Britney Spears Proves Son Jayden Is All Grown Up in Rare Selfie
Britney Spears is feeling so lucky with Jayden by her side.
After all, the "Baby One More Time" singer shared a glimpse into her day at home with her 18-year-old son after spending the weekend together.
Alongside a short clip flipping her hair next to Jayden—whom she shares with ex Kevin Federline, along with 19-year-old son Sean—Britney wrote June 16, "Went to church today !!! Sang and praised !!!"
The mother-son duo's outing, which she also shared a snap of, comes nearly six months after they first reunited for the holidays, with her writing on Instagram in December, "I hadn't seen him in 2 and half years or maybe 3 !!! I'm in shock !!!"
After their time apart, she couldn't help but reflect on how much Jayden had grown in that time.
"He came back and he feels older and smarter than me," the 43-year-old continued. "He's a man and I cry every day of my life because of the miracle and genius he is !!! When he plays the whole earth shakes !!!"

Since celebrating the holidays with Jayden—who lives in Hawaii full-time with Sean, Kevin, his stepmom Victoria Price and younger siblings Jordan, 13, and Peyton, 10—the pair has continued spending quality time together.
Britney proved she's her youngest son's biggest fan as she gushed over his musical talents in March on Instagram, where she spotlighted his piano and rap skills. She wrote, "He's a genius and I'm in awe of him. I can't believe he's mine !!!"
But their days together aren't just spent cooped up at home. Most recently, the Grammy winner soaked in the sun as Jayden drove them in a convertible as Lenny Kravitz's "Fly Away" played.
"He is 6'3 and his hands are so big now," she reflected June 9. "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 !!!"
For Jayden, mending his relationship with his mom after her 13-year conservatorship ended in 2021 has been a priority. As he said of their relationship in a 2022 ITV documentary, "It's just going to take a lot of time and effort. I just want her to get better mentally. When she gets better, I really want to see her again."

‘Good Morning Britain' U.S. Correspondent Noel Phillips To Exit Amid Job Cuts
EXCLUSIVE: Good Morning Britain journalist Noel Phillips is expected to leave the breakfast show after more than four years amid sweeping redundancies across ITV's daytime brands. As the UK network shifts funding to streamer-friendly series, ITV announced in May that it was laying off around half of the 450 employees who work across ITV Studios-produced GMB, Lorraine, This Morning, and Loose Women. More from Deadline In Rare Joint Statement, UK Broadcasting Union & Producer Trade Body Pledge To Eliminate "Broken Turnaround" ITV Content Boss Spotlights Difficulty Dealing With "Historic" Misconduct Complaints As He Addresses 'MasterChef' Scandal ITV Profits Down 30% For First Half Of 2025 Phillips is among those expected to leave, though the consultation process remains ongoing. His anticipated exit has sparked concern internally about Good Morning Britain's on-air diversity. As part of the changes, sources raised questions about the amount of work available to freelance newsreaders Sean Fletcher and Marverine Cole, but ITV has now guaranteed that there will be presenting opportunities for them next year. Fletcher has been part of GMB's line-up since the show launched in 2014. ITV's position is that GMB is committed to on-screen diversity and that the job cuts will not result in the show becoming dominated by white presenters. The show's lead hosts include Susanna Reid and Ed Balls. Phillips joined GMB from Comcast-owned Sky News in February 2021, and he has been central to coverage of racial unrest in the U.S. and UK. The Royal Television Society award-winning journalist was close to gunfire in Minneapolis when reporting on the protests that followed the fatal shooting of Daunte Wright by police officer Kim Potter. Phillips spoke about suffering a racist attack in London in 2023, while more recently, he was hit by a rubber bullet during his reporting on the June protests in Los Angeles. ITV is closing GMB's office in the U.S. as it moves the show under the control of ITN, the independent production company that makes ITV News. From the start of next year, GMB will be produced by a dedicated team at ITV News and will be extended by 30 minutes during the weeks Lorraine is off air. GMB is expected to tap into ITV News' resources in the U.S., where journalists such as Dan Rivers are stationed. A source familiar with the changes said staff were 'pissed off' about Phillips' exit. Another person said there had been a mood change in TV amid the rise of populism, arguing that there is 'less pressure [on ITV] to be seen to be doing the right thing' on diversity. An ITV spokesperson said: 'In 2026, Good Morning Britain will continue to have the familiar line-up of presenters that we know viewers love. ITV is fully committed to our diversity, equity, and inclusion strategy, and the representation on our shows will remain a priority.' Deadline understands that Adil Ray will remain part of GMB's on-air team, despite The Daily Mail reporting that he was facing the axe. Ranvir Singh will also continue to appear on the show. Daniel Robinson was appointed as GMB's new editor earlier this month. Having served as deputy editor for seven years, he succeeds Neil Thompson, who is moving into the role of commissioning editor, breakfast news.

Woman Asked by Yoga Teacher Whether She's Pregnant, Her Response Goes Viral
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. A woman's calm yet powerful response after a yoga teacher mistakenly assumed she was pregnant has gone viral, sparking a broader discussion around body assumptions. Sarah Simpson (@sarahinyellow), 26, a professional body image coach from Cape Cod, Massachusetts, was attending a yoga class with a friend when the instructor approached them. After greeting her friend, the teacher turned to Simpson and asked, "And you, how far along in the pregnancy are you?" "I froze for a second. Then I calmly said, 'I'm not pregnant.' Her face dropped. She was mortified and immediately started apologizing and explaining herself," Simpson told Newsweek. The incident, shared on Instagram quickly resonated, drawing over 2.1 million views and thousands of comments. Simpson said she had been excited to attend the class on her friend's recommendation. She wore one of her favorite bright pink workout sets, which she described as comfortable and confidence-boosting. But the unexpected comment shook her. She stayed for the class, but spent most of it distracted, thinking not about her body, but about the assumptions placed upon it. Though she wasn't emotionally wounded—thanks to the inner work she's done—Simpson said she was still frustrated. The teacher, Simpson said, was more visibly upset than she was. She apologized repeatedly and eventually asked if she could give Simpson a hug. Simpson agreed at the time but later wished she had declined and walked out instead. She wore the same outfit again days later, refusing to let shame attach itself to something she loved. A split image showing Sarah Simpson explaining what unfolded in her yoga class.

But it reminds me why this work matters," she said. "These moments aren't just awkward—they're proof of how deeply ingrained body standards still are." Simpson has personal experience with these pressures. She said she was put on her first diet at age eight, after a family member said she was "getting too big." Bullied throughout school for her body, she turned to perfectionism, believing that if she were thin, she'd be accepted. By college, she was restricting food, over-exercising, and taking diet pills. "I hit my goal weight—and still hated myself," she said. That realization marked a turning point. She began intuitive eating, went to therapy, journaled, and began unlearning the belief that her worth was tied to her appearance. Eventually, she became a certified coach and now helps other women through similar journeys. Today, Simpson lives in a body that doesn't conform to traditional beauty standards but is healthy and cared for. She no longer weighs herself and doesn't share her weight—not out of shame, but because "it's simply not important." She hopes her experience reminds others that the problem isn't their bodies, but society's ingrained biases. "You don't need to shrink, explain, or justify your existence. Someone else's ignorance doesn't get to decide how you feel about yourself," she said. Dr. Uma Darji, a family medicine physician and mom of two, echoed the deeper harm such comments can cause with Newsweek. She said the yoga teacher's assumption, while likely unintentional, reflects a widespread belief that flat stomachs are the norm—and that any deviation must have a reason. "For most women, the midsection is a source of self-consciousness due to societal pressures, postpartum changes, or personal history," Darji explained. "Comments like these further the harmful message that our bodies are always being evaluated." Darji said such incidents discourage many people from participating in activities like group fitness classes out of fear of being judged. "This isn't about your body—it's about someone else's biases," she said. "Moments like these remind us how far we have to go." Simpson's video drew a wave of support on Instagram. Many users shared similar stories and praised her for handling the situation with grace and for using it as a teaching moment. "I'm trying to learn to say 'I accept your apology' rather than 'it's okay,' because it's actually not okay," one user commented. "We're all human and we all make mistakes, but it's not okay to assume or make comments about someone's body." Dr. Aditi Nerurkar wrote, "In awe of your self-compassion after that uncalled for comment. So many of us would've spiraled. I hope you feel SO proud." Others pointed out how widespread these assumptions are. "I worked IN A MATERNITY STORE and I knew not to ask that," one follower shared. "Some people are shopping for gifts, some are postpartum. Don't guess by people's bodies what their situation is." Asked about the apparent resurgence of "skinny culture," Simpson called it "heartbreaking, but not surprising." She believes the media and wellness industries thrive on insecurity, and that the current shift reflects fears around aging, visibility, and taking up space. "We have to unlearn the belief that we have to look a certain way to be happy or worthy," she said. "Because the truth is, we never did."
