Girlfriend / Spouse
Kevin has dated –
- Shar Jackson (2000–2004) – Kevin began dating American actress and singer Sharisse ‘Shar’ Jackson in January 2000 and the couple had parted ways by April 2004. They have 2 children together – a daughter named Kori Madison Federline (b. July 31, 2002) and a son named Kaleb Michael Jackson Federline (b. July 20, 2004). Kevin and Shar were engaged for a brief while but split just before the birth of their son because of Kevin’s growing closeness with pop singer Britney Spears. Despite this, they remained on fairly amicable terms with each other.
- Britney Spears (2004-2007) – He started dating American singer, songwriter, and dancer Britney Spears in April 2004. They announced their engagement in July 2004 and got married on September 18, 2004, in a nondenominational ceremony at a residence in Studio City, California. They filed legal papers on October 6, 2004. They have 2 sons together named Sean Preston Federline (b. September 14, 2005) and Jayden James Federline (b. September 12, 2006). Britney filed for divorce on November 7, 2006, citing irreconcilable differences and asking for the physical and legal custody of their sons, with visitation rights for Kevin. A day later, Kevin filed a legal response, seeking physical and legal custody of their sons. The couple reached a global settlement agreement in March 2007 and the divorce was finalized on July 30, 2007. On October 1, 2007, a court ruling granted Kevin sole physical custody of the 2 children, with legal custody to be decided. On January 3, 2008, police were called to Britney’s home after she refused to give up custody of her children and locked herself in a room with Jayden. She was hospitalized for appearing to be under the influence of an unknown substance and consequently, Kevin was awarded sole legal and physical custody of the 2 children. On July 26, 2008, this arrangement was legalized with Britney getting visitation rights that would increase over time. She also had to pay USD 20,000 per month in child support to Kevin as well as additional funds that would cover any custody-related legal expenses.
- Victoria Prince (2008-Present) – Kevin started dating volleyball player Victoria Prince in 2008 after getting acquainted with each other by being members of the same recreational bowling team called the Party Animals. The couple got married on August 10, 2013, at a ceremony held at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. They have 2 daughters together named Jordan Kay Federline (b. August 15, 2011) and Peyton Marie Federline (b. April 4, 2014).
