Britney Spears Says She’s Moved to Mexico to Escape Paparazzi
Britney Spears just wants to hold this moment closer.
After a years-long separation, the 43-year-old received an extra special Christmas gift in the form of her 18-year-old son Jayden—who she shares with ex-husband Kevin Federline in addition to 19-year-old son Sean—after a years-long separation.
“Best Christmas of my life,” Britney captioned a Dec. 25 Instagram 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 !!! I’m speechless thank you Jesus !!!”
In the accompanying video, Britney—dressed in an off-the-shoulder red dress and black choker—wishes a merry Christmas to the camera, echoed by Jayden, before she adds, “This is my baby.”
For his part, Jayden wore a black hoodie, looking so grown up as he smiled alongside his mother.
The “Toxic” singer’s reunion with her son comes after he and Sean relocated to Hawaii in 2023 alongside their father, stepmom Victoria Prince and two half-sisters. At the time, Kevin’s attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan told People of the decision, "The boys are ready to get away from the L.A. microscope."
The move came amid an ongoing estrangement between Britney—who recently shared she’d moved to Mexico—and her two sons. In fact, over a year after the move to Hawaii, Kevin’s lawyer shared an update on where the Crossroads actress stood with her children.
"Reconciliations and the reunification of relationships are difficult and take time," the attorney told Entertainment Tonight in June. "They are sometimes complicated and always a lengthy process. The process has not really commenced, let alone [been] completed."

He continued, "The good thing is that the boys saw their mom was doing well and have a desire to speak with her. There has been some telephonic communication between Britney and her sons, and we think that is a step in the right direction."
Jayden, for his part, has also shared the occasional insight into his relationship with his mom—whose 13-year conservatorship ended in 2021.
As he explained in a 2022 ITV documentary, while he and Sean have "no hate" towards Britney, he admitted mending their relationship would be no easy task.
"I 100 percent think this can be fixed," Jayden stressed, while noting living with their dad was what was best for him and his brother at that time. "It's just going to take a lot of time and effort. I just want her to get better mentally. When she gets better I really want to see her again."
The then 15-year-old also shared a message directly with his mother, telling the camera, "I love you a lot, I hope for the best for you. Maybe one day we can sit down like this and talk again."
