Britney Spears reunites with son Jayden, 18, as she celebrates ‘best Christmas ever’

Britney Spears was reunited with her youngest son, Jayden, over the Christmas holidays – and the star shared an Instagram video on Wednesday to commemorate the big moment.

The Baby One More Time singer, 43 – who recently returned from an extended holiday to Mexico for her birthday – filmed herself with the 18-year-old as they spent time together.

The star notably shares Jayden as well as Sean Preston, 19, with ex-husband Kevin Federline. Her sons moved to Hawaii last year with their father, but Spears has reportedly been ‘focused’ on mending her bond with her children.

In the clip, both Britney and Jayden could be seen standing outside what appeared to be a restaurant.

The pair stood side by side as they looked at the camera and at one point the singer planted a kiss on Jayden’s head.

The reel then cut to Spears and her son sitting at a table inside the crowded diner, keeping warm by a roaring fireplace.

Placing the camera phone on the table, Jayden offered a cheery ‘Hello’ followed by the two wishing her fans a ‘Merry Christmas’.

In the caption of the post, Britney expressed her gratitude and excitement at having the opportunity to be with her boys on vacation.

She wrote to her 42 million followers: ‘Best Christmas of my life!!! I haven’t seen my boys in 2 years!!!’

‘Tears of joy and literally in shock everyday koo koo crazy so in love and blessed!!! I’m speechless thank you Jesus!!!’

Britney and her youngest child apparently had fun on vacation, although her second son did not appear in the clip.

The reunion comes shortly after a source has informed Page six earlier this month that the Toxic hitmaker is working on ‘rebuilding’ her bond with Jayden and Sean Preston.

‘She and her sons are really focusing on rebuilding their bond,’ the insider said, adding that they are on track to be ‘super close’ again. ‘These things are a process in any family dynamic.’

Last month in November, a separate source revealed to Page six that Spears reunited with Jayden after years of estrangement.

At the time, the insider shared that ‘They’ve been spending a lot of time together.’ However, Sean Preston was still in Hawaii at the time of the reunion.

‘Britney is thrilled to have her baby back. Everything is moving in the right direction,’ said the source.

Jayden reportedly reached out to his mom, an insider shared Us Weekly that he is ‘spending time back in California but not living with Britney’.

A few months earlier in September, Britney wrote a sweet birthday tribute to her sons along with throwback photos.

The singer wrote: ‘This month is my boys birthdays!!! Happy birthday babies and I hope you get all your wishes and more!!!’

Also last month, the pop star paid her final child support to ex Kevin Federline after Jayden’s 18th birthday.

The star has also made good terms with her mother Lynne and brother Bryan Spears following their estrangement. But she has yet to repair her relationship with her father and sister, Jamie Lynn Spears.

Earlier this month, Britney spent time with her older brother as he joined her in Mexico in the middle of her relaxing vacation.

Last year in August, the pop star and her older siblings apparently put their differences aside following her split from Sam Asghari.

At the time, he had moved into her mansion to be by her side during the divorce, a source said Page six‘He’s been over and helping her with a therapist.’

Earlier this year in May, Bryan appeared on his Instagram page as the couple enjoyed a trip to Las Vegas.

She had shared various clips on social media that had captured special memories from the trip, including a visit to a luxury spa.

Just weeks earlier, the Baby One More Time singer had sparked mental health concerns at the Chateau Marmont when she was seen being escorted out of the iconic hotel by emergency services.

In June, both the singer and her brother Bryan spent time at a bar in Mexico, and a month later he moved back into her mansion.

At the time, she had separated from boyfriend and former housekeeper Paul Soliz – but this was told by a source TMZ that he had moved in simply because it made sense to stay under the same roof due to spending a lot of time together.

On December 2, Britney celebrated her 43rd birthday – and was also declared legal after her divorce from Sam Asghari was finalized seven months earlier.

She kept her followers updated during the trip by sharing various posts on Instagram – such as posing in a hot pink bikini while relaxing under the sun.

The performer deleted one of her recent dance videos that was filmed during the holidays due to people saying “mean things”.

Just days before Christmas, Spears was spotted arriving back in Los Angeles after the three-week birthday trip.

After landing at an airport, the singer was seen walking outside cradling a stuffed rabbit.
