Britney Spears’ sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James Federline, allegedly told their father about a concerning experience they had while staying at the “Oops!… I Did It Again” singer’s home years ago.
Kevin Federline, their father and Spears’ ex-husband, writes about this alleged alarming incident in his new memoir “You Thought You Knew,” which is set to release on Oct 21. While Federline never witnessed this firsthand, he says his sons told him Spears would stand quietly in their bedroom doorway at night, wielding a knife.
“They would awaken sometimes at night to find her standing silently in the doorway, watching them sleep — ’Oh, you’re awake?’ — with a knife in her hand,” Federline wrote in his book, per an excerpt from the New York Times. “Then she’d turn around and pad off without explanation.”
Federline and Spears married in 2004 and finalized their divorce in 2007. In his upcoming release, he details his account of the end of their marriage, claiming Spears’ drug and alcohol use and angry outbursts caused it to implode. After a messy custody battle, Federline got full custody of Sean and Jayden in 2008. He currently lives with them in Hawaii.
It’s unclear when Spears last saw her sons, but in December 2024, she posted a video on Instagram of her celebrating with Jayden, calling it “the best Christmas of my life.” She also wrote that she hadn’t seen her sons in two years.
Federline also confirmed to the New York Times in an interview that he hasn’t spoken with Spears in years. However, he expressed concern over his ex-wife’s current situation.
“The truth is, this situation with Britney feels like it’s racing toward something irreversible,” Federline wrote.
He continued: “It’s become impossible to pretend everything’s OK,” he adds. “From where I sit, the clock is ticking, and we’re getting close to the 11th hour. Something bad is going to happen if things don’t change, and my biggest fear is that our sons will be left holding the pieces.”
He also claimed that the “Free Britney” movement, which helped end her 13-year conservatorship, was more harmful than helpful to Spears, but didn’t elaborate on why.
Spears’ conservatorship began the month after Federline got custody of their two sons. Initially, it was supposed to be temporary, but later became permanent. Spears’ father, Jamie, initiated the legal arrangement and served as her conservator until the conservatorship ended in 2021.
While Spears has been free for a few years, fans have expressed strong concerns over her social media activity, previously posting nude and erratic dancing videos. In Oct. 2023, Spears also reportedly shared a video of her dancing with knives.
