I was trolled for posting about how one of their girlfriends posted that theyre not comfortable around Britney since she has been off her meds. Loving a parent who has mental health issues isn’t easy. Especially when it’s out on full display. I hope Britney and her kids can find common ground one day. It’s completely gross that Kevin is speaking out, but just as we say with Britney’s outbursts, it’s his right. Those kids get harassed every day of their lives. I don’t think he would’ve done this without their permission. 

This. I can’t imagine what their kids are going through. Kevin is no saint here (and he isn’t claiming to be one) but he obviously wouldn’t be saying these things if it weren’t true. The whole Spears’ family and anyone who has a relationship with Britney (Sam, Vicky, Rosengart even) past base one is being endlessly harassed and stalked by internet strangers who try so hard to insert themselves in situations where it isn’t any of their business. Overall, I just feel as though this situation isn’t fair to Britney and could have even further distorted her reality. Obviously Kevin ****ed up but I also feel as though it’s time for Britney and her minion fans to move forward as a part of healing and be a little rational during times like these. Sure, Britney can express herself all she wants but spewing hate doesn’t ever make things right. By the end of the day, this is her family and there is a lot we still don’t know behind the scenes.

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.

Today, the 44-year-old father's life is a world away from the frenetic chaos that accompanied his romance with a woman who went from Disney child star to global superstar. He lives quietly with his sons and wife of nine years, Victoria, an accomplished former volleyball player.

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.'

The couple's relationship – a whirlwind engagement and October 2004 wedding – unfolded against a backdrop of intense public scrutiny but did not last long. In November 2006, two months after the birth of Jayden, Spears filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences and asking for custody of their two sons.

Kevin was in Canada on a promotional tour at the time, and recalls being 'blindsided' when the news was broken to him as he took part in a live radio interview.

'I called my lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan and we sat down and I told him all I care about is getting 50 per cent custody,' he recalls.

'Nothing else mattered. Nothing. I'm not the person that will take money over family.'

He says Kaplan told him: 'I will get it for you because I believe in you.'

A protracted legal fight followed, after which Kevin and Britney were duly awarded joint custody.

Over the following months, Britney embarked on a very public meltdown, dramatically shaving off her hair and being hospitalised for substance abuse. By January 2008, Federline was awarded sole legal and physical custody of their boys. The following month, she was placed under the controversial legal conservatorship.

It was a chaotic and bewildering time during which Kevin says he believes everyone tried to do their best. 'There were so many different things that were happening within a short period of time. It just all came to a head and I don't think anybody knew what to do. How can anybody prepare you?' he asks. 

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.'

This has not stopped his own relationship with Jamie from experiencing its hiccups: in November 2019, Kevin took out a restraining order against his former father- in-law following claims of an altercation with one of his sons.

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.'

This extended family unit has taken on additional poignancy as Kevin reveals that both Sean Preston and Jayden have for several months now chosen not to see their mother.

The boys told me and my producer Erbil Gunasti what a painful decision it had been. They still love her, after all.

A period of relative stability followed the initial period of conservatorship and Kevin recalls peaceful co-parenting with his former wife, who he insists is, at heart, a good mother. Yet in recent years, relations between mother and sons have deteriorated.

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.'

He explains that in recent months, in the wake of increasingly erratic posts by Britney on Instagram – as well as frequently posting shots of her naked body, she has launched public attacks on social media on him and members of her family – his boys have come to their own decision.

'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.'

It is one reason, Kevin reveals, that his sons did not attend Britney's recent wedding to Asghari.

While the ceremony in California was attended by a clutch of A-list celebrities, her children did not join her. '[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.

It is in keeping with all of Kevin's sentiments towards his ex-wife, which remain respectful and measured. The boys are encouraged to talk about their mum with love and to understand the complexities in which her life has been mired over the years.

Victoria tells me that 'whatever is going on outside, has nothing to do what is going on inside this house!'

A sentiment echoed by Kevin. More than anything, he hopes that one day all the drama will be behind them, not just for his sons but the whole Spears clan.

'I wish for them to forgive, to reach inner peace and then peace with each other,' he says. 'One day.'

I really don’t know how to feel about the interview,

I hate Kevin, and I love Britney and I absolutely love the insta pics tbh, I’ve never got the hate with them.

But the fact the kids have stopped seeing her, I can see why they wouldn’t like the insta pics. 
 

but Kevin should not be doing this interview, it’s propaganda before her book is released 100%
