“I met her at a club in Hollywood, Joseph’s. Our eyes met and that was it. We just hit it off right away. I was madly in love with her. Everything just seemed so right. I didn’t see it as too fast or too slow.”

In the first half of 2004, Spears married her childhood friend Jason Alexander. However, their marriage was annulled within 55 hours of their union. Hence, this time, Spears decided that her marriage with Federline should be an intimate ceremony, avoiding any overwhelming attention.

Having settled into a Malibu home, the duo welcomed their first child Sean Preston in 2005, followed by their second son Jayden James in 2006. However, after a few weeks of their second son’s arrival, news of the couple facing challenges began surfacing.
