Pop star Britney Spears is preparing for a significant moment in her personal life as her youngest son, Jayden James, celebrates his 18th birthday on September 12.
While the milestone marks a celebratory occasion for Spears, insiders suggest that it signals the end of an era for her ex-husband Kevin Federline, with child support payments coming to an end as Jayden reaches adulthood.
For the last 17 years, Spears has been paying child support to Federline, the father of her two sons, Sean Preston, 18, and Jayden, 17.
According to sources close to Spears, the total sum of child support paid over the years amounts to over $5 million.
The child support payments were in place to provide financial stability for her children following the divorce from Federline in 2007.
With Jayden turning 18, the legal obligation for Spears to provide child support to Federline will officially cease.
Federline, a former backup dancer, has rarely worked as a DJ in recent years and has largely depended on the financial support from Spears to sustain his lifestyle.
Insiders revealed to DailyMail that Federline may face difficulties maintaining the standard of living he has become accustomed to over the years.
