Britney Spears is thrilled to have finally reunited with her son Jaydenand the pop icon is trying to show the teen and his older brother that she’s left her drama-filled life behind.
“Jayden coming out to L.A. is massive for Britney, it’s something she’s been dreaming of for so long,” an insider tells Life & Style exclusively of the mother-son Reunion. “She knows that if she wants more time with him, and hopefully Sean Preston too, she’s got to keep things calm and drama-free”
Jayden, 18, moved to Hawaii in 2023 with his dad, Kevin Federlineand older brother, Sean Preston, 19. Britney, 42, and her former backup dancer, 46, were married from 2004 to 2007.
The “Toxic” singer lost custody of her sons in 2008 following a dramatic standoff at her Beverly Hills home that left Britney hospitalized under a psychiatric hold. She never regained custody after she was released from the hospital, as her father was granted a legal conservatorship over the pop star’s life the same year. It didn’t end until November 2021, while her boys were primarily raised by Kevin.
“Britney’s doing her best not to go overboard but she really wants to spoil Jayden and take him on trips and just soak up every moment she can. But she realizes it’s going to take more than just spoiling him, she knows she needs to show him she’s really changed,” the source shares.

“Britney’s throwing her whole heart into rebuilding her relationship with Jayden and making it all work. And her dream is that Sean Preston will follow him to L.A. next,” the insider added.
Over the years, Britney has said how much it hurt her to be away from her boys while they were growing up.
“From when they were six to nine years old, I had them 70 percent of the time, and of course, since they’ve been gone, I’ve honestly felt like a huge part of me has died,” the “Sometimes” songstress said in a series of since-deleted audio clips posted to Instagram in September 2022.
“Like, literally, I have no purpose anymore. They were my joy. They were my everything. I looked forward to seeing them. That was what I lived for and then all of sudden they were gone, and I was like, ‘Did my heart just stop beating?'” she continued.
The month prior, Kevin gave a rare interview where he revealed his sons’ status with their mother, after she married longtime boyfriend Sam Asghari in June 2022. The personal trainer filed for divorce in July 2023, and the former couple’s divorce was finalized the following May.
“The boys have decided they are not seeing her right now,” Kevin told The Daily Mail. “It’s been a few months since they’ve seen her. They made the decision not to go to her wedding.”
Kevin confessed that he believed Britney’s conservatorship “saved” his ex-wife, but the trials and tribulations were hard on him and the kids.
“This whole thing has been hard to watch, harder to live through, harder to watch my boys go through than anything else,” he told the outlet. “It’s been tough. It’s the most challenging thing I’ve ever had to do in my life.”
Kevin insisted that while their children still loved their mom, her posting nude photos on Instagram and other racy content was extremely upsetting to Jayden and Sean Preston.
“I try to explain to them, ‘Look, maybe that’s just another way she tries to express herself.’ But that doesn’t take away from the fact of what it does to them. It’s tough,” he revealed. “I can’t imagine how it feels to be a teenager having to go to high school.”
