Jayden James Federline is in the zone when it comes to defending his mom.
Britney Spears’ 19-year-old son—whose dad is Kevin Federline—recently spoke out to address the “clone theory” floating around online about the pop star, calling the speculation “ridiculous.”
“I hop on TikTok and everyone on TikTok—I see this one video that has 1.2 million likes, and the caption is like, ‘The biggest theory ever: Is Britney Spears still alive?’” he said during a July 17 livestream reposted on social media. “Like, bro, you can go to her page and see her right now.”
As Jayden explained, the experience itself made him realize how easily rumors can be “exaggerated and fake.”
“People know how gullible people are,” he continued, “and they use that to their advantage. Anyone that sees it, they just see it and if it has a lot of likes, they [believe] it. They don’t even research it, they’re just, ‘Wow, yeah, it’s crazy. I believe it though.’”
Though Spears—who is also mom to Sean Preston Federline, 20—has been open about the ups and downs of her relationship with her two sons, they’ve recently found themselves in a stronger place than yesterday.
In fact, not only did the “Sometimes” singer reunite with her youngest son in March after her DUI arrest, but she also shared a candid glimpse at their reunion more than a year prior to that, noting that she was in “shock” over their meeting.
“He came back and he feels older and smarter than me !!!" she said of Jayden in 2024. "He’s a man and I cry everyday of my life because of the miracle and genius he is!!! When he plays the whole earth shakes!!!"
But Spears isn’t the only one who is happy to see her kids make amends with the pop star, as her ex Sam Asghari is also delighted a piece of her has returned.
“You want to be able to reconnect with your family,” Asghari exclusively told E! News July 17. “I wish her nothing but the best and love. She has amazing boys."
