Who said Britney Spears was a bad mom? Not her ex-husband Kevin Federline, that's for sure. He said she's an awesome mom and he never has to worry about the boys when she's got them in her care. K'Fed opened up in a recent interview about his marriage, breakup, the kids and how he's making a stable home for his kids.
Federline spoke with PEOPLE about how his life has changed since marrying, divorcing and having kids with Britney Spears.
Kevin says of parenting with ex-wife Britney:
Britney is an awesome mom. That’s one thing I never really have to worry about. I’m strict when I have to be, playful when I have to be and sensitive when I have to be. I’ll make brownies or cookies with them. They love any kind of noodles.
Britney recently said Preston says the F word and she seemed to blame it on you. Do you use that kind of language around the boys?
Not at all. So many people are around the kids, who’s to say who taught them to say the F word? The first couple times that you hear it, you’re just in shock. I’m not okay with it. I tell him that’s a bad word and give him a time-out. He says, “I’m not bad. I’m not bad. I not say bad word.” He’s doesn’t like it when you tell him something’s bad.
How often do you and Britney talk to or see each other?
I see her when I drop the kids off. Every now and then we have conference calls to discuss scheduling. After her dad got conservatorship of her, he had me over and I sat with her for a couple hours. I let her know I care and that I wasn’t out to get her. I was making sure she’s okay.
How he felt during Britney's very public breakdown:
That whole night is a blur. You want to talk about one of my lowest points of depression, that was probably one of them. I was very, very worried for her ’cause I care about her. That’s the mother of my children. Just because I’m not in love with her doesn’t mean that I don’t love her. I’m definitely rooting for her. There’s nothing more that I want than for her to be in the best health and doing what she loves to do.
In the aftermath she was hospitalized and didn’t see the kids for seven weeks. How did you remind them of her?
I talked to the kids all the time about their mom. And I had pictures of her and us and the kids in the house. Sometimes we’ll go to bed and Preston will point to a picture and say, “Baby and Mama and Dada.” I don’t know how they came through it, but thank God they have.
Are things getting better?
Oh, man, it’s totally turning around. It works out that [the kids] get to see her. There’s structure over there, there’s structure at my house. We’re trying to keep the same type of schedule. It doesn’t have to be completely perfect, but the foundation is there.
Did Kevin want custody of his kids for financial gain (as rumored)?
My first question to [my lawyer] was, “Am I ever going to be able to see my children?” I told him that I would spend every last dime that I had to make sure that my children are okay. That’s all that mattered. I didn’t know how much power Britney had. That really scared me.
Did you feel you could provide a more stable environment than they had with their mother?
Yes. But at the same time, a reason why we ended up going through the custody battle is because I want my kids to have a mom and love her. I don’t want to do this by myself. Part of the whole thing was to get them safe and get her to where she will always be there. Because there are points in time where the whole world didn’t know whether she would be around for them.
When things started to unravel for her, what went through your mind?
It was tough. I was definitely worried. There are a lot of people who stepped up to the plate. I know my mom has helped me out a lot with this. I was glad that Britney’s parents could come over and see the kids.
Does he still care for Britney? What about the two getting back together?
It’s good for the kids to see that Daddy does care about Mommy, and Mommy does care about Daddy. Because no matter what happens, there is only going to be one mother and one father to these children.
What about a reconciliation?
I’m one to never say never. I mean, I’m not going to sit here and say I’m geared up to go that route, but who knows what the future holds. You try to do the right thing, and hopefully everything will turn out right.
