Britney Spears, often referred to as the Princess of Pop, has been in the limelight for decades, captivating fans with her music, personal life, and headline-making moments. One significant chapter of her life is her marriage to Kevin Federline, which lasted from 2004 to 2007. 

During their relationship, the couple welcomed two sons, Sean Preston Federline, born in 2005, and Jayden James Federline, born in 2006. As of 2024, both sons are stepping into adulthood—Sean Preston is 19, and Jayden James is 18—marking the end of their adolescence under the public eye. 

The boys, while largely shielded from the media, have still found themselves part of their mother’s ongoing story, particularly through her conservatorship battle and other public struggles.

Let’s take a closer look at the lives of Sean Preston and Jayden James as they navigate their unique place in the spotlight.

Who Are Kevin Federline and Britney Spears’ Kids?

Sean Preston and Jayden James were born to Britney Spears and Kevin Federline during a time when Spears was at the height of her career but also dealing with significant personal struggles. Following their parents' highly publicized divorce, both boys primarily lived with their father, Kevin Federline, who was granted sole physical custody in 2008. Spears has maintained a complicated relationship with her sons, particularly in the aftermath of her 13-year conservatorship, which came to an end in 2021. The boys have remained largely out of the public eye, though they have occasionally appeared in family photos or commented on their lives in interviews.

Sean Preston Federline, 19

Born on September 14, 2005, Sean Preston is the elder of the two boys. From the moment of his birth, Sean was thrust into the media spotlight. Paparazzi often captured moments of Britney with her infant son, and his early years were marked by his mother’s highly publicized breakdown and subsequent conservatorship. As a child, Sean remained relatively protected from the public eye, though occasional photos and family events would draw media attention.

Sean Preston’s relationship with Britney has been a point of public curiosity, especially in recent years. Though Spears has always expressed her love for her sons on social media, their relationship became more strained over time, particularly during Britney's conservatorship battle. In 2019, Sean Preston, along with his brother Jayden, reportedly became more distant from their mother, and both boys began spending more time living with their father. Despite the challenges, it is clear that Sean Preston has been able to develop into a young adult outside of the relentless spotlight that followed his mother.

Sean has expressed an interest in music and creative arts, following somewhat in the footsteps of his famous mother, but has maintained a private life, focusing on his education and personal growth. His presence in the media remains minimal, a testament to Federline’s efforts to shield him and his brother from excessive attention.


Jayden James Federline, 18

Jayden James, born on September 12, 2006, shares much of his older brother’s story in terms of growing up under the glare of public scrutiny. However, Jayden has shown a more vocal side when it comes to discussing his life and relationship with Britney. In 2022, Jayden made headlines with a rare interview in which he shared some of his feelings about his mother’s struggles and their complicated family dynamic. He expressed concern for Britney’s well-being and hinted at the strained nature of their relationship, noting that time and understanding were needed for them to reconnect on a deeper level.

Jayden, like his brother, has largely stayed away from the public eye and focuses on his personal interests and education. Despite their distance from the Hollywood limelight, both boys have been raised in a world where their family’s personal struggles and legal battles have often played out in public. Kevin Federline, as their primary caregiver, has worked hard to provide a stable environment for Sean Preston and Jayden, and both boys seem to have grown into thoughtful and well-adjusted young men despite the challenges.

Jayden’s openness about his family in interviews shows a maturity and introspection that reflect his coming of age. Like his brother, he seems to value privacy but isn’t afraid to speak his truth when necessary. His reflections on his relationship with his mother indicate a young man who is grappling with complex emotions while trying to maintain compassion and love for his family.

As Sean Preston and Jayden James enter adulthood, their journey serves as a reminder of the challenges and complexities of growing up in the public eye. While their mother’s fame has shaped many aspects of their lives, the boys have also forged their own paths, supported by their father, Kevin Federline, and a desire to live privately. Now 19 and 18, respectively, Sean and Jayden are stepping into their own identities, away from the media spotlight that has followed them since birth. With a focus on their futures, both boys are well on their way to finding their own sense of normalcy amidst the extraordinary circumstances of their upbringing.
