After two years of marriage and the birth of their two children, Britney Spears has filed for divorce from her husband Kevin Federline.
In the petition filed by Spears, she states that the couple had “irreconcilable differences.” As for the children, Spears asked for full custody and of their children Sean Preston, one-year old, and Jayden James, two-months old. Federline will receive visitation rights.
Spears is not seeking spousal support from her soon-to-be ex-husband.
“That makes me so happy. If Nick [Lachey] and Jessica [Simpson] can’t make it, there’s no way Kevin and Britney could,” Marie Elena Cantrambone, a sophomore special education major, said.
“Britney can do way better,” sophomore education major Kayla Moran said.
The thing that is one everyone’s mind is what is going to happen with Spears and her money? The prenuptial agreement is ironclad according to TMZ.com.
Spears, 24, whose body has snapped back into shape since the birth of her second son, surprised the audience of the David Letterman Show on Nov. 6 to show off her “new self” prior to the announcement of the divorce.
This was a big week for Federline. Not only was this divorce filed, but his debut album, “Playing with Fire” was released. According to People Magazine, Federline was still trying to stop the rumors of problems in his marriage. “I don’t waste any energy thinking about these things. I don’t get caught up in it.”
Christina Moglioni, a junior education major, said, “There’s always something about Kevin and Britney in the papers and magazines. Its always going back and forth saying they are on and off. This is just their off week.”
The news of Spears and Federline was not the first celebrity break-up of the week. Ryan Phillippe and Reese Witherspoon announced their separation after seven years of marriage. The couple stared together in the 1997 film, “Cruel Intentions” and married shortly after.
This is Spears’ second marriage that has ended in divorce. Her first marriage was to her long-time friend, Jason Alexander. The couple was married for a total of 55 hours and had an annulment only eight months prior to her marriage to Federline.
