LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Britney Spears' youngest son, Jayden James, who turned 18 in September, reportedly reached out to his mother with the intention of "mending" their relationship after he started living in California, as per RadarOnline.

A source close to the 'Toxic' singer, revealed, "Jayden is spending time back in California but does not live with Britney."

"All of his friends are still in California and he wanted to come back after graduating high school. Jayden reached out to Britney and initiated the conversation," added the tipster. 

Federline, Spears' ex-husband and the father of her sons, Jayden James and Sean Preston, relocated to O'ahu, Hawaii with his entire family in August 2023. 

However, as per the latest reports, Jayden, upon turning 18, moved back to California and is now looking forward to attending school in the state.

The insider revealed that he "is open to mending the relationship with his mom and seeing where things go."

They added, "It's going to take time and will not be an immediate reconciliation. They have seen each other twice and (it) was very brief."

Meanwhile, another source shared with Us Weekly that "Jayden and Britney have a great relationship," before noting the teenager would "likely be based in California long-term" as he plans to pursue education in the state. 

The "Princess of Pop" was married to Federline, her former backup dancer, from 2004 to 2007.

Before the songstress made her final child support payment to Federline on Friday, November 15, a source shared with Page Six, that Jayden was "back in California" where his mother lived. "They have been spending a lot of time together," added the source. 

Another tipster mentioned, "Britney is thrilled to have her baby back. Everything is moving in the right direction."

Jayden James reportedly courted a troubled relationship with her pop star mother when he spoke out about her struggles to balance her glamorous career and her private life.

In an interview in 2022, Jayden said, "I think Mom has struggled giving us both attention and showing us equal love and I don't think she showed enough to Preston and I feel really bad for that."

He continued, "We've both been through so much pressure in the past that this is our safe place now, to process all the emotional trauma we've been through to heal, heal our mental state. If I complained, she went after (my brother). I feel guilty, so I am there for him. Mom has treated me better."

Nevertheless, before the boys moved to Hawaii with their father, Spears gushed about them and motherhood in general in a lengthy Instagram post in 2021.

"I’m extremely lucky because my two babies are such gentleman and so kind that I must have done something right 🙊 !!!!" added the 'Criminal' singer. 

She further shared, "I haven’t posted pictures of them for some time cause they’re at the age where they want to express their own identities and I totally get it .... But I went out of my way to make this cool edit 🌅 and guess what .... They’re finally letting me post it !!! Now I don’t feel left out anymore 😂😂😂 and I’m gonna go celebrate."

Spears concluded, "Oh s**t I guess cool moms don’t do that ... Ok I’ll just read a book instead 🤷🏼‍♀️📚🤣 !!!!"
