Kevin Federline weighed in just one day after his ex-wife Britney Spears decided to voluntarily enter rehab.
"Kevin is aware of the reports that she has checked into rehab and that if she needs help, he is happy that she is getting help," Federline's lawyer, Mark Vincent Kaplan, told TMZ in a statement on Monday, April 13. "That the decision appears to be one that she made and not one imposed upon her by others if it was."
Kevin Federline Weighed in on Britney Spears Entering Rehab
Kevin Federline and Britney Spears were married from 2004 to 2007.
Federline's lawyer emphasized that the key was Spears' ability to follow and complete the "recommended treatment plan."
Multiple outlets reported on Sunday, April 12, that the "Toxic" singer, 44, finally agreed to get professional help more than a month after she was arrested for a suspected DUI in Ventura County, Calif.
"She realizes she hit rock bottom," one source told TMZ, adding that her pending DUI case played a role in the decision. "She knows strategically this will look good in front of the judge — that she's taking it seriously."
Britney Spears Could Spend More Than 30 Days in Rehab
Britney Spears could reportedly 'stay longer' than 30 days in rehab.
Spears' sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James, whom she shares with Federline, 48, are reportedly supportive of their famous mama's healing journey.
The program is reportedly 30 days, but she could "stay longer," per the outlet.
