Britney Spears and Kevin Federline stood at the altar 20 years ago. The former partners, who were one of the loudest couples in the American entertainment industry, welcomed the birth of two boys year after year. As often happens with people who have split up, love turned into hatred, and their two now-grown sons became bargaining chips in court battles.
The pop princess's contact with her children is limited to sporadic phone conversations. Sean Preston and Jayden James have so far received a solid monthly cash injection in the form of alimony that went into their father's account, with whom they have been living in Hawaii. The situation will completely change after the younger one's 18th birthday, which falls on September 12 at 6:00 PM Eastern Time.
Britney Spears will no longer provide financial support for her son
It seems that Kevin Federline's financial situation will significantly deteriorate. The former dancer received $240,000 annually for 10 years to cover the cost of caring for the boys. In 2017, the court order doubled the child support payments. This means that over the last 17 years, Britney Spears has transferred more than $5.5 million to her ex-husband.
She is getting signals that Kevin is not happy with the new situation. Britney, on the other hand, is beginning to enjoy her life to the fullest - reports sources close to the singer, quoted by the "Daily Mail".
The performer of the hit "Toxic" has bounced back from recent financial troubles related to an expensive court case against her father. Her biography "The Woman in Me," published less than a year ago, secured enormous revenues. Furthermore, she recently received a lucrative offer to record the soundtrack for a new Universal Pictures production.
Britney Spears intends to do everything to repair her relationship with her sons. The star does not hide her disappointment at not being able to spend this special day with Jayden. However, she came up with the idea of buying him a gift that "will be more expensive than anything his father could afford."
Do you think fate will finally smile on her?
