While in Paris, Britney Spears made sure her sons got a traditional French tourism experience by taking them to the Eiffel tower. I’ll bet that made the day for other visitors - they got to see a Parisian monument AND Britney at the same time!

The kids are getting such a great experience because of the arrangement that Britney has with Kevin Federline. They get to spend a ton of time with each of their parents, and they’re getting to see some great stuff along the way. They might be too young to really appreciate it now but when they’re older they’ll probably be able to remember at least some of it and it might encourage them to travel as well.

Although Britney Spears and Kevin Federline have not been together for some time now, he’s still Jayden James and Sean Preston’s father and is very much involved in their lives, which is a wonderful thing for everyone involved.

As such, I would like to wish a Happy Father’s Day to Kevin Federline on behalf of Britney Groupie readers. The fact that he and Britney have now managed new terms to have shared custody, plus the fact that he went on tour with her so they could both maintain time with their sons speaks volumes about how much these children mean to both of them.

I hope he has a wonderful time with his boys!

Britney Spears has worked hard on her tour but even a major pop star needs some time for fun and relaxation, especially when she’s with her two sons.

Britney was seen in Hyde Park with Sean Preston and Jayden James, enjoying a little stroll under the trees. They also enjoyed some time playing on the playground, then watched a bit of the horse guard training.

I’m so glad that Britney was able to find some down time in between all the hectic scheduling.

According to reports, Britney Spears and Kevin Federline have come to an agreement regarding shared custody, one which would allow each of them 50-50 time with the kids.

There will be a temporary agreement throughout the months of June, July, and August while Britney is on tour that will actually give her more than 50% custody, with both sides having submitted requests for the days the Federline boys would be with each parent.

Once Britney’s tour is over, the 50-50 custody agreement will go into effect.

I hope this is all accurate because while I think it was best for Sean and Jayden to be with Kevin full time when Britney was falling apart, she’s doing so much better now and they’ll likely thrive best if they can have equal time with both their parents.

This is excellent news! Britney Spears is going to be able to bring her sons to Europe when she starts the next leg of her Circus tour!

OK magazine’s exclusive tells us that Kevin Federline’s lawyer has stated that there is absolutely no problem with Jayden and Sean joining Britney in Europe and that Kevin is “more than happy to help facilitate Britney being able to see the boys on the European leg of the tour.”

I’m so glad that Kevin’s willing to work with Britney this way and is avoiding making her choose between her work and her babies. It seems to have worked out really well so far with Jayden and Sean hanging out with their mom on the North American tour, and I’ve loved reading her Twitter updates whenever she’s mentioned that she’s been spending time with her little guys.

The new issue of OK goes on sale on Thursday this week and inside they detail all the precise living arrangements that have allowed Jayden and Sean to keep to their usual schedules and routines without having to sacrifice their time with Britney.

It’s nice to know that Kevin Federline isn’t such a bad guy despite what the tabloids said!

Britney Spears may be really busy with her tour now that it’s under way but that doesn’t mean she’s too busy for her sons! She spaced her concerts out well enough to make time for the important things - and people - in life too.

Britney took Jayden and Sean to Disney World Orlando before heading out to her Miami show, making sure that if her boys were following her tour that they got to have plenty of fun while they were at it. They enjoyed some special time together at Fantasyland over the weekend.

Not only did Britney make time for her own kids, she also set aside enough time to hang out with 40 kids at the Miami Children’s Hospital. The visit was a surprise to the sick children and Brit also made a large donation to the hospital’s Apple Circus Clown Care Program, an organization that provides medically trained clowns to visit with the kids.

If you’ve purchased tickets for one of the upcoming Britney Spears concerts, you may end up having to get a refund. At the moment there are apparent legal complications that may lead Britney to flat-out cancel the tour - every single show. The issue? Her two sons, Jayden and Sean.

According to TMZ, Britney Spears and Kevin Federline, along with Brit’s father, Jamie Spears, made an agreement that Jayden James and Sean Preston would accompany her on her tour. They wouldn’t be coming to all her shows, of course, but they would remain in one of three central locations which would allow Britney to travel quickly back and forth between shows and her boys. The three temporary homes would be located in New Jersey, Los Angeles, and New Orleans.

On top of that, TMZ reports:

And here’s a fun fact. We’ve learned Britney will pay Kevin in excess of $4,000 a week for each week she’s on tour. The way the deal goes… Brit would get K-Fed his own pad in each of the three bases and he wouldn’t even have to show up to get the money!

Here is the part that I don’t understand - this all comes across as very reasonable. The boys will still see their mother and father as frequently as they do now and they would be in homes, not traveling the country in a tour bus. They don’t lose their mom for weeks or months at a time. And both parents came to a solid and comfortable agreement.

Yet the lawyers who represent Kevin are flipping out over the work that was done behind their backs and are against the entire arrangement. Not only are they trying to prevent the deal, they’re hinting at a custody upheaval. TMZ says:

By the way, Britney now has close to 50/50 custody and the trio has also worked out a long-term agreement, which would extend the arrangement. That too, could be compromised.

Perhaps I’m not legally aware enough, but I don’t get it. Kevin hired the lawyers to work for him, not the other way around. If this is what he wants and it works out well for everyone, then why do they get a say in this at all?

In the meantime, keep your fingers crossed that this will all work itself out because one thing is certain - Britney Spears sounds determined to cancel the entire tour if her boys can’t join her. As a fan, I think it would be disappointing. As a mother, I don’t blame her one bit.

What’s your take on all this legal mumbo-jumbo?

Divorce can really tear a family apart, but it is so nice to see that Britney Spears and Kevin Federline are making the effort to get along. Over the weekend, Britney invited her ex-husband over to her new home for an afternoon family barbeque.

Originally Kevin had just stopped by to pick up his sons, Sean Preston and Jayden James Federline but when he got there, Jamie Spears extended the invitation on her behalf. Kevin ended up staying there until just about 5 pm, then took the boys home with him.

I wonder if it was awkward for them at all. I think it’s really nice for the kids to see that even if their parents can’t stay together, at least they can be civil and friendly enough to hang out for an afternoon. Good for them!

Britney Spears had a whirlwind tour of Japan, but as of yesterday she is back home in the United States. Over on Twitter (follow her!), she stated, “as much as I loved Japan, I am so happy to be home with my babies.” No doubt!

You can tell in that photo of Britney picking up Sean and Jayden from preschool - I swear she’s glowing in happiness, I love it!

Keep reading below the cut for more photos of Britney Spears arriving back at LAX, looking pretty darn happy and relaxed.
