Britney Spears apologetically wished her sons a happy birthday
The 40-year-old singer did so on social media, and it's not yet clear if she was able to talk to the boys in person.
Despite her complicated relationship, Britney Spears remembers her sons' birthdays. Her firstborn, Sean Preston, turned 17 on September 14, while youngest Jayden James celebrated his 16th birthday two days earlier on September 12.
The day before the singer posted a message to the kids on her social media, "Happy Birthday Preston and Jaden! Love you both so much!!!". She attached a couple of pics with the boys to the post and explained to her followers that "these photos were taken last year!!!".
It remains mystery whether Britney was able to talk to her sons in person on their big days. She recently lashed out at them over Jaden's interview with 60 Minutes Australia. The youngest of the boys discussed his mother's behavior on social media and revealed that he and his brother had decided not to date her yet, and stood up for Jamie Spears' grandfather. According to Jaden, he took custody of Britney all these years based on her own interests.
For her part, Britney said she doesn't intend to see her sons either until she feels her "worth." "All I know better than anything is love for my children. And I'm sorry if I hurt you guys in any way," Spears added in conclusion.
