Britney Spears has shared a small glimpse into how she spends her time with her 18-year-old son Jayden, and fans are thrilled.
The pop star, 42, posted a video on June 9 of her son driving a convertible through the countryside and offered an update on his life, and her healing relationship with him, in the caption.
'He is 6'3 and his hands are so big now !!! How long am I going to be in shock ??? It's so incredibly crazy, it's not even funny !!! I'm blessed !!! Just please be careful with my heart too !!!' she said.
The Toxic singer shares two children with her ex-husband Kevin Federline – Jayden and 19-year-old Sean – but has been estranged from the pair for several years.
Jayden and Sean both moved in with their father in Hawaii in 2023 and Britney has slowly been repairing her relationship with them ever since, including spending an emotional Christmas with them last year.
''I haven't seen my boys in 2 years!!! Tears of joy and literally in shock everyday… koo koo crazy so in love and blessed!!!' she praised at the time.
Fans are thrilled to see the pair still spending time together, as one Reddit user wrote: 'I hope they just genuinely get to know each other and support each other. Brit needs one real person in her corner. Would love if it were her son(s).'
And others pointed out how similar his looks to his mum.
'He looks so much like her,' AquarianFrog wrote.
'The video preview showed just his face without the hair and i thought for a second this was an old video of Britney driving,' not_your_guru added.
'This is so great for them. It's nice to see them spending time together and driving makes it even more special given that Britney has been vocal so many times about how driving gives her a sense of freedom,' Socratease95 shared.
Although some shared their concern about him using a phone as he navigated the Californian roads. More Trending
The star first reunited with Jayden in November 2024, with a source telling Page Six: 'Britney is thrilled to have her baby back,' another source. Everything is moving in the right direction.'
Up until that month, Britney had been paying Kevin $10,000 (£7,840) biweekly in the form of child support with reports of that figure reaching as high as $40,000 (£31,400) when he received full custody.
Britney – who was in a whirlwind romance with Kevin from 2004 to 2007 – had previously spoken about what it means to be a mother to People in 2017.
She said: 'There is nothing more rewarding than being a mom and watching my sons grow into young men. I am so lucky that I get to experience all of life's adventures with them.'

Sabrina Carpenter knew you'd hate her kinky album cover - that's the point
When Sabrina Carpenter revealed the cover for her upcoming album Man's Best Friend and sparked enormous backlash, she knew exactly what she was doing. The image, which depicts Carpenter on her knees, in a short black dress and heels, holding the leg of a suited man as he yanks her hair, is shocking fans who expect female empowerment from the star. On Instagram, @edersoaresx wrote, 'Lol this cover art is so disgusting. As a fan I don't like it :(.' Reddit user Potential-Friend-133 said, 'The first image is very triggering for me. I hate this. A LOT.' But the outrage might be precisely the point. Haven't we learned over and over again that Sabrina is an expert in shaping a narrative? Isn't the entire 'Sabrina-verse' built around men being little more than background noise – accessories to the real story? Why have we stopped trusting her when she's never led us astray before? Carpenter, who has spent the past year redefining pop stardom with viral hits like Espresso and the biting Please Please Please, isn't new to irony. She has emerged as a master of blending bubblegum visuals with sharp, subversive lyrics, often making herself the punchline to highlight something more profound. Even a quick glance at Carpenter's hyper-feminine aesthetic reveals just how political her whole persona is. The exaggerated lashes, the glossy lips, the babydoll dresses – it's not just pop star glam; it borders on camp. In fact, it's practically drag. And that matters because drag, at its core, is about performance of gender, of beauty, and of power. When Carpenter leans this hard into a cartoonishly femme persona, she's not just embodying traditional femininity, she's performing it to the point of parody. It becomes a kind of satire: A knowing wink at how femininity is constructed, consumed, and commodified. To view this video please enable JavaScript, and consider upgrading to a web browser that supports HTML5 video Her latest single, Manchild, already signals that she knows exactly what she's doing. She called it 'the embodiment of a loving eye roll,' a phrase that could just as easily apply to the album cover. In this light, the Man's Best Friend imagery doesn't read as an endorsement of submissiveness, but a satirical exaggeration of it. The title alone, paired with the shot of a dog tag reading 'Man's Best Friend,' is too on-the-nose to be sincere. It's a visual joke, a commentary on how women are often treated as loyal accessories in relationships, or worse, as pets. That said, the discomfort some fans feel isn't unfounded – even satire can sting, especially in the current political climate. Reddit user MuchSeaworthiness167 wrote: 'I know it's probably going to be ironic, but right now there's no context… And this year of rights being walked back, the comatose woman being forced to be an incubator, a huge increase in pregnant mortality rates, the rise of trad wife content, all of it. It's just like girl. Time and place.' But perhaps 'time and place' is precisely what Carpenter is reflecting on. We are, after all, living in a cultural moment where women's rights are being clawed back in the US, where the UK is aggressively redefining legal womanhood, where the 'trad wife' aesthetic is glamorised on TikTok, and where female autonomy is still under threat. In that sense, the image feels less like cheap shock tactics and 'sex sells' marketing, and more like a mirror – one that reflects a society that still enjoys seeing women on their knees. Is it kind of hard to look at? Yes, but then so is the grim reality of rising inceldom among young men, and so are the terrifying statistics about femicide in the UK. With this album cover, Carpenter steps beyond mainstream pop's comfort zone and into the realm of art that risks being unpalatable in order to be unignorable . She's trading likability for impact, aesthetics for meaning, and in doing so, she's sending a clear message: Being a woman – especially a visible, powerful one – is inherently political. So if she's going to make music about womanhood, she's not going to avoid the politics that come with it. She's going to lean in. And Carpenter isn't the first to use provocative imagery to make this point. Madonna spent her career turning religious and sexual imagery into social commentary. Fiona Apple's Criminal video featured her looking strung out and half-naked to critique the male gaze. More recently, Doja Cat's demonic visuals were misread as literal Satanism when they were really satirical jabs at parasocial fan culture and celebrity commodification. What Carpenter is doing may be closer to Lana Del Rey's now-infamous Norman F**ing Rockwell* era, where themes of self-destruction, co-dependency, and submission weren't endorsements but complex critiques. Lana was also called anti-feminist, until fans began unpacking how her portrayals of messy, broken femininity were actually layered and strategic, intended to make people reflect on their own relationships to these issues. More Trending And in Carpenter's case, the full context of the album (lyrics, videos, and rollout imagery) hasn't even arrived yet. And knowing her? We bet that image will make a whole lot more sense with more context. We may even get a reveal of who, exactly, is wearing the suit. If we assume Carpenter is in control (and there's little evidence to suggest otherwise: She's co-writing, co-producing, and curating this era with precision), then Man's Best Friend is not a regression: It's a political provocation. It's maybe even a trap, daring us to underestimate her. Got a story?

Victoria Beckham shares moving message from hubby David at time of family crisis
Victoria Beckham has taken to Instagram to share an adorable message from her husband David amid reports Brooklyn told his parents he 'wants no contact with them' Victoria Beckham has taken to Instagram to share an adorable message from her husband David amid a devastating time for the pair. It comes after the couple's eldest son has been locked in a bitter feud with his family allegedly over wife Nicola Peltz. David and Victoria have put on a brave face throughout the ordeal, having attended a number of events including David Beckham's lavish 50th birthday party last month. Despite the arrival of a number of A-Listers, his eldest son Brooklyn and his wife Nicola were nowhere to be seen. They also failed to acknowledge the star's big day on social media. Now, Victoria has shared an adorable message from her husband, telling her 32.9 million Instagram followers that he "really does look after me." Taking to her Instagram story on Thursday morning, the former Spice Girl, 51, posted a picture of her Victoria Beckham Beauty tumbler cup with a pink post-it note stuck on. The message, from David, read: "I Love u... Drink for energy focus + Gut xxx". The star had also drawn a heart on the note. The sweet message comes after it was reported that Brooklyn Beckham's feud with his parents had notched up a devastating gear. Reports suggest he wanted no contact with them and is allegedly ignoring their messages. Last week, it was announced that the former Manchester United player would be receiving a knighthood in the King's Birthday Honours list after years of 'being snubbed'. However, he reportedly didn't tell Brooklyn about the achievement, with him reportedly finding out through the media. Sources close to the 26-year-old told Page Six that he was thrilled his dad was finally receiving the honour. However, another source close to Brooklyn told the publication: "Brooklyn told his family he wants no contact and he's not responding to those that try to connect." Yet a separate Brooklyn source denied the claim, saying: "This seems to be another deliberate attempt to misrepresent the truth, and it only serves to distract from this honor being bestowed on Brooklyn's father." The Mirror has reached out to Brooklyn and Victoria and David's reps for comment. Last year, the couple celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary by re-wearing their iconic purple outfits, which sent fans into a frenzy in 1999. Fans have been following the couple since 1997, who have never been afraid to show their love towards one another. They can expect to see even more adorable moments from the couple in Victoria's upcoming Netflix docuseries, which will follow her day to day as the creative director of her fashion and beauty brands. Speaking on David's involvement in the series to Bloomberg, Posh Spice said: "Well, he might end up on the cutting-room floor. I mean, who knows?"

Netflix users ‘cancel subscriptions' over ‘diabolical' update
Subscribers have been left fuming over Netflix's confusing new update Netflix users have been left outraged and confused by the streaming giant's latest update to its interface. Subscribers logging onto the service this week have discovered a new version of the app which has been rolling out globally since 19th May. The streamer promises to showcase 'better recommendations and an improved interface that highlights what matters most to you' with the new revamp. It includes a 'clean and modern' new design, alongside features such as personalised recommendations and improved shortcuts to fans' favourite titles. However, a substantial number of Netflix 's 300 million-strong userbase has taken to social media to slam the update, with some even promising to cancel their subscriptions. One X (formerly Twitter) user warned other subscribers: 'Netflix has destroyed the app. Worst UI redesign ever. Everyone needs to cancel.' Someone else fumed: 'netflix's update is diabolical where the hell is the coming soon section!!' Another posted: 'Whoever's job it was to update Netflix UI, I'm praying for a resignation in the coming weeks. IT LOOKS TERRIBLE.' And a fourth user wrote: '[...] the NEW Netflix Update has somehow made the UI like 10000x worse. 'It hurts my brain when I try and search new shows etc. Am I overreacting or do others not like the new UI?' Discussion continued over on Reddit where Netflix users were equally baffled by the change. One Redditor commented: 'It's awful. My TV updated to it automatically this week after putting off the update for ages, now it's a load of rubbish. Will be cancelling [my] subscription.' And another user agreed: 'It's soo dire. You can't find anything. 'It was so slick and easy to use before. Now it's soo clunky. I'm always willing to try new ideas, but this is a big step backwards.' They then admitted: 'Thinking I might actually now cancel my subscription.' Fans have even gone so far as to launch a petition demanding Netflix returns to the old interface. The description claims: 'The new layout only allows users to see a sparse selection of 3 or 4 titles per screen, compared to the previously user-friendly layout of 20 or more titles. 'This change not only limits variety and accessibility but also diminishes the ease-of-use Netflix was renowned for.' Netflix's chief product officer Eunice Kim explained the change back in May: 'We wanted to create an experience that was more flexible for our broad entertainment offerings, more intuitive and responsive to our members' needs, and capable of elevating the most thrilling moments on Netflix.'

Plus, fans can now find more info about their favourite shows, from the synopsis and runtime to major award wins, its history in the streamer's Top 10 and the key cast. Netflix also maintains that it's still possible to search by genre and theme, and remind streamers that a welcome message should walk them through the changes when they log on.
