Britney Spears is getting her only wish this year!
The 43-year-old pop star revealed in an Instagram post on Wednesday, Dec. 25 that she had “tears of joy” while celebrating Christmas with her youngest son Jayden James, 18, explaining that she hasn’t seen him in “two years.”
Their sweet reunion was captured on video. In the clip, Jayden told the camera “hello,” as he stood next to his mom, who introduced him to her followers by saying, “this is my baby.” The pop singer also placed a big kiss on his cheek.
The video then cut to show the mother-son pair in front of a Christmas tree, as Spears — in a red over the shoulder dress — wished fans a “Merry Christmas.” The 18-year-old followed suit saying, “Merry Christmas!,” before the camera veered off to the right to show a fireplace.
“Best Christmas of my life !!!,” Spears captioned the post. “I haven’t seen my boys in 2 years !!!”
“Tears of joy and literally in shock everyday koo koo crazy so in love and blessed !!!,” she added. “I’m speechless thank you Jesus !!!”

The “Lucky” singer shares Jayden and Sean Preston, 19, with ex-husband Kevin Federline, whom she filed for divorce in 2006 after three years of marriage.
Since their divorce was finalized in July 2007, they have had different custody arrangements, though the boys have most recently been with their father, whom they moved to Hawaii with in 2023. Spears “consented” to the move, Federline’s attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan told PEOPLE at the time.
Another source confirmed to PEOPLE that the former dancer first reached out to his ex-wife earlier that month for permission to move. “Britney has always faithfully supported her children and wants them to be happy,” the insider said.
After a year of living in Hawaii, a source told PEOPLE that Jayden reunited with his mother in Los Angeles last month and the pair have been hanging out in her home.
“Spending time together has made her happy,” an insider told PEOPLE.
While appearing on the cover of PEOPLE in October 2023 to promote her memoir The Woman in Me, the pop star called motherhood a “dream.” She said of raising her sons, “Starting a family was my dream come true. Being a mom was my dream come true.”
Preston and Jayden often accompanied their mom on tour and visited her during her Las Vegas residency. In 2021, Spears explained on Instagram, “I had my babies very young … at all the pools we went to on tours, all the babies flocked to me because I always brought the most toys 🧸🪁🪀. I really am a baby mamma 😜😜😜 !!!!”
