Britney Spears enjoys rare family outing with sons Sean and Jayden at Dolly Parton’s Dollywood
NASHVILLE, TENNESSEE: Britney Spears gushed over a “family outing” with her sons, Sean and Jayden Federline, during a visit to Dolly Parton’s Dollywood theme park in Nashville, calling the destination “so incredibly cool and exciting.”
The outing comes more than a month after Parton died at the age of 80 on August 25 following a brief battle with cancer.

Spears, 44, took to Instagram on Tuesday, October 6, with a photo of herself arm in arm with Sean, 21, and Jayden, 19, as they posed outside Dollywood.
The Grammy winner wore a denim mini skirt, a casual striped top and sandals, while keeping a low profile with a face mask and sunglasses.
Sean and Jayden both wore simple white T-shirts, pants and white sneakers. “Wow wow!!!” Spears wrote in the caption, admitting she “didn’t know this place existed” and describing it as “so incredibly cool and exciting.”
The pop princess also noted that the weather was “extremely hot” and said her skirt was “too big” before exclaiming, “family outings!!!” She concluded her post by writing, “DOLLYWOOD IS ABSOLUTELY ADORABLE!!!"
Spears welcomed Sean and Jayden with ex-husband Kevin Federline, whom she divorced in 2007 after two years of marriage.
Federline collected tens of thousands of dollars per month in child support from Spears until both sons turned 18, with the payments ending in 2024.
Britney Spears rebuilds bond with sons Sean, Jayden
Spears and her sons have navigated a number of difficult moments as a family. During a November 2025 'Talk Shop Live' appearance, Federline said they had been “trying to find a way to mend a bond between their mom.”
“They absolutely love their mom, right? I mean, they always, always have, always will,” Federline added. “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.”
In April, Sean seemingly dropped the Federline name on Instagram and replaced it with his mother’s surname, going by “Sean P Spears” on the platform.
Later that month, following Spears’ March 4 DUI arrest, her sons were said to have been supportive of the singer.
“She’s been spiraling the last couple of years. And things weren’t going great, and now with the boys reentering her life, fully, this was a great opportunity,” an insider told Page Six, calling it “wonderful” for Spears to reconnect with them.
The source said Spears’ sons “are her whole world” and an “absolute gift,” adding that Sean and Jayden were in Los Angeles with her because “they’re her sons and want to be, and they just want the best for her.”
