The Celebrity Truth

With so much coverage dedicated to Britney Spears over the past few months, Kevin Federline has taken the opportunity to speak about his side of the story.

In a chat with People magazine, Federline opens up discussing whether he fought for custody of their children because of money and his reaction to his ex-wife’s personal problems earlier this year.

“That whole night is a blur,” he reveals of the night Spears locked herself in a bathroom with their son Jayden, only to be forcibly removed from her home on a gurney.  “You want to talk about one of my lowest points of depression, that was probably one of them.

“I was very, very worried for her ’cause I care about her. That’s the mother of my children. Just because I’m not in love with her doesn’t mean that I don’t love her. I’m definitely rooting for her. There’s nothing more that I want than for her to be in the best health and doing what she loves to do.”

The 30-year-old also answers questions about the custody battle with Spears and speculation he only did it for the money.

“My first question to [my lawyer] was, ‘Am I ever going to be able to see my children?’” he explains.  “I told him that I would spend every last dime that I had to make sure that my children are okay. That’s all that mattered. I didn’t know how much power Britney had. That really scared me.”
