Kevin Federline has claimed in his new memoir that his ex-wife Britney Spears would stand over their sleeping sons with a knife in her hand, leaving them terrified

Britney Spears’ former husband, Kevin Federline, has alleged the singer used to stand over their sleeping sons while holding a knife. Kevin – who divorced the Toxic singer in 2007 following three years of marriage – has claimed that on multiple occasions their sons Sean Preston, 20, and 19-year-old Jayden James would wake up to discover their mum watching them.

He said she would then leave the room without any explanation. In an extract from his memoir You Thought You Knew, Kevin penned: “They would awaken sometimes at night to find her standing silently in the doorway, watching them sleep – ‘Oh, you’re awake?’ – with a knife in her hand.

“Then she’d turn around and pad off without explanation.”

In another section of the book shared with the New York Times, Kevin discussed his worry that “something bad” could happen to his troubled ex-wife.

He penned: “The truth is, this situation with Britney feels like it’s racing toward something irreversible.

“It’s become impossible to pretend everything’s OK. From where I sit, the clock is ticking, and we’re getting close to the 11th hour. Something bad is going to happen if things don’t change, and my biggest fear is that our sons will be left holding the pieces.”

Kevin continued by voicing his worry that the Free Britney campaign – which fought to end his former spouse’s conservatorship – might have “started from a good place” but has now left experts who could assist the Gimme More star too frightened to intervene.

He penned: “All those people who put so much effort into that should now put the same energy into the ‘Save Britney’ movement. Because this is no longer about freedom. It’s about survival.”

Whilst Kevin doesn’t know the perfect “solution”, he appealed for anyone “who has ever been moved by Britney” to stand by his children and their mother.

He penned: “Now, more than ever, they need your support. I’ve been their buffer for years, but now it’s bigger than me. It’s time to sound the alarm.”

The 47-year-old dancer is eager for his sons to have an “incredible relationship” with their mother. He told the New York Times: “I’ve never, ever, once, been against Britney.

“I’ve only tried to help my sons have an incredible relationship with their mother. And it’s hard because when I really reflect on everything that’s happened – my kids do not know the woman that I married. And I’ve spent two decades trying to bridge that gap.”

A representative for Britney told us: “With news from Kevin’s book breaking, once again he and others are profiting off her and sadly it comes after child support has ended with Kevin. All she cares about are her kids, Sean Preston and Jayden James and their well-being during this sensationalism. She detailed her journey in her memoir [The Woman In Me].”
