Britney Spears goes down memory lane as she celebrates sons Sean Preston and Jayden James’ birthdays

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Britney Spears is marking a special moment. Her sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James Federline with her ex-husband Kevin Federline, reached significant milestones in their lives and Spears could not be prouder.

Sean Preston turned 19 on September 14, and Jayden James celebrated his 18th birthday on September 12. The pop icon, 42, took to Instagram to share a touching tribute, posting several nostalgic paparazzi photos of herself with her boys, as reported by People.

Britney Spears shares throwback photos for sons’ 18th and 19th birthdays

“This month is my boys’ birthdays!!!” Britney Spears wrote in her caption, “Happy Birthday babies and I hope you get all your wishes and more!!!”

Spears added a lighthearted comment, asking fans about one of the photos, “Psss does anyone have any clue why we’re all looking up???” This image showed the Grammy winner holding one of her sons in her arms as they looked up to the sky.

In a recent interview with People, tied to the release of her memoir 'The Woman in Me', Spears reflected on the joy of becoming a mother to Sean and Jayden, who live with their father, Kevin Federline, in Hawaii.

“Starting a family was my dream come true,” she shared. “Being a mom was my dream come true."

Spears pays child support after both her sons moved to Federline's Hawaii house in 2023 following their resentment over her social media activities.

Spears’ birthday tribute to her sons comes shortly after she posted a playful reaction to Sabrina Carpenter’s MTV VMAs performance, which included a kiss with a backup dancer dressed as an alien.

In a video, Spears asked, “Why is she kissing an alien onstage?” and humorously referenced her own iconic 2003 VMAs moment with Madonna, wondering why Carpenter didn’t “kiss a girl.”

Despite her confusion about the performance, Spears expressed her admiration for Carpenter, praising the young singer and appreciating the shout-out she received on the red carpet.

“She made me cool!” Spears quipped.

Internet reacts to Britney Spears’ birthday tribute to sons

Britney Spears' heartfelt birthday tribute to her sons has stirred a mix of emotions and wholesome reactions across the internet.

One user wrote, "Time surely does fly, as it seems as if it was just the other day she herself was 19."

Another remarked, "Their father’s influence could have a bad effect on the future relationship that they could have with Britney.. I’m scarred for her."

One said, "If they go to College, she will probably end up paying for that too, I bet," while another added, "Their wishes will be funded by Britney for the REST of their DAYS. Good for them!"

One user expressed sympathy for Spears' mental health journey: "So sad her mental state. From someone who struggles with bipolar disorder, I know how important medication regimens are for your mental health. I wish her all the best. Hopefully one day she can really have a relationship with those boys."

"They’re so ungrateful," a user said.
