Britney Spears’ sons Jayden James and Sean Preston have reportedly not reconciled with their pop star mom despite headlines claiming otherwise.

Sources close to the 42-year-old singer shut down reports in the media that the “Womanizer” hitmaker and her kids have reconciled after not seeing each other for years, TMZ reported.

A source with knowledge told the outlet that Spears only spoke to her 18 and 17-year-old sons on Mother’s Day and they have not spent time together in person in nearly three years, after they were granted the right to move to Hawaii with their dad, her ex-Kevin Federline, E! News noted.

One source said that the kids haven’t ruled out the idea of reconciliation someday — “Years of aberrant behavior and troubling conduct can’t be easily erased.”

“There’s no evidence things have gotten better,” the source added.


Federline’s attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan recently told Entertainment Tonight that his client is not opposed to the kids reconciling with the singer, claiming the boys have had “some” communications with her by phone.

“Reconciliations and the reunification of relationships are difficult and take time,” Kaplan said. “They are sometimes complicated and always a lengthy process. The process has not really commenced, let alone [been] completed.”

“The good thing is that the boys saw their mom was doing well and have a desire to speak with her,” the lawyer added. “There has been some telephonic communication between Britney and her sons, and we think that is a step in the right direction.”

The two reports follow one from the Daily Mail claiming that they had spoken to a well connected family insider who said Spears and her teenage boys are “fully back on track,” alleging they have been speaking together for months and even allegedly had meet-ups in California.

“Britney has been speaking to, and working on, her relationship with Sean Preston and Jayden for months now,’ the insider claimed.

“The boys have so much love for their mother, as she does for them,” the insider added. “Things are fully back on track and they are looking forward to the future together.”

“She has gone to Hawaii to see them and they have come to her house to spend time with her,” the source continued.

Britney and Kevin tied the knot in 2004. They welcomed one son in 2005 and the other in 2006. The pair’s divorce was finalized in 2007.

In November 2021, a judge terminated Britney’s conservatorship, which had been in place for nearly 14 years. It was the singer’s dad, Jamie Spears, who was in charge of that.
