I was at one of P. Diddy's freak-offs.
00:03
Freak-offs.
00:04
You saw celebrities there that you recognized.
00:07
Mm-hmm.
00:08
It was a rapper that we all know.
00:11
Straight-up porn directed by Diddy.
00:13
I'm just grateful to have made it out.
00:15
Britney Spears and a momentous occasion for her.
00:19
A major milestone coming up later this week.
00:21
TGI Fridays.
00:24
Yes, she has reached that point where she is about to write
00:28
the final child support check to Kevin Federline
00:33
because their youngest son is now 18
00:38
and Jaden is graduated high school.
00:42
So that's it.
00:44
No more checks.
00:45
As they say, that's all she wrote.
00:48
And by the way, the last payment is due Friday.
00:52
It is $10,000.
00:54
She was paying Kevin bimonthly $20,000 a month,
00:58
so she paid $10,000 at the beginning of November.
01:01
Friday will be the last payment.
01:03
Jaden is now 18.
01:05
Sean Preston is a year older.
01:07
And that's it for her.
01:09
She's been paying child support as much as $40,000 a month
01:12
since 2018.
01:14
She's been paying child support for many, many years.
01:17
That chip will sail Friday.
01:20
I know that their lawyers had gone back and forth,
01:23
Brittany and Kevin's, for several months earlier this year
01:27
to work out this final agreement, kind of saying,
01:30
you know, Brittany will pay Kevin right up until November.
01:33
That's when Jaden graduated from high school.
01:36
Yeah, this is a momentous occasion,
01:39
a milestone for Brittany Spears.
01:41
It also is for Kevin Federline.
01:43
I mean...
01:44
But not in a great way.
01:46
Not in a great way, but things are about to change.
01:48
Things are about to change radically.
01:50
Because, look, I mean, he was getting child support
01:52
because he had the kids 100% of the time.
01:55
Brittany was estranged.
01:57
We're going to get into this in a second,
01:59
but Brittany has been estranged from her children for years now.
02:03
But the ice is thawing some.
02:05
Yeah, because we know that Jaden has met with her
02:09
a couple of times,
02:11
and that it seems like there's a potential here
02:16
for a full reconciliation.
02:18
Now, as we told you yesterday, at this point,
02:21
Kevin Federline is telling people
02:23
he hadn't heard anything from Jaden
02:26
about a full reconciliation.
02:28
But, look, if they've met a couple of times...
02:31
Look, they moved to...
02:32
...and he's been here in California.
02:33
They moved to Hawaii, Kevin and the two kids.
02:36
Jaden has now come back to L.A.
02:39
He has met with Brittany a couple of times.
02:42
That's a big deal, because he hadn't been face-to-face
02:44
with Brittany since before she married Sam Asghari.
02:50
So it's been years.
02:52
We don't think Sean Preston has done the same.
02:55
They have texted, but the ice seems to be thawing a bit.
02:59
Yeah.
03:00
Which is a good thing.
03:01
It's unclear why Jaden is back here in L.A.
03:05
Obviously, that's where he saw his mom.
03:07
But, you know, there's kind of a lot of speculation.
03:09
Jaden obviously just turned 18.
03:12
That's why these child support payments are going to be done
03:14
dunzo soon.
03:16
But a lot of people think that he was very interested in music.
03:20
Possible he's out here for college,
03:22
or maybe he's out here to start a music career.
03:25
Maybe, you know, he's reconciling with his mom
03:29
over their passion that they share over music
03:32
and, you know, songwriting and stuff like that.
03:35
I'm Natalie from Los Angeles.
03:37
Honestly, I'm so happy for Brittany.
03:39
I'm literally celebrating in my head that Kevin's off her payroll.
03:42
She's been drained by people over the years,
03:44
and I just hope she can take a moment to breathe
03:46
and maybe splurge on something for herself.
03:48
Well, she's got money.
03:50
Yeah.
03:51
I mean, it's not like she's borrowing from Peter to pay Paul.
03:55
But, you know, that's more money that she won't be paying.
03:57
No, no, it's true. It's true.
