It was high time that Britney Spears told her story, and she has done so with her new memoir, ‘The Woman In Me’. One of the most celebrated pop icons had the most publicly humiliating life, which led to a 13-year conservatorship imposed on her by her father. Before the conservatorship, Britney was married to Kevin Federline, and the two had two kids. However, her erratic behavior took away the privilege of custody from her.
In ‘The Woman In Me’, Britney Spears has recollected several accounts of her past relationships. Be it Justin Timberlake, Jason Alexander, or a brief affair with Colin Farrell, but while talking about her marriage and relationship with Kevin Federline, Britney revealed a shocking detail. While the ex-couple was dating, Kevin hid that his ex-fiancée, Shar Jackson, was pregnant with their second child.

In the memoir, Britney Spears claimed that she had no clue that Kevin Federline had a baby with Shar Jackson and that she was eight months pregnant with another baby. Britney said, “I was clueless. I was living in a bubble, and I didn’t give a lot of good, close friends to confide in and get advice from.”
Britney Spears was kept in the dark until someone asked her, “You know he has a new baby, right?” After confronting him by asking, “You have kids? You have children? Not only one but two children?” Kevin told her about Kori Madison Federline and Kaleb Michael Jackson Federline.
