Toxic singer Britney Spears has announced that she is pregnant, just months after her 13-year conservatorship came to an end.

Although this will be the 40-year-old’s first child with fiancé Sam Asghari, Britney already has children with her ex-husband.

But who are her sons, and who is their father?

Here is everything you need to know about Britney’s kids.

How many children does Britney Spears have?

Britney has two sons – Sean Preston Federline (16 years old) and Jayden James Federline (15 years old).

Music seems to run in the family, as an insider told Us Weekly ‘They usually listen to rap and EDM.

‘Sean Preston, in particular, is a big fan of synthesizers and likes to toy around with deejaying in his spare time.’

Additionally, Jayden has said that he wants to be a producer when he is older.

Britney previously sad that her sons are ‘very private’ and don’t like her posting about them on her social media – but this doesn’t stop the Womanizer singer sharing the odd throwback picture and gushing about them in the caption.

In March, Britney shared an emotional post, claiming that her son’s don’t ‘need’ her anymore now that they have grown up.

Fans flocked to the comments to comfort the star.

‘No matter how grown they are, children will always need their mama!’ said one fan.

Another wrote: ‘They’re just at an age where they are too cool for school. Don’t worry.’

Who is the father of Britney Spears’ sons?

Britney and Kevin met in 2004 – and after just three months of dating, the pair announced their engagement in July, 2004.

The duo got married that September in Studio City, California.

However, the whirlwind relationship was short-lived, with Britney filing for divorce from Kevin a mere two months after Jayden was born in 2006.

She lost custody of her young sons the next year following a mental breakdown, but gained some of it back once she had recovered.

Britney and Kevin had 50/50 custody of their sons until 2019 when Kevin filed a report accusing Jamie of being involved in a ‘physical altercation’ with her eldest son Sean.

In a 2019 agreement between the former couple, Kevin was awarded 70/30 custody of the boys, with court documents which were filed and obtained by TMZ stating as much.

Throughout the years, the two have maintained an amicable relationship, with Kevin saying in a 2008 interview: ‘Britney is an awesome mom. That’s one thing I never really have to worry about.’

He added: ‘It’s good for the kids to see that Daddy does care about Mommy, and Mommy does care about Daddy.’

Of Britney’s pregnancy with boyfriend Sam, Kevin’s lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan told NBC News: ‘He wishes her the best for a happy, healthy pregnancy and congratulates her and Sam Asghari as they plan for the excitement of parenthood together.’
