Britney Spears' former husband Kevin Federline says their two sons have opted not to see their pop star mother for several months.
The Daily Mail reports Federline made the revelation during a series of interviews due to air on ITV news in the coming days.
The singer and former backup dancer says 16-year-old Sean Preston and 15-year-old Jayden have not seen Spears in many months and did not to go to her wedding to 28-year-old model Sam Asghari earlier this year.
"The boys have decided they are not seeing [their mother] right now," Federline reportedly revealed.

However, Federline alleges Spears' behaviour on Instagram over the past year, especially her nude selfies, has been "tough" for her sons to cope with.
"I try to explain to them, 'Look, maybe that's just another way she tries to express herself.' But that doesn't take away from the fact of what it does to them. It's tough."
Federline also spoke about Spears' controversial 13-year conservatorship, saying he believes the arrangement "saved" her. He added the situation was hard on him and his children, too.

But Federline said he hopes the drama that has engulfed Spears and her family will eventually be behind them all.
"I wish for them to forgive, to reach inner peace and then peace with each other. One day."
Federline and Spears first met in early 2004 and were wed later that year. The relationship ended two years later, shortly after the birth of Jayden.
Federline and his current wife of nine years, Victoria, now live with their blended family of six children.
