WATCH: Kevin Federline wants Britney Spears ‘happy and healthy’

Federline says he 'respects' Britney as she fights for her conservatorship to be removed.


Pop star Britney Spears’ conservatorship battle is receiving additional help from an unlikely ally, ex-husband Kevin Federline.

There has been growing momentum in support of Spears “freedom” after she broke her silence in a public court hearing. She revealed disturbing facts of her living reality due to the conservatorship, such as being denied the right to marry her boyfriend, Sam Asghari, or even have children with him.

Federline and Spears had a tumultuous marriage that lasted three years from 2004 to 2007. In a statement Federline said for the sake of their kids, “the best thing would be for their mom to be healthy and happy, and if either of those things aren’t true, it doesn’t provide for the best setting for custody to be exercised,” E! Online reported.

The former dancer and rapper said he “respects Britney and only hopes the best for her because when the best for her is achieved, it’s the best for their kids. The kids love their mother and he wants there to be a healthy and strong relationship.”
