Britney Spears and Kevin Federline's Rocky Relationship

It seems that every time Britney Spears' name makes it in the news, it's either for alleged bad parenting of Sean Preston Federline, or it's to do with her troubled marriage to rapper wannabe Kevin Federline. This time, it's the latter.

Britney Spears made headlines last week when she wrote a poem entitled "Remembrance of Who I Am", which was featured on her official website. The poem appeared to be a scathing attack at her husband, Kevin Federline. At first, the poem disappeared off the website hours after its post. Now, it's back on the website, with a picture at the bottom, showing Britney Spears giving the middle finger, preceded by the words "This is for everyone who thinks they know me…"

To add fuel to the fire about the couple's rocky marriage, the National Ledger reports that Star Magazine is about to drop another bomb. "Britney Spears is sitting down with her divorce lawyers and preparing for life without Kevin Federline, Star Magazine will report this week. The former pop star is reportedly no longer even on speaking terms with her husband and the two communicate through their body guards." The issue will reportedly say that "her marriage really fell apart on Mother's Day, her first as a mom, when Kevin chose to spend the occasion with Shar Jackson, the mother of this other two children."

None of this seems to have an impact on Kevin Federline. The Daily Mirror has reported that K-Fed has been telling his friends, "Don't worry, she ain't got the balls to leave me." As well as that, Federline apparently also told his mates, "She doesn't have the guts to leave me, she's been threatening to divorce me since the honeymoon."

Despite all the rumors, Kevin Federline was still willing to talk to the press about his family. Tonight quoted US Weekly's interview with Federline, where he said "My kids are going to have to learn what a real job is, what life is. You don't have it easy with me. Period. My kids are going to work at Taco Bell, dammit." After the family life comment, Federline went right back into his own life, saying "I wish people would ask me about my career. Usually its, 'How's the wife and kids? The day they judge me as an artist, not Britney Spears' husband, that's the day I am looking forward to."

That day might be getting closer, as the National Ledger claims that "Britney Spears was spotted out and about Wednesday in Malibu. But this time, the songstress had company -- and it wasn't Kevin Federline!" There are very few details about the man in question, reported by the press as "Henry". Only time will tell.

Britney Spears and Kevin Federline were married on September 18th, 2004. They had their first child together, Sean Preston Federline, on September 14th, 2005. On May 10th, 2006, Spears confirmed her second pregnancy (See Britney Spears in Pregnant Again) Britney Spears is the best-selling female artist of the 2000s, having sold 85 million albums.
