Last week Britney Spears’ teenage son Jayden James Federline sat in an interview with ITV News and discussed his complicated relationship with his star mom.
In a joint interview with dad Kevin Federline and elder brother Sean Preston, the 15-year-old said it would take a lot of time and effort to fix his relationship with his mother.
“I 100% think this can be fixed, of course. It’s just going to take a lot of time and effort… I really want to see her again,” said Jayden, who hasn’t seen Britney since spring.
He also said that his grandfather Jamie wanted the best for his daughter and did everything he could to save her life through the conservatorship.
“He was trying to be like any father, like pursue his daughter’s dream of being a superstar, working and doing all these concerts and performing. But I think some people are just, like, ceasing to realize how much he cares about her.”
“But I did think maybe the conservatorship did go [on] for a little too long – probably why my mum was very angry about the whole situation because she felt as if she was working for too long, which I personally think yeah, she was.”
Jayden, an aspiring musician, and talented pianist, also explained why he and his elder brother Sean didn’t attend Britney’s wedding to Sam Asghari.
“I’m really happy for them. But, like, I mean… She didn’t invite the whole family, and then if it was going to be me and Preston, like, I don’t see how that situation would have ended on good terms.”
ITV News wrote that the pop icon lost custody of her sons in 2007 due to her mental health issues; however, now she co-parents her two boys with ex-husband Federline.
Speaking about living with his father, Jayden said, “We’ve both been through so much pressure in the past that this is our safe place now, to process all the emotional trauma we’ve been through.”
He also addressed directly addressed his mother during the interview and said, “I love you a lot; I hope for the best for you. Maybe one day we can sit down like this and talk again.”
However, Britney didn’t take it lightly and called out Jayden in her recent Instagram post and told him that she tried her best to be the person she could be and his remarks about her were ‘hateful.’
“It deeply saddens me to know his outcry of saying I wasn’t up to his expectations of a mother,” she wrote. “If you could pause for a second, remember where you came from!!! I hope you can look in the mirror and remember… You are my child and always will be!!!”
“I would love nothing more than to see you two face to face,” she added.
Later on Monday, she also posted an audio recording which she deleted after some time, and expressed her grievances towards her almost 16-year-old son.
“I can totally understand why my family would have a problem with me doing my own thing. Maybe because I never have.”
“I’m sure it is a little bit different and a touch lighter, me not being responsible for three 18-wheeler trucks with tour equipment and thousands of people to be responsible for on tour,” she said.
“So, Jayden, as you undermine my behavior just like my whole family always has with, ‘I hope she gets better, I will pray for her,’” she continued, “Pray for what? I keep working so I can pay off mom’s legal fees and her house? Do you guys want me to continue to get better so I can continue giving your dad 40 grand a month?”
She further said that in two years, when Jayden turns 18, he won’t get any money from his mother.
“Or is the reason you guys have decided to be hateful is that it’s actually over in two years and you don’t get anything?”
What are your views on Britney’s response? Let us know in the comments.
Going forward she needs to be the grown up and discontinue the public discourse. Change your will, cut them out if that is what you want to do, but do it privately.
Her kids are acting like spoiled brats. Kevin is just pissed of cuz his gravy train will be gone soon. Good.
For such a “loving” mother, you have no problem shaming them and making them feel bad. I’m sorry but I’d be embarrassed if my mom dressed like a 20 year old and showing off her body to EVERYONE. Have some respect and dignity. I’m not saying your family is innocent but really, to threaten “no money for you”. Cool story. I don’t need your money and to have a mom to feel like she needs to pay me, I’d gladly bow out with my dignity intact.
I think unfortunately these exchanges had to be public and she deserves a chance… I think she struggled but most do and what her father did was not just to help her he wanted money! She has been used…again not saying she’s so innocent 🤣 But…
I agree with Brittany. Cut the purse strings , time for kevin federline to make the biscuits
I think she was hurt and once again humiliated and she lashed out. I think the father should get off his lazy arise and got to work instead of letting a woman pay his way, but atleast other women will know what he is about. Brittany has gone through a lot amd she loves her boys, but was very hurt with what he said pubically. I think she should let them see how it is to work for something instead of them having everything handed to them. They sound Like spoiled kids. She should cut them off, teach them a hard lesson and help them to become responsible adults, so when they have kids hopefully they will teach them the right of doing things. If a man can work then he should work and not live off his ex wife because she has money, the father is the one that should be ashamed of how he is raising his sons to take women for granted, to use them, then toss them aside, but always make sure you get all you can for as long as you can, is what he is teaching his boys.. She made a mistake with marrying a loser, but know has 2 sons that have been brainwashed about their mother and need to see that is was not all true. I do hope they can repair their relationship and got past all this.
