After years of radio silence, Britney Spears finally seems to be in contact with her son Jayden James again. The 18-year-old even visited the singer in Los Angeles. This brings the 42-year-old one step closer to her frequently expressed desire to improve her relationship with her sons.
After a long period of distance, Britney Spears and her son Jayden James Federline seem to be getting closer again. This is reported by the celebrity portal “Page Six”, citing an insider who says that mother and son have “spent a lot of time together” recently.
Jayden James is now 18 years old and is reportedly living back in California. He moved to Hawaii last year with his brother Sean Preston, who is one year older, his father Kevin Federline and his family because Federline's wife had taken a job at a university there. While Sean Preston apparently stayed in Hawaii, Jayden James is said to have sought contact with his mother back in California. Spears is said to be very happy about this development. “Britney is thrilled to have her baby back,” Page Six quoted a source close to her as saying. The relationship is developing “in the right direction”.
First visit to Spears' home
According to People magazine, Jayden James has even visited his mother at her home in Los Angeles. An insider also emphasizes how positive the time spent together had on Spears. The meetings “made the 42-year-old happy.” For the singer, who has also been in the headlines in recent years for her broken family life and a long-running guardianship dispute, this rapprochement could provide much-needed emotional support.
The relationship between Spears and her sons was strained for a long time. Jayden James and Sean Preston are from their marriage to Kevin Federline, which ended after almost three years in 2007. Since 2008, Federline has had sole custody of the boys, while Spears' contact with them has become less and less. The family structure changed further when Federline remarried and moved to Hawaii with his wife Victoria Prince and their two daughters Peyton and Jordan. Federline has a total of six children from different relationships.
But recently there seem to have been signs of an improvement in the mother-son relationship. According to Federline's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, a call from Jayden James on Mother's Day was a first positive step. “Obviously, reconciliation is somewhat complex and can be a process that takes some time,” Kaplan told Page Six at the time. Now the visit to Los Angeles could lay the foundation for a deeper bond between Spears and Jayden James.
