Kevin Federline says Sean and Jayden have not seen Britney in months and that the Conservatorship 'saved' her and Jamie Spears is welcome to see the kids


Recommended Posts

Kevin Federline says Sean and Jayden have not seen Britney in months and that the conservatorship saved her life.

"The boys have decided they are not seeing her right now," Kevin reveals. "It's been a few months since they've seen her. They made the decision not to go to her wedding," Kevin tells ITV in a new interview which airs on television next week, Daily Mail reports.

"This whole thing has been hard to watch, harder to live through, harder to watch my boys go through than anything else," he says. "It's been tough. It's the most challenging thing I've ever had to do in my life."

K-Fed also said he felt compelled to apologize to the boys for any flak they received for Britney's nude Instagram photos. 

He insists the boys love their mother, saying: "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 adds: "I can't imagine how it feels to be a teenager having to go to high school."

K-Fed and his wife, Victoria Prince, allowed cameras into their home for the interview because they want to show Britney how difficult their life is as a result of her superstardom. 

Kevin says: "If there was a way – any way – I could possibly say something to just open [Britney's] eyes – but I haven't found that yet. I feel like, if I found that, I'd be on the phone trying to tell her."

He also maintains Britney's father did what he could to help Britney. "I saw this man that really cared, and really cares about his family and wanting everything to be OK," he says. "When Jamie took over, things got into order. He saved her life."

It's been difficult for the boys to understand. 

"They've had a lot of questions about it," he confides. "I don't know that I can answer all of them for them but I just tried to explain to them that your mom needed help, you know, and the people were in play to try to make that happen, to make it better."

Despite their being a restraining order against him, K-Fed says Jamie is "absolutely welcome... back in the boys' lives. Especially if that's what the boys wanted. I don't have any hard feelings towards Jamie Spears. People make mistakes. I feel bad for him. I feel like he's been put through the wringer."

K-fed also feels for Lynne, Jamie Lynn and Bryan. 

"Family is supposed to stick together, and just because they're not my immediate family, you know, they're my sons', my kids' immediate family,' Kevin says. 'They love their memaw. My priority has always been: it is about what is good for the boys."

Kevin clearly has no wish to embarrass his former wife but acknowledges he became increasingly uncomfortable with what his then younger teenage sons confided they were witnessing during their visits in recent years, although he declines to go into detail.

He just says: "There were a lot of things going on that I didn't feel comfortable with."

"They tried to give her the benefit of the doubt but at the same time, I can tell that sometimes, it hurts to be in that position,' he says. 'So, I made sure all my kids can come to me at any moment and discuss anything. The boys – all my kids – know that they come to me and to my wife and discuss anything."

He adds: "They're teenagers right now. You know, we talk about s**, we talk about *****, we talk about all the things that teenagers go through. I want my kids to make all the mistakes they possibly can in my house, because [that way], I can protect them."

Kevin adds that Britney's recent Instagram posts calling her family out have made life difficult for the boys - it's one reason they didn't attend her wedding. 

"[The boys] were happy for her, but they decided that, as they're not seeing her right now, they made the decision not to go to her wedding," he says.

Kevin hopes all the family drama will come to an end. "I wish for them to forgive, to reach inner peace and then peace with each other," he says. "One day."

For two years, following a whirlwind romance that started in 2004, Kevin was Britney's husband, father to her two children – Sean Preston, 16, and 15-year-old Jayden. Ever since, as his former wife's life continues to dominate headlines amid family lawsuits and harsh words on social media, he has worked hard to keep their sons out of the limelight.

Now he has broken a near decade-long silence in a wide-ranging, moving TV interview in which he talks openly for the first time about the reality of life as the former 'Mr Spears', and his ongoing battle to keep the chaos that surrounds his former wife as far removed from his sons as possible.

In a series of exclusive interviews, parts of which will be aired on ITV news this week, Kevin and his family reveal that Preston and Jayden have not seen their mother for many months – at their own behest – even though his former wife, who married American-Iranian model Sam Asghari, 28, in June, has bought a £10million mansion not far from the Federline family home in Los Angeles.

'The boys have decided they are not seeing her right now,' Kevin reveals. 'It's been a few months since they've seen her. They made the decision not to go to her wedding.'

He also says he believes the controversial 13-year conservatorship by her father Jamie 'saved' her. Britney was finally released from the arrangement, under which many aspects of her financial and personal life were controlled, last November. But the impact her very public tribulations may be having on their teenage sons is now Kevin's driving force.

'This whole thing has been hard to watch, harder to live through, harder to watch my boys go through than anything else,' he says. 'It's been tough. It's the most challenging thing I've ever had to do in my life.'

And there have been numerous parenting challenges throughout the ongoing Britney saga. Following her release from her conservatorship last year, the 40-year-old star has remained at the centre of global attention and has taken to posting nude selfies on social media. At the time, Kevin says he felt compelled to apologise to the boys for any flak they experienced as a result.

He insists the boys love their mother, saying: '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 adds: 'I can't imagine how it feels to be a teenager having to go to high school.'

While he and the boys show nothing but compassion to Britney, Kevin says he is speaking out about his estranged former wife not for retribution, but to show a hitherto untold side of this showbusiness story.

Sweet-natured, artistic-minded boys, Preston and Jayden have clearly inherited their parents' creative streaks: Preston has already started producing music and wants to take guitar lessons, while Jayden is a keen piano player. Kevin and Victoria have encouraged all their children to express themselves.

The endless drama and controversy that Britney always appears to be at the centre of seems a world away, which is exactly how Kevin and Victoria want it.

'This is a normal home, a family… full of love,' Victoria tells me. 'Whatever is happening outside has nothing to do with this home.'

But they say allowing the cameras into their home now may help Kevin's former wife understand the strain that growing up in the shadow of global superstardom can bring.

Kevin says: 'If there was a way – any way – I could possibly say something to just open [Britney's] eyes – but I haven't found that yet. I feel like, if I found that, I'd be on the phone trying to tell her.'

Kevin acknowledges he has his own questions about why the arrangement lasted so long, but maintains Britney's father did everything with the best intentions. 

'I saw this man that really cared, and really cares about his family and wanting everything to be OK,' he says. 'When Jamie took over, things got into order. He saved her life.'

Nonetheless, he acknowledges that while their sons grew up against the backdrop of the conservatorship, it became increasingly difficult trying to explain the circumstances that surrounded it.

'They've had a lot of questions about it,' he confides. 'I don't know that I can answer all of them for them but I just tried to explain to them that your mom needed help, you know, and the people were in play to try to make that happen, to make it better.'

Today, however, with the restraining order about to expire, any rancour is ancient history.

'I would absolutely welcome Jamie Spears back in the boys' lives,' Kevin says. 'Especially if that's what the boys wanted. I don't have any hard feelings towards Jamie Spears. People make mistakes. I feel bad for him. I feel like he's been put through the wringer.'

That warmth extends equally to the rest of the family – Britney's mother Lynne, known as 'memaw' by her grandsons, brother Bryan, who lives not far away in LA, and sister Jamie Lynne.

Kevin and the boys are close to all of them, as is Victoria.

'Family is supposed to stick together, and just because they're not my immediate family, you know, they're my sons', my kids' immediate family,' Kevin says. 'They love their memaw. My priority has always been: it is about what is good for the boys.'

Just now, One More Time said:

If Britney still gives money to her sons (obviously she will) they will help her daddy and his family that is the reality 

Britney probably wont be giving them large amounts of money to be able to help them that way. I see what you’re saying but I doubt Britney would he giving them loads of money to have.
