggling with substance issues, which her ex-husband took advantage of.
In the fall of 2007, the Los Angeles Federal Court granted custody of the children to Kevin Federline. In 2008, a global court order prohibited Spears from seeing her children. The singer was declared temporarily incapacitated and placed under the guardianship of her father, James Spears. It wasn’t until 2021 that Spears finally regained her freedom from conservatorship. Throughout all those years, she had to pay generous child support to her ex-husband.
Today, the star posed nude and spoke openly about her personal life. “We are just human, fragile and imperfect. The hardest years of my life were the three years when my sons weren’t with me… I couldn’t call or write, and I remember being in shock. My survival secret was denial and a lot of tears,” Britney revealed.
In the summer of 2022, Spears married her longtime boyfriend, Sam Asghari. But within a year, cracks appeared in the marriage. In December of last year, the former couple reached a settlement and finalized their divorce. According to insiders, Britney paid the model a substantial severance. Spears also opened up about this failed experience.
“It’s strange, Sam and I were married, but it felt like a fake distraction to help me cope with this… Well, I know I’m healing because I’m hungry again, like a child or a baby… I’m so hungry it hurts, and when I eat, it feels like I’m eating for the first time in my life,” the “Crossroads” actress said.
The Grammy-winning singer also spoke about her Los Angeles mansion, which had felt like a prison during her conservatorship. “I believe that, even though I loved my home, there was too much abuse and trauma there… Today I thank Jesus for food. It’s like saying ‘no’ to others… Claiming my body and truly understanding where I come from. My soul has never experienced such pleasure from food in my life… It’s so silly and awkward, but now I’ll eat cookies and ice cream with cream,” Britney added.
