Kevin Federline, Britney Spears’ former husband, has made candid revelations about his ex-wife’s parenting in his new memoir, You Thought You Knew.

Kevin Federline Critiques Britney’s Parenting
In the memoir, Federline claims that Spears, known for hits like Toxic, did not always prioritize her children. He writes:
“I was in Miami for work, trying to stay focused on my commitments, and I got a call,” recalling a night when he allegedly found his sons crying while Spears was socializing with A-list friends.

Federline points to Spears’ association with Paris Hilton and Lindsay Lohan, describing a situation where the women were “drunk as hell, begging me to come over,” while Preston and Jayden cried in the background at three or four in the morning.
“Hearing my kids crying while she was doing God-knows-what? That was it,” he adds, marking the moment as the turning point in their relationship. He further states that any hope of reconciling with Spears for the sake of their children “died right then.”

At 47 years old, Federline uses the memoir to provide insight into his experiences as a father and ex-husband, revealing the challenges he faced balancing work and co-parenting. The book details how moments like these influenced his perception of Spears’ role as a parent and shaped his decisions moving forward.
