Britney Spears ‘blown away’ after surprise Christmas visit from both of her sons
Britney Spears is stronger than yesterday after a shocking surprise visit at Christmas from her two estranged sons Sean and Jayden Federline.
The Lucky singer, 43, shared her joy on Instagram yesterday by posting a video with Jayden, 18 – who, along with his older brother Sean, 19 – is coming off her two-year marriage to rap artist Kevin Federline, 46, which ended in 2007 .
Although Sean was not seen in the video, sources who spoke to DailyMail.com revealed that her firstborn was in fact very present for Britney’s surprise.
A source said: ‘Sean and Jayden surprised Britney for Christmas and she was absolutely blown away.
“Needless to say, she was a sobbing, happy mess and couldn’t keep herself together because of how happy she was. It was so sweet.’
In an emotional clip shared with her 42 million Instagram followers, Britney was seen kissing Jayden on the cheek.

Although Sean didn’t see Britney’s Christmas video, sources who spoke to DailyMail.com revealed that her firstborn was in fact very present for Britney’s surprise
She captioned the video: “Best Christmas of my life!!! I haven’t seen my boys in two years!!!’ Tears of joy and literally in shock every day koo koo crazy so in love and blessed!!! I’m speechless, thank you Jesus!!!’
It’s been more than two years since Sean and Jayden came face to face with their mother, who was released from a thirteen-year conservatorship in 2019.
Since regaining her freedom, the Toxic singer has received a lot of negative criticism for her over-the-top Instagram videos.
Some of these videos, in which she often looks exhausted, show her dancing in her living room. An alarming video showed her holding a fake knife.
In other videos, Britney focuses on her sexuality, with the singer often appearing topless. In a recent documentary, both Sean and Jayden said these concerning videos bothered them.
“Over the past two years she has tried so hard to become the mother they needed,” the source told DailyMail.com.
“They stopped looking at her social media altogether and just started focusing on how she treated them because they know that on social media she’s just playing a character.
DailyMail.com has reached out to Britney’s representatives.
In the video, Jayden offered a light-hearted “Hello,” followed by the two wishing her fans a “Merry Christmas”
She captioned the clip: “Best Christmas of my life! I haven’t seen my boys in two years! Tears of joy and literally in shock every day koo koo crazy so in love and blessed!’
Britney was married to Sean and Jayden’s father, Kevin Federline, from 2004 to 2007. After paying $20,000 a month in child support for 17 years, it ended last month (they were seen in 2005)

“Britney’s outward projection of what she shows the world is not her own, and Sean and Jayden know this. That has never been the case. They love their mother and will continue to be there for her,” the insider said.
In June, DailyMail.com was the first to report that Britney was rekindling her relationship with her sons. At the time, she shared on her Instagram that she was texting with both of them.
In August 2023, Kevin, Sean and Jayden moved to Hawaii with Kevin’s wife of 10 years, Victoria Prince, and their two daughters Jordan, 12, and Payton, nine.
After Britney’s divorce from Kevin in 2007, she began having a very public meltdown. Kevin was given sole custody of the boys just weeks before she was placed in conservatorship in 2008.
Her life and finances during that time were controlled by her father, Jamie Spears, 72, and while she was able to see her sons, it was at Kevin’s whim.
In an exclusive interview for ITV in August 2022, Kevin confirmed that Britney had not seen her sons in almost six months, with the pair not attending her wedding to Sam Asghari in June that year.
Jayden insisted there was “no hatred” between the boys and their mother, but he admitted that “it will take a lot of time and effort” to mend their fractured relationship.
The teenager added: ‘I 100 percent think this can be resolved. It will just take a lot of time and effort.
“I just want her to get better mentally. When she gets better, I really want to see her again.’
For seventeen years, Britney paid Kevin almost $20,000 a month in child support.
A few months after the ITV interview aired, Sean turned 18, the age at which child benefit was awarded to Kevin on his behalf.
A year later, in September 2024, Britney’s child support payments to Kevin on Jayden’s behalf ended.
The singer made her last payment to Kevin a month ago, in November.
In recent months, Britney’s fortunes have skyrocketed, partly because the rights to her upcoming biopic The Woman In Me were purchased by Universal Pictures to be made into a feature film.
