After her recent DUI arrest, Britney Spears’ sons are reportedly drawing boundaries with her, expecting their mom to be accountable for her actions. 20-year-old Sean Preston and 19-year-old Jayden James love their mother but allegedly do not plan to take on any role that turns them into her caretakers, therefore establishing firm emotional boundaries after years of family strain. Though the singer has her sons’ support, sources warn they will not take charge of her life.
Britney Spears’ sons ‘won’t be responsible for her’ despite loving her, per source
An insider exclusively told Rob Shuter that Britney Spears’ sons have grown wary after the artist’s DUI arrest in Ventura County, California, on Wednesday. The insider claimed that Preston and Jayden “love their mom, but they’re not going to be responsible for her. That’s simply not their role.” Police took Spears into custody on suspicion of DUI, booked her early Thursday morning, and released her a few hours later. Shuter reported that her next court date is set for May 4.
After the arrest, Spears’ representative claimed that her loved ones, including her sons, would help create a plan to support her well-being. But sources close to the family stated that the boys do not want anyone to confuse that support with taking charge of their mom’s life. The source explained, “They’ve already carried a lot growing up,” adding, “They want their mom to be healthy, but they can’t fix this for her.”
Additionally, Shuter noted that the relationship between Spears and her sons has not looked the same for both boys. While Jayden has started reconnecting with his mother after several years apart, the elder son has mostly stayed in Hawaii with their father, Kevin Federline.
Even with those differences, the insider said, “They hope she gets help.” However, they highlighted, “this is something Britney has to do for herself,” especially after her arrest. Hence, while her sons love their mother, they also want to protect their peace.
