Entertainment gossip and news from Newsweek's network of contributors

A family reunion is reportedly happening for Britney Spears.

On Monday, November 11, Page Six reported Spears, 42, had reunited with her youngest child, Jayden Federline. The "Princess of Pop" shares sons Jayden, 18, and Preston, 19, with ex-husband Kevin Federline and has been estranged from them for years.

A source told the outlet, "They [Spears and Jayden] have been spending a lot of time together." A second source shared that Jayden is back in his home state of California.

"Britney is thrilled to have her baby back," the second insider shared before noting, "Everything is moving in the right direction."

In August 2023, Kevin, 46, moved to Hawaii with the two boys and his other kids, Jordan, 11, and Peyton, 8, who he shares with his wife, Victoria Prince. The Grammy Award winner was consulted beforehand and agreed to the move.

In June 2024, Kevin's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, told People that the "Baby One More Time" songstress spoke to her sons around Mother's Day. Kaplan told the outlet, "Obviously, a reconciliation/reunification is somewhat complex and can be a process that takes some time." Kaplan added that there would need to be more than a single phone call for reconciliation. "And the phone call was a good sign and a step in the right direction, but it's a process that takes more than just a phone call to accomplish," Kaplan stated.

Spears recently gave a birthday shoutout to her two children on Instagram, sharing some throwback pictures of herself and the boys when they were young.

The "Toxic" singer captioned the September post, "This month is my boys' birthdays !!! Happy Birthday 🎁 babies and I hope you get all your wishes and more !!! Psss does anyone have any clue why we're all looking up ???"

In a 2022 interview with ITV, Jayden opened up about his fractured relationship with his mother, stating, "I 100% think this can be fixed of course." He expressed his desire to see her again, saying, "It's just going to take a lot of time and effort... I really want to see her again."
