For a quick bit of background Britney and Kevin — who parted ways in 2007 a year before her controversial conservatorship came into effect — share custody of Jayden and Preston Britney has long been providing the DJ with $20 000 a month for each of the boys in child support while also covering their school insurance and clothing expenses

In 2018 Kevin infuriated fans as he requested an increase on these payments from Britney who was still living under the constraints of the legal arrangement

More recently the DJ sparked backlash as he opened up about Britney s relationship with her sons during an interview with the Daily Mail He claimed that Jayden and Preston were uncomfortable with the singer s minimally censored nude Instagram photos while suggesting that her father Jamie Spears saved her life — in spite of Britney s numerous accusations that he d been abusive toward her

Kevin also discussed Jayden and Preston s decision to stop seeing Britney telling the outlet that they d made the decision not to go to her and Sam Asghari s wedding in June The boys have decided they are not seeing her right now he said It s been a few months since they ve seen her They made the decision not to go to her wedding

Explaining this further during his ITV interview last week Jayden said that while he s really happy for Britney and Sam he and Preston didn t feel comfortable attending their wedding because he didn t see how it would ve ended on good terms She didn t invite the whole family and then if it was just going to be me and Preston I just don t see how that situation would have ended on good terms he said

I don t think she showed enough to Preston and I feel really bad for that he said We ve both been through so much pressure in the past that this is our safe place now to process all the emotional trauma we ve been through to heal heal our mental state

I just want her to get better mentally When she gets better I really want to see her again he added before defending Britney s parents and saying that Jamie doesn t deserve all the hatred he is getting in the media Jayden said of his grandfather I love him with all my heart He was just trying to be a father

Jayden also discussed Britney s social media posts suggesting that her content is a play for attention Social media helps her… So if that s what she wants to do that s what she wants to do I m not going to hate her for that he said At the same time she should come to the realization of whatever it is that stops her loving her family

It s almost like she has to post something on Instagram to get some attention he went on This has gone on for years and years and years and there s a high chance that this will never stop but I m hoping for me that she will stop

It deeply saddens me to know his outcry of saying I wasn t up to his expectations of a mother she wrote If you could pause for a second remember where you came from I hope you can look in the mirror and remember You are my child and always will be

I m sure it is a little bit different and a touch lighter me not being responsible for three 18-wheeler trucks with tour equipment and thousands of people to be responsible for on tour she said
Kevin Winter
So Jayden as you undermine my behavior just like my whole family always has with I hope she gets better I will pray for her she went on before questioning Pray for what I keep working so I can pay off mom s legal fees and her house Do you guys want me to continue to get better so I can continue giving your dad 40 grand a month

Britney went on to note that in two years time presumably once Jayden — who turns 16 in less than a week — is 18 he won t be getting anything from her anymore

Or is the reason you guys have decided to be hateful is that it s actually over in two years and you don t get anything she questioned

Britney then claimed that she d previously looked Jayden straight in the eyes and asked him How come I can t see you guys anymore Or just see you guys more In response she said that the teenager told her Momma it ll change

You and your brother left me in that house always two hours early the pop star said Preston would sleep you would play the piano the whole time And if I didn t shower you guys with gifts and have amazing food ready and play a motherfucking saint it was still never good enough

I didn t do anything wrong and I know I m not perfect but the love I ve given you and how much I adore you and your diplomatic way of speaking like Paw Paw Jamie Spears … This can be fixed I will see when she s better Jayden it was a miracle I could even have a normal conversation when I got out of that place she said

Britney went on You were just like my other family You secretly loved looking at me as if something was wrong with me
Jeff Kravitz / FilmMagic
I didn t need a family hiding shit in houses and whispering shit behind my back Feeling subconsciously guilty because I paid for every fucking thing in both homes I needed unconditional love and support she concluded
