Who can forget their whirlwind romance that led to an engagement and a surprise wedding within the same year?
The two shared some wild times with paparazzi there for most of it.
Over the years, the former lovebirds have engaged in tumultuouscustody battles.
But what exactly has their relationship been like at various points, and where do they stand today?
“Our eyes met and that was it.
We just hit it off right away,” K-Fed told People in 2008.
It was like breaking up a family."
An exclusive interview withMTV Newslater seemed to prove that she wasn’t really upset after all.
“I believe that … everything happens for a reason, the way it’s supposed to happen.
I’m cool with that, so I don’t have any bad feelings.”
However, shortly thereafter, an injury forced Spears to cancel the remainder of her shows.
While resting at home, she surprisingly proposed to her backup dancer boyfriend.
Months later, he returned the question with a proposal of his own.
“Everything just seemed so right.
I didn’t see it as too fast or too slow,” he told People.
Actually, that was really bad.
That was probably the worst thing I’ve done in my career."
And, if Spears said it’s bad, you know it’sbad.
Shortly following that interview,Entertainment Weeklyshared its thoughts on the infamously short-lived reality show.
“Some moments with your significant other should stay private,” it noted.
In fact, the guests had no knowledge of the purpose behind the meet until just before the ceremony.
In the end, the twosome largely did their wedding how they wanted.
“I just thought it would be too much if we had done it when we were supposed to.
“I want to be a young mom,” she told People in 2004.
“I can see myself as a mom.
Next year at 23, I am so there.”
It turns out that the pop star manifested her own destiny.
A year after her surprising wedding to K-Fed, Spears gave birth to her first son, Sean Preston.
Spears has spoken out about her experience with motherhood over the years.
The report also indicated that K-Fed had been spending more time away from his young family.
According to the tabloid, Spears and K-Fed already had a prenup set in place.
When it came to spousal support, Britney unsurprisingly declined while requesting each party pay their own legal fees.
As we all remember, Spears fell on dark times after her divorce.
Of the extension, her attorney said, “Britney’s doing great.
She’s very pleased [with the settlement].
The kids are with her right now.”
Two years later, K-Fed spoke to “Access Hollywood Live” of their situation.
“We have two beautiful children.
The way that everything has turned out, everybody’s happy.
Coparenting is going great.
I can’t complain” (viaUs Weekly).
And, in 2016, the exes were seenlaughing togetherat their sons' football game.
In fact, there were many times when Britney Spears and Kevin Federline weren’t even speaking.
“The wedding caught her by surprise.
K-Fed cited a significant change in the kids' needs among his reasons.
“[I’m] less in demand than I was in 2008.”
Spears had cited stress over her father’s health issues in a post to Instagram (viaUs Weekly).
During this time, the boys remained primarily in the care of their father and stepmother.
“The best thing would be for their mom to be healthy and happy,” the statement read.
Yup, that’s right.
The news came only several months after the declared end of her 13-year conservatorship.
Spears had become especially vocal abouther miscarriage.
