Britney Spears and Kevin Federline: A Timeline of Their Turbulent Relationship and Custody Battle

Britney Spears and Kevin Federline were married for almost three years after meeting in the summer of 2004. They quickly hit it off and got married a few months later in California. Despite Spears proposing to Federline, their relationship faced challenges, including a custody battle after their divorce in 2007. They share two sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James. Federline later gained sole custody of the children amid Spears' personal struggles. In 2019, they agreed to a new custody arrangement granting Spears 30 percent of unsupervised custodial rights. Federline spoke out about the estrangement between Spears and their sons, leading to a public exchange between the exes. Spears released her memoir, "The Woman in Me," in 2023, reflecting on her marriage to Federline and her public breakdown. Federline also released his memoir, "You Thought You Knew," which included allegations against Spears, sparking a response from the singer.
