The star shares two kids with Kevin Federline.

Spears, who shares sons with her ex Kevin Federline, has been making headlines as of late for her posts.

After posing a naked photo on the 'gram, fans spoke out about her well-being.

“For the love of God, it is Britney Spears, end of discussion. She’s harmless. Life happens things happen people change. She’s sick. It’s not always a self-improvement journey upwards for us all, but she looks happy… let her be,” commented one supporter.

“I’m sorry for whatever you did go through. But it breaks my heart to continue to watch you continue to spiral out of control,” wrote another.

Britney Spears is close with son Jayden.

After Federline and Spears split in November 2006, they first shared custody of the boys. However, after Spears experienced a mental breakdown in 2008, she was placed on a 5150 psychiatric hold.

In June 2008, they agreed that Federline would retain sole custody of the boys, while Spears would receive two visits and one overnight per week.

At the time, she was placed under a conservatorship from 2008 until 2021.
