Britney Spears reportedly reunited with one of her two sons for Christmas this year.
The pop star, 44, is a mother to two sons – Sean Preston, 20, and Jayden, 19 – from her past marriage to Kevin Federline.
But her youngest son appeared to be the only family member with her in Los Angeles for the 2025 holiday.
‘Britney had a fun time celebrating Christmas with Jayden,’ a source told People about how the pop star spent time with Jayden just after she reconnected with her once estranged kids.
The insider added, ‘It’s been such a special holiday.’
The Daily Mail has reached out to representatives for Spears for comment.

Meanwhile, her eldest son Sean Preston Federline, 20, spent the holidays in Louisiana with his aunt Jamie Lynn Spears and his grandmother Lynne Spears
Sean Preston reportedly had to stay in Louisiana due to a work obligation so he spent the holidays with his aunt’s family and his grandmother, per TMZ.
On Christmas Day, Britney’s younger sister Jamie Lynn Spears shared a festive post on Instagram and included a group photo with Sean.
In the snapshot, the Zoey 101 actress was seen standing outside and posing with Sean Preston and the rest of their family.
Sean Preston posed with his arms on the shoulders of his grandma and his cousin Maddie, Jamie Lynn’s 17-year-old daughter.
They were also joined by the Jamie Lynn’s husband Jamie Watson and their youngest child, their seven-year-old daughter Ivey.
Jamie Lynn also shared more photos of her two daughters, their Christmas gifts and more of an inside look at their holiday festivities in her social media post.
Sean Preston only made a single appearance in the entire post.
Britney was married Federline in 2004 and welcomed their two sons shortly thereafter before the couple called it quits just three years later.
Their divorce was finalized in July 2007 with the couple agreeing to split custody of their young children.
However, just several months later, a court ruled to grant Federline sole physical custody of their kids.
Over the years, the exes had different custody arrangements for their kids.

For most of Sean Preston and Jayden’s childhood, Federline would have majority of custody, however.
They later moved to a different state to live with their father, becoming estranged from Britney in 2022, just after her father’s conservatorship over her was terminated, before reconciling in 2024.
Both Sean and Jayden have lived with their father in Hawaii since 2023. In Federline’s newly released memoir, he opened up about his sons’ strained relationship with their pop star mom and for allegedly ’emotionally traumatizing’ Sean and Jayden.
In 2024, Britney reconciled with Jayden and has since shared social media posts of their reunions on multiple occasions in the past year.
In September, a source revealed that Britney and her eldest son Sean Preston are also ‘slowly rebuilding’ their relationship.

‘He still has mixed feelings, but seeing Jayden reunite with Britney has given him hope for their own future,’ a source told Us Weekly earlier this year. ‘She’s so grateful to have them in her life. She feels whole again.’
In November, Federline talked about Britney’s relationship with their sons as well as sharing whether or not he has been in contact with his ex-wife at all since his bombshell memoir, You Thought You Knew, was published.
‘We haven’t talked specifically, but I know that she’s talked to our sons, which is good,’ he said during a November appearance on the Talk Shop Live podcast.
He also explained that Sean Preston and Jayden have been ‘trying to find a way to mend a bond with their mom.’
He added: ‘They absolutely love their mom, right? I mean, they always, always have, always will. It’s instilled in them. And I’ve always wanted for them to have a connection with their mom, the way I have with my mom.’
