Britney Spears’ son Jayden James Federline is breaking his silence on his relationship with his famous mom — and why he and his brother missed her wedding to Sam Asghari.
15-year-old Jayden and his brother, 16-year-old Sean Preston, chose not to attend Britney and Sam’s recent nuptials. Their father, Kevin Federline, spoke out and stated that the kids decided not to see her.
Britney then responded publicly to Kevin’s comments, calling them “hurtful.”
Now, in a new interview with documentary filmmaker Daphne Barak, Jayden is opening up on the situation with Britney and the choices he and his brother have made regarding her.
Jayden shared that he has “no hate” for his mother and that he expects to repair their relationship with “a lot of time and effort.” He said:
“I 100% think this can be fixed. It’s just going to 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.”
In a message directed to his mom, Jayden said:
“I love you a lot, I hope for the best for you. Maybe one day we can sit down like this and talk again.”
He also shared insight on why he and Sean did not attend her wedding, explaining:
“At the time it just wasn’t a good time to go. I’m not saying that I’m not happy for her. I’m really happy for them, but 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.”
And he said this about his relationship with his brother:
“Preston and I are very united. He is always looking out for me and I am looking out for him. We make sure that we are both healthy mentally.”
Following the interview, Britney took to social media to pen a response. She wrote on Instagram:
“I’ve tried my best at being the best person I can be… to be basically held hostage in homes under nurses and bulls–t I hope my kids one day understand my reasoning of my play in water revealing myself as any woman would being held under blankets and supervision under the conservatorship!!!
Finally at 40 without the restraints of what my family did to me… I say to my son Jaden that I send all the love in the world to you every day for the rest of my life!!!! My love for my children has no boundaries and it deeply saddens me to know his outcry of saying I wasn’t up to his expectations as a mother… and maybe one day we can meet face to face and talk about this openly!!!!
Maybe dear child YOU can explain to me why our family would do that to anyone!!!! I helped your father who hasn’t had a job in 15 years.”
She went on, saying:
“I assume it is easier for you guys not to have someone check on you to make sure you’re doing your homework !!!! I’m sure the standards of your dad smoking weed every day benefits your daily life at 15 and 16 to partake in a VERY COOL GENERATION …. !!! completely understand your need to live with your father as I had to play the perfect role for 15 years for absolutely nothing. I’m so happy I was able to carry 4 tours, judge X Factor and WAAAY more … I did that for you. And Preston … I’m aware of your gift … I know you’re a teacher in my life and dear child I’m a teacher for you as well !!! It’s horrible to see your dad be a hypocrite and say the media is horrible yet he has you talking about personal matters to them!!! 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!!!!”
Britney concluded her message to her sons by writing:
“Since Preston didn’t speak, I send my love!!! I would love nothing more than to see you two face to face. Keep playing your gift on the piano … you and your brother both are brilliant and I’m so proud to call you both mine. As for my mental health … my dear child understand you must learn to pick up a book and read one before you resort to even thinking about my intellect sweetheart !!! Tell your father to go try and at least mow the lawn … Psss if you can honestly sit back and say with your sensible brilliant mind what memaw and paw paw did to me was fine and call them not bad people … then yes I have failed as a mother and hopefully that’s a chat for you and your father to sit face to face and try to learn WHAT’S GOOD.”
