Kevin Federline

Britney Spears' ex-husband, Kevin Federline, gets brutally honest about why their boys have decided to keep their mom at arm's length for the time being.

The boys -- all my kids -- know that they come to me and to my wife and discuss anything." They made the decision not to go to her wedding," going on to add that they were happy for her and that they still wish their mother the best. So, I made sure all my kids can come to me at any moment and discuss anything. KF says he's tried to explain it away, but it's hard on them regardless. For starters, Kevin says their sons are deliberately choosing to avoid Britney right now. He says, "The boys have decided they are not seeing her right now.

Britney Spears' sons — Preston, 16 and Jayden, 15 — have avoided the “Toxic” singer for months, according to their dad, Kevin Federline.

“They’ve had a lot of questions about it,” he reportedly said of the children. I feel like, if I found that, I’d be on the phone trying to tell her.” I can’t imagine how it feels to be a teenager having to go to high school.” “I try to explain to them, ‘Look, maybe that’s just another way she tries to express herself.’ But that doesn’t take away from the fact of what it does to them. They made the decision not to go to her wedding.” “This whole thing has been hard to watch, harder to live through, harder to watch my boys go through than anything else,” the backup dancer reportedly said of the recent media circus surrounding the November end of her conservatorship.

Growing up in the shadow of a superstar parent is never easy – but for Britney Spears' two sons the darkness casts a little further than most.

“I knew I had to fight. The kids were everything.” He reveals how he got a restraining order against Britney’s conservator dad — but is ready to build bridges with him. Now his sole focus is on his children — and he hopes the boys will eventually be able to have a good relationship with their mother. But despite the harsh words and legal cases, Kevin insists there is a lot of love in the family and he keeps the door open for the boys to see all their relatives. As Kevin’s mother rushed the kids upstairs, he and a member of his security team stapled bedsheets to the windows to try to keep their privacy from the snappers outside. Kevin said: “They were happy for her but as they’re not seeing her right now, they made the decision not to go to her wedding.” Dad-of-six Kevin, who lives with his wife Victoria, 39, their two children, his boys by Britney and his two eldest from a previous marriage, says he has “apologised” to Preston and Jayden over the stream of online pictures posted by their mother. Kevin believes that the 2008 order — granted by a court when a person is deemed unable to manage their own affairs — “100 per cent” saved Britney at the beginning. And he claims he discovered his marriage to the singer was over in a live radio interview. In a wide-ranging interview, Britney’s ex-husband also reveals that he tells the boys that their mum’s provocative Instagram posts are her way of “expressing herself”. Their father Kevin Federline has tried to carve out a normal life for the teenage boys amid the backdrop of a family tearing itself apart with lawsuits and bitter words on social media.
