Britney Spears' ex-husband has spoken out after it's been reported she's reconnected with their son.
Spears herself would probably say reconnecting with Jayden Federline is long overdue - having gone years at one point without so much as a word.
Their reconnection comes as multiple news outlets reported how the 42-year-old will no longer have to pay child support to her ex-husband Kevin Federline when Jayden graduates from high school this month.
Spears is estimated to have paid a staggering $5 million to Federline over the last 17 years for the two kids since they split up.

Obviously the courts take into account your income and other factors... but still that's a lot of money to pay out.
Spears and Federline were married between 2004 and 2007 and welcomed two sons together over the course of their relationship.
In light of Spears' struggles over the years, Federline was given full custody of their kids in 2008 and the 'Toxic' hitmaker has been paying him child support ever since.

"The amount of money Britney has given Kevin for the two boys is extraordinary and it is enough for any man to support an entire family, which is what she believes he has done," a source close to Spears told MailOnline.
Now, TMZ has reported that Jayden has moved back from Hawaii to California and has been patching his relationship up with his mom.
A source also told Page Six: "They have been spending a lot of time together."
While a second insider added: "Britney is thrilled to have her baby back. Everything is moving in the right direction.”

The news has sparked a statement from Federline's camp, with Federline's attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan telling the publication: "If there has been a reconciliation it’s news to Kevin."
He went on to explain in further detail that Jayden and Federline speak often and at no point have they spoke about a reconciliation between him and his mom.
Since Spears lost custody of her children their relationship has been fractured but Jayden had always hoped they could reconcile.

Back in 2022, he told the Daily Mail: "I 100% think this can be fixed.
"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."
It came after it emerged that Spears had been under conservatorship with her father Jamie Spears, and attorney Andrew M Wallet both named as conservators - it lasted from February 2008 until three years ago to this date (November 12, 2021).
What it meant was that a judge ruled that they should manage the personal or financial affairs of Spears who was deemed incapable of fully managing her own affairs.
