Britney Spears' son Jayden, 18, towers over her on Father's Day after estrangement
The 43-year-old Grammy winner was so thrilled to finally reconnect with the 18-year-old high school grad, she bought him a brand new Mercedes AMG SL 63 roadster valued at $187K.
'He is [6ft3in] and his hands are so big now!' Britney - who boasts 148.4M social media followers - gushed on June 8.
'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!'
Worryingly, Jayden never let go of his iPhone while driving the silver sportscar and glanced down at the screen at least twice during her video despite California 's hands-free driving laws.
Federline is said to be pursuing a career in music production, and her team is concerned he may be taking advantage of Spears and her industry connections.
'Everybody is wary that he is using her for financial gains and for his career,' a source exclusively told the Daily Mail last Wednesday.
'The fear is this could hurt her and be the last straw for her.'
Coincidentally, Jayden got back in touch with the semi-retired pop star last November - the same month she made her final $20K child support payment to second ex-husband Kevin Federline.
Meanwhile, Britney and the 47-year-old former back-up dancer's 19-year-old son Sean Preston Federline remains 'guarded' after her 'favorite' son Jayden confessed to the Daily Mail in 2022 that she 'struggled giving us both attention and showing us equal love.'
'We've both been through so much pressure in the past that this is our safe place now, to process all the emotional trauma we've been through to heal, heal our mental state,' Federline explained.
Spears - whose 13-year conservatorship finally ended in 2021 - divorced Kevin in 2007 after only two years of wedded bliss, and he amassed $5M in support payments during the 17 years he had primary custody of their children.
In 2022, Federline posted surreptitiously-filmed footage of the Balenciaga collaborator scolding their kids at age 11 and 12 without her consent, and he later admitted it's 'tough' for teenagers to see her posting nearly nude dance videos on Instagram.
Britney will soon release her first-ever jewelry brand, B. Tiny, featuring 'delicate, extremely different, and one-of-a-kind pieces.'
Spears is also said to be very hands on with her fully-authorized biopic for Universal Pictures, which is still in the developmental stage.

On March 23, director Jon M. Chu shut down speculation over whether Ariana Grande, Sabrina Carpenter, Millie Bobby Brown, Emma Roberts, Sydney Sweeney, Addison Rae, Florence Pugh, Tate McRae, or Olivia Holt were in contention to play the Hold Me Closer hitmaker.
'None of this is true,' the 45-year-old Wicked filmmaker tweeted.
'Sounds exciting but have not had one conversation about casting this movie yet. We are way too early in development. Sorry.'
On August 1, Universal 'paid in the low eight figures' for the rights to Britney's NY Times-bestselling 2023 memoir The Woman In Me and music catalogue in the movie from producer Marc Platt.
Simon & Schuster originally paid Spears a $12.5M advance (25% of the net profits) to pen the critically-acclaimed tell-all with three alleged ghostwriters - Ada Calhoun, Sam Lansky, and Luke Dempsey.

Hulk Hogan's divided family reveal how they plan to heal from estranged WWE icon's death at 71
The estranged family of WWE icon Hulk Hogan have revealed how they plan to heal after his tragic death. The wrestling legend died at the age of 71 last month after suffering a cardiac arrest at his home in Clearwater, Florida - with tributes quickly pouring in for the WWE icon. One of those tributes included a candid statement from his daughter Brooke, who opened up on her troubled relationship with the WWE icon in the wake of his death. By the time Hogan died, he had gone years without speaking to Brooke, 37, and, according to her partner, had 'no interest' in meeting his daughter's twins. Despite the fractured relationship, the passing of the WWE icon hit hard for Hogan's estranged family and now they have revealed how they plan to deal with his death. Brooke's husband, Steven Oleksy, told People: 'We believe family is created, and through these trying times, great people have come into our life or come back into our life, and it's brought us some great relationships and a great support system that we look at as family'. In January, the couple welcomed their twins, Oliver Andrew and Molly Gene, whom Oleksy has called 'absolute bundles of joy.' He continued: 'I'm looking forward to getting back and shifting our focus on our own family, and just taking the lessons that we've learned through these situations and just incorporating them into our own family and making sure that our son and daughter feel the love that we have for them each and every day'. In the days that followed Hogan's death, Oleksy revealed that he did in fact try to resolve their feud but that attempt was rebuffed by the WWE icon. According to People, Oleksy said: 'I sent text messages once again to kind of gauge where he was at, but there was no interest.' 'She [Brooke] was there for every surgery leading up to the last two years. She would fly down on her own dime, take care of her dad, and it just made a lot of sense. 'No one understood his body, procedures, medications and everything else more than my wife,' he said. Meanwhile, according to Us Weekly back in April, Oleksy had been 'proactively trying to foster peace for years'. The outlet claims that he had requested a 'man-to-man conversation' with Hogan but his efforts were rebuffed by the wrestling icon. The report quotes a source close to Oleksy and Brooke who claimed that the couple's 'hurt is very, very heavy'. Oleksy offered a public defense of his wife at the time, saying he wouldn't 'stand by and allow anyone to continue to hurt' Brooke. Hulk welcomed Brooke as well as son Nick, 35, with ex-wife Linda - whom he was married to from 1983 to 2009. He later tied the knot with Jennifer McDaniel in 2010 until their divorce in 2021. Two years later, the WWE legend said 'I do' to Sky Daily and the pair were married up until his death on Thursday. Brooke and her father last spoke nearly two years ago in September 2023 only weeks before he married his third wife Sky. On that call, Brooke expressed love and concern for her father - telling him that he shouldn't be working so hard due to his declining health. Despite her pleas for him to enjoy more of his life, those requests fell on deaf ears. The pair didn't speak again. Despite their fractured relationship, Brooke was recently left frustrated after being snubbed of an invite from the WWE as they paid tribute to her late father. 'For those of you giving me c*** for not attending my Dad's tributes, @WWE did not extend an invite,' she wrote on her Instagram story Wednesday. Daily Mail has contacted WWE for comment. Meanwhile, her brother Nick honored his 'best friend' and father in a heartbreaking statement as he joined the WWE's poignant tribute ahead of Monday Night Raw. He looked visibly emotional as he stood alongside WWE stars past and present for a 10-bell salute to his father. His wife Tana Lea was also seen wiping away tears after joining her husband on stage for the event in Detroit.

Brady Bunch star Susan Olsen doesn't look like this anymore as she is spotted on rare outing in LA
The Brady Bunch star Susan Olsen was seen on a rare public outing in LA recently - more than five decades after shooting to fame in the show. The 63-year-old actress - who played Cindy Brady from 1969 to 1974 - looked nearly unrecognizable when she stepped out to pick up her mail. Olsen put on a casual display in a black, graphic T-shirt with burgundy red shorts. Still sporting platinum blonde hair with bangs, she was spotted driving her white SUV. Her outing comes shortly after she revealed she almost died while filming the pilot episode for The Brady Bunch in the late 60s. She also recently opened up about the one gripe she had with playing the character of Cindy, the youngest Brady child of the bunch. Appearing on The Real Brady Bros podcast earlier this year, where she also revealed she was gravely injured while filming the pilot, she said she didn't appreciate playing a dumbed down character. Chatting with former co-stars Barry Williams and Christopher Knight, who played her TV brothers, she looked back on a scene from the pilot episode that illustrated Cindy's dense mind. In the episode, Cindy and sisters Marcia and Jan talk to their mom Carol ahead of her wedding. Carol says she feels butterflies, to which the youngest Brady replies, 'Are you sleeping with your mouth open, mommy?' 'That's just how my career was and it was something I had to accept,' Olsen said about her tendency to play dull roles. Williams, 70, weighed in: 'Do you understand that you were the cutest person in the world? You're just adorable.' The 63-year-old actress looked nearly unrecognizable when she stepped out in Los Angeles on Tuesday morning And 67-year-old Knight added that the former child star Susan had a 'doll face.' Williams also said that he and Knight were aware that Olsen was 'a little bit uncomfortable with the nature' of her character. 'You're so much smarter than the character and you're so much edgier than your character. But here it is right there. You're saying the most idiotic thing imaginable,' he observed. During the same interview, Olsen also has revealed that a grave accident could have killed her while she filmed the pilot for the iconic series in the late 1960s. She recounted being left with a swollen face after lighting equipment fell directly onto her. 'My eyes were black. I mean, I had two black eyes. My nose was swollen. My face was swollen,' the actress said on the rewatch podcast. The incident happened the day before the cast gathered to film the pilot episode in 1969. Just seven years old at the time, Olsen had been getting her makeup done when she was struck. She shared the story with former costars Barry Williams and Christopher Knight, and she noted that she wished her family had sued the studio for the accident. 'The saddest news is that we didn't sue Paramount, because I would have made more off of that than the show,' Olsen said candidly. 'But I came to work the next day. Florence [Henderson] was the first one to see me. She's like, "You make sure everybody sees her." And my mom was like, "Oh, yes, I will." Because everybody was trying to say, "It didn't really hit her. She's fine."' The actress continued, 'I looked like I was in a horror film. And then everybody knew, yes, I had gotten hurt, and I had gotten hurt very badly.'

Kelce family in mourning as Ed Kelce's partner dies
Ed Kelce, the father of Travis and Jason, has announced the death of his partner, Maureen Maguire. Kelce shared an obituary on his Facebook page on Saturday afternoon announcing that she had passed away on August 1 at the age of 74. The obituary describes Kelce as Maguire's 'beloved friend' but she has repeatedly been referred to as Ed's girlfriend amid the family's whirlwind rise to fame over the last three years. Once, according to an interview Ed gave to the LA Times, she even jokingly told Taylor Swift 'hey, that's my boyfriend' when the singer took a selfie with Travis and Jason's father at an NFL game. 'She also grew an unexpected love for football later in life, sharing many laughs and adventures with her beloved friend Ed Kelce and her loyal dog Butch,' the obituary said. 'Together, they traveled often and attended football games and concerts, and embraced every opportunity to enjoy life to the fullest.' Ed and Donna Kelce, the mother of Travis and Jason, went their separate ways after nearly 25 years of marriage but have remained friends as their sons have become two of the most famous names in the NFL. In 2023, the Super Bowl was renamed 'the Kelce Bowl' due to the brothers facing each other on opposing teams when the Travis and the Kansas City Chiefs beat Jason's Philadelphia Eagles. Later that year, the family were propeled into unprecedented levels of fame when Travis and Taylor went public with their romance. Donna was at Kansas City Chiefs traning camp on Saturday, watching Travis preparing for the new season. The Chiefs start the new season in Brazil on September 5 against the Los Angeles Chargers.
