Britney Spears’ sons are open to healing their relationship with the pop star after a Mother’s Day phone call.
“Obviously a reconciliation/reunification is somewhat complex and can be a process that takes some time,” Kevin Federline’s attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan tells Page Six.
“And the phone call was a good sign and a step in the right direction, but it’s a process that takes more than just a phone call to accomplish,” he adds.
Kaplan denies reports that the Princess of Pop flew to Hawaii to physically reunite with her boys, 18-year-old Sean Preston and 17-year-old Jayden James, whom she shares with Federline.
“While Kevin supports the boys having a relationship with their mother and is glad that the boys did finally have a phone conversation with her around Mother’s Day, the reports that she flew to Hawaii and met with them are inaccurate,” he tells us.
Reps for Spears did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
Sean and Jayden moved to Hawaii with Federline and his wife Victoria Prince, plus their two children — Peyton, 10, and Jordan, 12 — in 2023. At the time, Page Six confirmed that Spears, 42, did not object to the move.
In June 2023, Federline, 46, denied that he relocated to the popular vacation destination to take advantage of a legal loophole that would extend Spears’ child support obligations.
Instead, Prince reportedly received a job offer at a university, while the former backup dancer had DJing opportunities.
The “Toxic” hitmaker has an infamously rocky relationship with her sons, who have mainly resided with their father over the years.
In May 2023, TMZ reported the threesome hadn’t gotten together in “well over a year” because Sean and Jayden were unhappy about Spears’ bold social media activity.
In 2022, Jayden said in an interview that he and his brother have not seen their famous mother in months.
“I just want her to get better mentally. When she gets better, I really want to see her again,” he noted.
He also said he was open to mending their relationship but cautioned it would take “a lot of time and effort.”
After the interview aired, Spears ripped Jayden apart for talking about their relationship publicly and claiming she “struggled” as a mother.
“Do you guys want me to get better so I can continue to give your dad $40,000 a month?” she questioned on social media.”Or is the reasoning behind you guys deciding to be hateful is because it’s actually over in two years and you don’t get anything?”
Spears welcomed her sons into the world during her two tumultuous years of marriage to Federline in the early 2000s.

The actor and producer has largely maintained primary custody of the boys since due to her 13-year conservatorship, which ended in November 2021.
In her 2023 memoir, “The Woman in Me,” the Grammy winner confessed she “went along” with her controversial conservatorship so she could see her children.
“Because I played by the rules, I was reunited with my boys,” she wrote.
Federline previously shut down reports he conspired with Spears’ family to ensure the conservatorship was set in place and denied using their kids as pawns.
“Kevin was not involved in the conservatorship, and he was not an agent of the conservator or anybody on that side of the probate case,” Kaplan told Page Six in Novemebr 2021.
“Things he did, he did because he thought he had to do that for the sake of the health and well-being of the kids. Kevin has never threatened anything in that regard.”
