Kevin Federline, Britney Spears’ ex-husband, is opening up about his deep concerns for the pop star’s future in his new memoir, “You Thought You Knew.” The former dancer and DJ reflected on his years of co-parenting with Spears and expressed concern that ending her conservatorship in 2021 might have been a mistake.

Speaking to The New York Times, Federline revealed that he and Spears haven’t spoken in years, but his concerns have grown stronger.
“The truth is, this situation with Britney feels like it’s racing toward something irreversible,” he wrote. “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.”
Federline also revisited one of the most harrowing nights of their past, the evening Spears was placed under a 72-hour involuntary psychiatric hold at Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre.
“It was one of the hardest nights of my life,” he wrote. “I felt sick over what she was going through. This was someone I had loved. Someone I had built a life with. The mother of my children.”
In his book, Federline also addressed the “Free Britney movement,” which gained international attention as fans campaigned to end the singer’s 13-year conservatorship. While he acknowledged that the campaign “started from a good place,” he believes it has since created unintended consequences.
Federline urged those who once fought for her freedom to now rally for her safety. “All those people who put so much effort into that should now put the same energy into the ‘Save Britney’ movement,” he wrote. “Because this is no longer about freedom. It’s about survival.”
