More than 20 years have passed since Britney Spears and Kevin Federline sealed their marriage, and although their divorce occurred shortly after, their lives have remained intertwined in the public eye. Now, Federline is back in the headlines with the release of his memoirs, 'You Thought You Knew,' where he addresses his relationship with the iconic Princess of Pop. The dancer, far from fame since his separation, shares in an interview with The New York Times that he has been without direct communication with Spears for years, observing her behavior from a distance with concern. In his memoirs, Federline expresses his fear that Spears's situation is heading toward an irreversible point, and emphasizes his desire to protect his children from the turbulence surrounding his mother.
Federline's account offers a deep and personal look at the complicated relationship he had with Spears, including the fight for custody of their children and the shadows of the past, such as the guardianship under which Spears lived for years. While he highlights his efforts to maintain a healthy connection between the boys and their mother, Spears has responded to the book's statements through People magazine, lamenting that others benefit from his story in a context where child support is no longer being paid. Spears, in a recent conversation, emphasizes her desire to protect the well-being of her children and criticizes sensationalist narratives surrounding her life. In her own autobiography, published two years ago, she accuses Federline of having complicated her relationship with the children and of having tried to convince the world that she was out of control.
