Britney Spears got the best Christmas gift this year — a reunion with her youngest son.
Spears, 43, took to Instagram on Wednesday, December 25, to share a video of her and son Jayden, 18, where she referred to him as “my baby” before kissing him on the cheek.
“Best Christmas of my life !!! I haven’t seen my boys in 2 years!!!” she captioned the post. “Tears of joy and literally in shock everyday koo koo crazy so in love and blessed!!!”
Spears noted she was left “speechless” by the reunion before the clip showed her and Jayden in front of a Christmas tree. The singer shares sons Preston, 19, and Jayden with ex-husband Kevin Federline.

Alexa, play “Chaotic” by Britney Spears? It’s been 15 years since the pop princess filed to end her marriage to Kevin Federline on November 7, 2006. The “Toxic” songstress met Federline in 2004 — the same year she was briefly married to childhood friend Jason Alexander for 55 hours. “I met her at a club […]
After her divorce from Federline, 46, in 2007, Britney was under a conservatorship overseen by her father, Jamie Spears, for much of her children’s lives. The conservatorship was terminated in late 2021 after 13 years, and Britney has since had a rocky relationship with her sons.
“I think Mom has struggled giving us both attention and showing us equal love and I don’t think she showed enough to Preston and I feel really bad for that,” Jayden told the Daily Mail in 2022. “We’ve both been through so much pressure in the past that this is our safe place now, to process all the emotional trauma we’ve been through to heal, heal our mental state. If I complained, she went after [my brother]. I feel guilty, so I am there for him. Mom has treated me better.”
Britney responded to Jayden’s comments at the time, writing via Instagram, “I say to my son Jayden that I send all the love in the world to you every day for the rest of my life.”
She continued: “My love for my children has no boundaries and it deeply saddens me to know his outcry of saying I wasn’t up to his expectations of a mother …. and maybe one day we can meet face to face and talk about this openly!”
Jayden and Preston subsequently moved to Hawaii with their father and his wife, Victoria Prince, along with their half-siblings, in 2023. Jayden’s reunion with Britney happened after he returned to California in November.
“Jayden is spending time back in California but does not live with Britney,” a source told Us Weekly. “All of his friends are still in California and he wanted to come back after graduating high school. Jayden reached out to Britney and initiated conversation.”

Britney Spears may be a global superstar, but when it comes to her boys — she’s just Mom. Spears welcomed sons Sean Preston and Jayden with ex-husband Kevin Federline in September 2005 and September 2006, respectively. The singer and Federline divorced in 2007 after three years of marriage. Following her split from Federline, Spears endured […]
The insider noted that Jayden was “open to mending the relationship” with his mother.
“It’s going to take time and will not be an immediate reconciliation. They have seen each other twice and [it] was very brief,” the source continued. “Britney was very excited to hear from him. She hopes they can continue to spend time together and hopes Preston also comes around. She has had a hole in her heart from not seeing her boys. Jayden reaching out means everything to her.”
