Spears shares Jayden and his older brother, Sean Preston, 19, with her ex-husband, Kevin Federline. The couple divorced in 2007 after three years of marriage, and have navigated various custody arrangements since.

A source close to the family revealed that Jayden reunited with his mother in Los Angeles the month prior to the Christmas reunion, spending quality time at her home. This reunion marked a significant turning point in their relationship, bringing joy and healing to Spears.
