Britney Spears’ ex-husband, Kevin Federline, has shared new and shocking details about their past relationship in his upcoming memoir, You Thought You Knew. The former dancer, who was once part of Spears’ team, describes their marriage as troubled and unpredictable, expressing that he still worries about her mental health.
Federline and Spears met in 2004 and quickly fell in love. They married that same year and had two sons Preston, now 20, and Jayden, now 19. However, their relationship soon fell apart. Spears filed for divorce in 2006, and after a public custody battle, Federline was given full custody of their children.
In his book, Federline recalls Spears’ erratic behaviour after their breakup, including the incidents where she shaved her head and hit a photographer’s car with an umbrella, moments that shocked fans around the world. He says these events showed how deeply she was struggling, which led to her conservatorship in 2008.
The book also includes serious claims, accusing Spears of substance use and unsafe behaviour as a mother, though Spears has strongly denied these accusations. She has criticized the memoir, calling it an attempt to profit from her name.
Federline defends his support of the conservatorship, calling it a “lifeline” for Spears in her early recovery days. However, his claims have sparked debate among fans, especially after years of the #FreeBritney movement, which fought for her freedom from control.
As the memoir’s release approaches, many are watching closely to see how Britney responds and whether this new controversy will reopen old wounds or finally close a long, painful chapter in her life.
