Though Britney Spears and Sam Asghari finalized their divorce last December, The Traitors star is still coming to his ex’s defense. Sam had a few words to say about Britney’s other ex, Kevin Federline, and his parenting style, during a recent interview with TMZ.
His comment comes after the former pro dancer announced his upcoming memoir, You Thought You Knew, which covers “fame, fatherhood and the private cost of public life—from one of pop culture’s most misunderstood figures.”
“He was a professional father,” Sam said about K-Fed, who welcomed two sons, Sean and Jayden, with Britney in 2005 and 2006. “So, it would be the first book that would tell you how to be a professional father.”

“This book is extremely intimate and transparent,”Kevin wrote in a press release, per TMZ. “I achieved my biggest dreams, dealt with crushing heartbreak, and endured constant ridicule, all while becoming the father my children needed as they experienced nonstop emotional turbulence.”
Aside from his children with the “Baby… One More Time” hitmaker, Kevin shares two grown children, Kori and Kaleb, with his ex-fiancée, Shar Jackson, and two younger kids, Jordan and Peyton, with his current wife, Victoria Prince.
In May 2023, Kevin’s attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, told People that Britney had “consented” to their sons, Sean and Jayden, moving to Hawaii to be with their dad. “It’s an opportunity for Kevin and his wife, and the boys are ready to get away from the L.A. microscope,” K-Fed’s lawyer said at the time.
A few years later, Britney shared that she had reunited with her youngest, Jayden, to celebrate New Year’s Eve in a sweet Instagram post.
“I hadn’t seen him in 2 and half years or maybe 3 !!!” Britney wrote in the caption of her post, which featured photos of Jayden posing outdoors.
She continued, praising her son for his piano skills that she would later mention in another social media post that has since been deleted.
“I’m in shock !!! He came back and he feels older and smarter than me !!! He’s a man and I cry everyday of my life because of the miracle and genius he is !!! When he plays the whole earth shakes !!!”
Kevin’s tell-all, You Thought You Knew, comes nearly two years after Britney’s memoir, The Woman In Me, was published. It’s set to release on October 21.
