Britney Spears under fire for sharing clip of her son Jayden driving dangerously
Britney Spears has been criticized for sharing a clip of her son Jayden Federline using his phone while driving.
The singer, 43, uploaded a video of her youngest child, 18, behind the wheel of a convertible, with the two of them enjoying some mother-and-son time together.
Britney filmed from the passenger seat, panning the camera to show Jayden driving - but many viewers were left outraged that the teen was holding his phone and looking down to check it while driving.
Captioning the clip Britney gushed: 'He is 6ft 3in and his hands are so big now!
'How long am I going to be in shock? It's so incredibly crazy, it's not even funny! I'm blessed! Just please be careful with my heart too!'
Eagle-eyed social media users were furious to see that Jayden appeared to be pre-occupied while driving and called out both mother and son for being 'distracted.'
Taking to Reddit, one social media user said: 'These are screenshots from the video as he's driving down the road with Britney in the passenger seat…
'Britney, once again, needs a "mother of the year" award for being so stupid as to let her son do this AND post the evidence for the world to see.'
'Not good Brit,' another replied. 'Not good. No one had eyes on the road.'
A third pointed out: 'The touching his hair while he's driving is also dangerous.'
It is unclear which state Britney and Jayden were traveling in but in California, where she lives, it's illegal to hold a cell phone while driving, except for emergencies.
Drivers 18 and older can use hands-free devices such as Bluetooth or speakerphone but cannot cover both ears.
Britney shares sons Sean Preston, 19, and Jayden James with her ex-husband Kevin Federline, 47, whom she was married to from 2004 to 2007.
The singer reunited with both her children last November after almost three years apart.
Over Christmas, Britney called Jayden her 'twin' as she proudly shared snaps of him on Instagram.
Alongside a trio of images showing off her youngest son, Britney said: 'Mine forever!
'It's weird we're like twins but he's a boy and I'm a girl! He's mine I hadn't seen him in two-and-a-half years or maybe three. I'm in shock!'
She continued: 'He came back and he feels older and smarter than me! He's a man and I cry everyday of my life because of the miracle and genius he is! When he plays the whole earth shakes!'
The images featured Jayden on what looked like a hike, wearing a red T-shirt and oversized blue jeans.
A month before, in November 2024, a source revealed to Page Six that Britney had reunited with Jayden after years of estrangement.
At the time, the insider shared that they had been 'spending a lot of time together.'
However, Sean Preston was still in Hawaii at the time of the reunion.
'Britney is thrilled to have her baby back. Everything is moving in the right direction,' the source stated.
Jayden reportedly reached out to his mother and an insider also told Us Weekly that he 'is spending time back in California but does not live with Britney.'

MCoBeauty founder Shelley Sullivan reveals the truth behind $1billion beauty brand deal - and how much she profited from the sale
Shelley Sullivan, the woman behind Australia's fastest-growing beauty label MCoBeauty, has spoken candidly about what it meant to sell her business earlier this year. The entrepreneur, whose budget-friendly beauty empire has become a cult favourite among Aussie celebrities, confirmed that while the business was valued at $1billion, the real takeaway for her and her team was far from what the public might assume. 'I wish,' she told Stellar Magazine on Sunday when asked whether she personally pocketed that amount. 'The business could be valued at $1 billion but that's not necessarily a reflection on what the people that are exiting get.' Shelley explained that MCoBeauty's lofty valuation was based on its performance and earning potential rather than a direct windfall for herself. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. She emphasised that factors like the brand's rapid growth, earnings trajectory and overall market trends contributed to the billion-dollar figure, not a simple sale price. Despite stepping back from day-to-day operations, the beauty boss hasn't completely walked away. She remains an avid supporter, watching from the sidelines with pride as the brand continues to thrive under new leadership. 'I'm still very much a fan of the brand,' she said. 'Running a business that grew so quickly was a lot… exhilarating and exciting, but at times exhausting.' Shelley admitted that she's now enjoying a well-earned break after years of hustle. The journey to the top wasn't without sacrifices - long hours, relentless pressure and the weight of expectations were all part of the grind. Driven by a clear goal to dominate the beauty market with affordable on-trend products, Shelley and her team worked tirelessly to turn MCoBeauty into the powerhouse it is today. The business' explosive growth made it a major player on supermarket shelves and in the competitive beauty landscape, rivalling premium brands at a fraction of the cost. She credits the brand's success to a razor-sharp focus on innovation and consumer demand, paired with savvy partnerships and bold marketing. But even with the monumental valuation and market domination, Shelley remains grounded and spends time focusing on family and slowing down than big-dollar headlines. Reflecting on her business journey, she concluded: 'We had a vision to create Australia's fastest-growing beauty brand. 'But I don't think myself, the family and the team ever thought beyond our wildest dreams that that's what we would create.'

Rob Gronkowski's Sports Illustrated model girlfriend Camille Kostek reveals nasty side of being a NFL WAG
Rob Gronkowski 's model partner Camille Kostek has revealed the negative side of being an NFL girlfriend. The Sports Illustrated swimsuit model, 33, has known the former Patriots star since 2013, with the tight end retiring (for a second time) three years ago. But Kostek recently revealed that she was judged by the wives of other NFL players for not being married to Gronkowski. 'I felt like I was seen as a lesser-than girlfriend because I didn't have a ring on my finger,' she said on Kristin Cavallari's 'Honestly Cavallari: The Headline Tour,' per US Weekly. 'But you want to know what's so interesting about that? The woman that's coming to mind [who] judged me the most, she's divorced.' Kostek and Gronkowski, who met each other when she was a cheerleader for the Patriots, did break up in 2017 before eventually getting back together. However, Kostek explained that she used her time apart from the future Hall of Famer to pursue her passions - namely becoming a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model. 'In that year, I decided to audition for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, which was on my bucket list. I cared about pursuing the things that brought me joy,' she said. 'There were so many things I was destined to want to do, and then I happened to date an athlete, and it was like, 'You are a WAG.' Kostek first modeled for SI Swimsuit in 2018, covered the magazine the following year and has been photographed for the brand every year since her debut. She was even named a 'Legend' of the brand last year. Last month, she walked the runway for SI Swimsuit in a show that included Livvy Dunne, soccer player Midge Purce and more. While Gronkowski and Kostek do not have a child together, they do share a dog named Ralphie, who the four-time Super Bowl champion mentioned when he wished his girlfriend a happy birthday back in February. 'Happy Birthday to my Dancing Queen @camillekostek !! From your incredible kindness to your infectious energy, you light up every room you walk into babe!!,' he wrote on Instagram. 'You deserve the best, not just today but always. Love you to the moon and back! And the best Momma anyone could ask for to our loving boy @ralphiegronkowski !!' Gronkowski, 36, established himself as one of the best tight ends in NFL history over an 11-year career. The University of Arizona became a favorite target of Tom Brady during their time together in New England, catching 17 touchdown passes in 2011 and winning three Super Bowls under then-Patriots coach Bill Belichick.
