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