 Britney Spears has reunited with son 18-year-old Jayden after years of estrangement and his move to Hawaii with dad Kevin Federline and older brother Sean Preston, 19.

The 42-year-old pop megastar - whose 2016 interview was recently published -  is said to have reunited with her youngest son according to a Monday report from Page Six.

An insider for the publication said:  'They have been spending a lot of time together.'

DailyMail.com has reached out to representatives for Spears and Federline and have yet to hear back.

A second source told Page Six that Jayden has been 'back in California' where Britney lives after relocating to Hawaii last year. 

It remains unclear if Jayden stayed at his famous mom's $7.4million estate in Thousand Oaks.

However, Page Six reports that Britney's older son Sean Preston still lives in Hawaii.

The insider for the publication said: 'Britney is thrilled to have her baby back. Everything is moving in the right direction.'

It is interesting to note that there has been no word of Britney spending time with her older son as Jayden has previously said that he was always her favorite.

The younger son previously told Daily Mail in September 2022: 'I think Mom has struggled giving us both attention and showing us equal love, I don’t think she showed enough to Preston, and I feel really bad for that.

'We’ve both been through so much pressure in the past that thi s is our safe place now, to process all the emotional trauma we’ve been through to heal, heal our mental state.'

In September, Britney shocked many fans as she penned a sweet birthday tribute to her sons, Sean and Jayden, in an Instagram post uploaded on Saturday in celebration of them both turning one year older.

The Baby One More Time songstress also shared throwback photos with her kids, whom she shares with ex, Kevin Federline.

The Princess of Pop was slated to cease paying child support to Federline when her youngest son turned 18 - but it was recently revealed that she may have to continue to make payments until he graduates high school later this year, per People.

Sean turned 19 on Saturday and only two days earlier, his younger brother Jayden celebrated his 18th birthday on September 12.

In one image included in the post, Britney could be seen with her two boys when they were younger - and the group could be seen transfixed by something high in the night sky.

Another picture was taken as Spears stepped out while holding one of her sons while strolling outdoors.

Lastly, the performer also shared an additional snap of her enjoying an outing with Sean and Jayden when they were little. 

In the caption, the Toxic singer typed out to her fans and followers, 'This month is my boys' birthdays !!! Happy Birthday babies and I hope you get all your wishes and more!!!' 

'Psss does anyone have any clue why we're all looking up ???' she asked, referencing to the first image she uploaded.

Also earlier that month in September, sources told DailyMail.com that Spears' child support payments will come to a stop as Jayden officially turned 18. 

The performer has been paying her ex, Kevin, for a total of 17 years - with payments amounting to around $5 million. 

'The amount of money Britney has given Kevin for the two boys is extraordinary and it is enough for any man to support an entire family, which is what she believes he has done,' a source stated. 

In regards to Federline, the insider added, 'Britney is hearing that he is not a happy camper' while explaining she is 'living her best life.'

Late last year in October 2023, Britney released her best-selling memoir, The Woman In Me - which is now being turned into a motion picture, with Universal recently acquiring the rights. 

The source stated, 'This film has allowed her to get outside of her head. She is considering creating new music for the soundtrack but that is still preliminary.' 

However, despite her youngest son officially turning 1 8, Britney will possibly have to continue paying child support to Federline for a few more months. 

Kevin's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, told People in an article published on Friday that child support payments must continue until the child graduates high school - even if they are already 18, per California state law. 

 In the caption, the Toxic singer typed out to her fans and followers, 'This month is my boys' birthdays !!! Happy Birthday babies and I hope you get all your wishes and more!!!'; seen in 2013 in L.A.

'Under California law, child support jurisdiction continues until the minor child reaches the age of 18, or if upon their 18th birthday they have not yet graduated high school, it co ntinues until they graduate high school, but in no event later than their 19th birthday,' Kaplan informed the outlet. 

'The child support in this case for Jayden is being paid consistent with that law. His graduation for high school will be in November.' 

A source soon shared the pop icon's response to the possibility of continuing child support payments.  

'Britney has plans for the boys' future and will do whatever she can and will always continue to love and support them,' the insider stated.

Back in June, a source informed DailyMail.com that Britney had reconnected with Sean and Jayden - and revealed her brother Bryan Spears had helped. 

'Britney has been speaking to, and working on, her relationship with Sean Preston and Jayden for months now,' the insider said. 

'The boys have so much love for their mother, as she does for them. Things are fully back on track and they are looking forward to the future together.' 

A separate source explained that the star's brother, Bryan, 'was instrumental in facilitating their reunion. He cares so much for Britney and about his nephews.' 

'She wanted to keep this quiet because she didn' t want it to jeopardize their chances of reconciliation, but she's actually been back to being their mom again since February.' 

Her sons currently live in Hawaii with their father, Kevin, and the source said the singer, 'has gone to Hawaii to see them and they have come to her house to spend time with her.' 

During an interview with ITV in 2022, Jayden expressed that both his and Sean's relationship could be repaired with Britney.

'I 100% think this can be fixed. It's just going to take a lot of time and effort,' he explained at the time. 'I just want her to get better mentally. When she gets better I really want to see her again.'

He then shared a message to his mother and stated, 'I love you a lot, I hope for the best for you. Maybe one day we can sit down like this and talk again.' 

Along with sending her sons sweet birthday wishes, Spears has been active on social media and recently gave her thoughts on Sabrina Carpenter referencing her at the 2024 MTV VMAs. 

Other celebrities paid homage to the pop icon during the big night earlier this week on Wednesday, such as Megan Thee Stallion and Tate McRae.
