Britney Spears' estrangement from her sons, Sean, 19, and Jayden Federline, 18, wasn't by choice — and after years of little contact, their relationship was severely impacted.

Despite concerns about her mental health, sources close to the pop icon revealed in a new interview that she is working hard to reestablish a connection with her children.

'They Want Their Mom in Their Lives'

"The boys are maturing, and they want their mom in their lives, and Britney is really happy about that," a source dished to a news outlet. "She's so grateful to have them in her life. She feels whole again."

Jayden reportedly spent time with his mom between January and April, when he stayed at her home in Los Angeles. "He always knew they'd find their way back to each other eventually, but he's grateful that it happened sooner than later. They fell right into the swing of things like the old days," a second source shared.

'Slowly Building More Trust'

Sean, however, has taken more time to reignite a healthy relationship with his mom. Although he visited Britney multiple times when his younger brother was staying with her, Sean remains cautious.

"[He and Britney are] slowly building more trust. Britney respects his wishes and is being very thoughtful of his [feelings]," the first source shared. "They're focusing on communication without judgment of one another."

The insider continued, "They've both been through different challenges with Britney. Jayden's healing process is a little further along than Preston's."

They're aware of her struggles, both past and present, and they want the best for her and know that having a relationship with her will help matters," the insider stated.
