What We Know About Britney Spears' Relationship With Kevin Federline

Regardless of all that transpired between them, Kevin Federline has appeared to be supportive of Britney Spears, at least according to various media reports.

For example, in April 2019, K-Fed showed his support for Spears amid reports she had sought treatment at a mental health facility after canceling her follow-up Las Vegas residency, "Domination." Spears had cited stress over her father's health issues in a post to Instagram (via Us Weekly). According to his attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, "Kevin commends Britney for recognizing that she needs to take a step back and that she is taking the reasonable steps to deal with her situation in a responsible way" (via The Blast). During this time, the boys remained primarily in the care of their father and stepmother.

Later, in June 2021, after Britney testified in court during her hearing to end the nearly 13-year-long legal conservatorship that had been in place, K-Fed's attorney again shared his client's thoughts on his ex in a statement to People. "The best thing would be for their mom to be healthy and happy," the statement read. "And if either of those things aren't true, it doesn't provide for the best setting for custody to be exercised."
