Britney Spears is all smiles now that her son Jayden is home.
Spears, 43, shared a photo via Instagram on Sunday, June 15, of herself posing next to her son, 18, as he towered over her. The pair appear to be in Spears’ home as they smiled for the camera.
Spears hasn’t offered much of an explanation about whether or not Jayden is staying with her for the foreseeable future. She also shares Preston, 19, with ex-husband Kevin Federline, who moved the boys to Hawaii in 2023.
Earlier this week, Spears shared a video of Jayden driving via Instagram. “He is 6’3 and his hands are so big now !!! How long am I going to be in shock ??? It’s so incredibly crazy, it’s not even funny !!! I’m blessed !!! Just please be careful with my heart too !!! ????????????,” she captioned the post.
In November, a source told Us Weekly Jayden had “reached out” to his mom to repair their fractured relationship. “Jayden is spending time back in California but does not live with Britney,” the source also said. “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.”
The source added, “He is open to mending the relationship with his mom and seeing where things go. 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 also said that Spears is hopeful Jayden’s brother will want to connect one day, too. “Britney was very excited to hear from him. She hopes they can continue to spend time together and hopes Preston also comes around,” the source told Us. “She has had a hole in her heart from not seeing her boys. Jayden reaching out means everything to her.”
“Jayden and Britney have a great relationship,” a second source also contributed. The second source said the teen will “likely be based in California long-term,” with plans to attend college there.
Jayden spoke about his troubled relationship with his mom in 2022.
“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,” he told the Daily Mail at the time.“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.”
“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,” Britney stated at the time. “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!”
