Britney Spears' Youngest Son Jayden Looks All Grown Up in Rare Selfie With His Mom
Britney Spears has been spending time with her youngest son, Jayden. In an Instagram photo posted by the singer on Sunday (June 15), she and the 18-year-old pose together in front of a mirror. Jayden — who holds the phone as his famous mom models a summery pink dress — towers over the pop star. More from Billboard Britney Spears Speaks Out After Lighting Cigarette Mid-Flight on Airplane Don Was Remembers Brian Wilson's 'Mystical' Genius: 'He Explored Creative Territory Where No Musicians Had Gone Before' How LadyLand, the Scrappy Festival That Could, Is Shaping Queer Culture & Live Music In NYC Spears also shared a quick video that the pair snapped in the same spot, showing Jayden smiling and shaking his head as the performer flips her hair. 'Went to church today !!! Sang and praised !!!' she wrote in the caption. The icon shares Jayden, as well as 19-year-old son Sean Preston, with ex-husband Kevin Federline. The former couple wed in 2004 and finalized their divorce almost three years later in 2007; in 2023, their sons moved to Hawaii with Federline, who received custody of them after his split from Spears. The pop star's latest posts with Jayden come after she and her youngest child reunited toward the end of 2024, with Spears sharing videos with him on Christmas Day and writing on Instagram, 'Best Christmas of my life !!! 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'd added at the time. 'I'm speechless thank you Jesus !!!' Since then, Spears has shared a few more peeks into her bond with Jayden on social media, including a sweet moment in March in which he played piano for his mom, as captured in videos posted to Instagram. Earlier in June, Spears shared a clip of her second born driving her around in a convertible, writing: '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 !!!' See Spears' posts with Jayden below.

Britney Spears Did Not Actually Adopt a ‘Beautiful Baby Girl,' Despite Her Claims
Britney Spears did not adopt a child, contrary to what the pop superstar recently said on Instagram. In a post shared to her Instagram on Saturday (July 12), Spears claimed that she had 'adopted a beautiful baby girl.'

(Period)' Rauw Alejandro Gains Big: 'Carita Linda' Takes No. 1 Spot on Latin Airplay Chart 'Her name is Lennon London Spears,' the singer added at the time, captioning a video of herself dancing in a pink leotard and wide-brimmed hat. 'Lennon today has on adorable dress !!! It says I'm NEW HERE !!!' Billboard, however, has since confirmed that Spears did not actually welcome a new child through adoption. She may have just been trolling fans all along, having peppered her caption with winky-face emojis. The musician is already a mother to two boys, sharing 20-year-old Sean and 18-year-old Jayden with ex-husband Kevin Federline. Her post comes a couple weeks after she shared a mirror selfie with Jayden, who looked all grown up while towering over his famous mother. Though Spears and her kids had for years been largely separated from each other following Federline's move with the boys to Hawaii, she and her youngest have been spending more time together ever since reuniting last Christmas. 'He is 6'3 and his hands are so big now !!!' Spears wrote of Jayden on Instagram in June. '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 !!!' And while Spears' claim that she'd become an adoptive mother was surprising, it's not the first time she's said something on social media that turned out to be untrue. Last December, she told followers that she was moving to Mexico to escape 'cruel' paparazzi and even said that she was in the process of 'house hunting' there; however, The Hollywood Reporter later confirmed that she wasn't actually leaving her home in the United States. Months later, it looks like Spears might again be trolling fans about moving. In her post about adopting 'Lennon,' the performer also claimed, 'I've decided to move to Italy' — a statement she also punctuated with a few winky-face emojis.

Bunnie XO Shares She & Jelly Roll Had a ‘Huge Win' in Their IVF Journey: ‘Praise Jesus'
Bunnie XO just had a breakthrough on her fertility journey with Jelly Roll. In a raw video posted to her Instagram on Monday (June 16), the podcaster tears up while hiding her face in her hands as she talks inaudibly on the phone, seemingly having just received a piece of good news. 'When you just got the call you've been waiting on for 5 months since this ivf journey started,' she wrote. More from Billboard Bunnie XO Addresses Haters Calling Her Love for Jelly Roll 'Fake' After Brief Red Carpet Kiss Young Singer Wins Over 'AGT' Judges With Ed Sheeran Cover Ozzy Osbourne's DNA Will Be Sold in Limited Edition Liquid Death Cans 'All the tears, the hopelessness & the struggle, God finally said, 'Here,'' Bunnie continued, adding in her caption: 'Praise Jesus.' The social media star and country singer have been trying to conceive through IVF for months. In the comments of her post, Bunnie clarified that she's not pregnant yet — 'We won't announce that,' she asserted — but they are one big step closer to growing their family. 'This is just a huge win for us,' Bunnie noted. The Dumb Blonde host has been open about her experience with IVF, documenting the ups and downs on social media. In March, she got real on her podcast about how 'lonely' the process can be, sharing, 'It's just you and these hormones and the waiting and the egg retrieval … It's a lot to bear.' Bunnie also recently clapped back at a troll who implied that she is too old to be trying for a baby. The same commenter also wrote that Jelly Roll — who has been open about his weight-loss journey over the past year — is 'so unhealthy looking.' 'Yes, I have decided at the ripe age of 45 that I would love to hear the pitter-patter of little feet with the man that I've been with for almost a decade,' said Bunnie, who is a stepmom to Jelly's two kids from past relationships, 17-year-old Bailee Ann and 7-year-old Noah. 'Not only am I financially in a great place to raise a child, but I'm also spiritually and mentally in a great place because I have been in the darkest places before and I drug myself out from the depths of hell,' she added at the time in a video on her Instagram Story. 'Did you know that I was pregnant three times before we decided to do this IVF? I am so thankful that God did not let me have a baby when I was 20 years old because that poor child would have been through so much s–t with me. This is the perfect age.'

DJ Akademiks Denies Taking Payola From Drake During Kendrick Battle
DJ Akademiks denied taking payola from Drake in exchange for favorable opinions on his media platforms. During a recent livestream, the popular rap media personality said he had a conversation with pgLang co-founder Dave Free when he attended a Grand National Tour stop about the integrity of his coverage during the Drake and Kendrick Lamar battle. More from Billboard Jewish Groups Withdraw From 2025 San Diego Pride Festival Over Kehlani's Support For Palestine Elizabeth Hurley Gushes About Being 'In Love' in Birthday Suit Picture Amid Billy Ray Cyrus Romance Jin Says He'd Love to Collab With Bruno Mars in Puppy Interview 'Dave Free had a moment — he asked me — he said, 'Ak, what are you getting from this?' He says, 'Is he paying you,'' Akademiks said, allegedly that Free asked him about taking money from the Toronto rapper. 'And that was the most insulting thing — and I've had conversations with these men for a while — but the very idea that I was like a purchasable commodity was so disgusting,' he revealed. Ak then went on to say that he told Free that he was already popular before the beef reached a boiling point last spring. 'I reminded him,' he began. 'I said, 'You know I've been doing this for over 10 years. I've been doing this for over 15 years. How did you think I became me?' I said, 'You knew about me before this sh—t… Did you think I was a cheap h— that just could be bought?'' He added, 'That was the most insulting thing I could have heard. Because his idea was, 'Well if you're not getting paid by this guy, if Drake ain't paying you, why do you lean that much in that direction?' The people who I've defended the most I've never gotten paid from.' He did admit that his favorable coverage has benefited certain artists he likes, but reiterated that he doesn't take money, saying, 'Now, has my platform benefited them? Yeah, of course. But, again, we don't do pay-for-play. You can't buy my opinion. I've always said, 'The moment you could buy my opinion, I don't matter.'' Ak continued by also admitting that he was biased during the back-and-forth because Drake is his favorite rapper and because Kendrick's team cut off communication with him. 'Throughout the battle, we probably definitely came off very biased,' he said. 'Not only because I like Drake and he's my favorite rapper… but you guys lost communications with us at that time because if you chose not to involve yourself in clarifying the narrative, the narrative gets written without you. It always happens like that. I'm in the media, I know how it goes.' Billboard reached out to reps for pgLang for additional comment. You can watch the full stream here.

Macklemore's Seattle Home Burglarized By Intruders Who Bear-Sprayed Nanny: Report
Macklemore's Seattle home was the target of a robbery early Saturday (June 7). According to The Seattle Times, the pair of burglars stole thousands of dollars worth of jewelry, shoes and designer watches after bear-spraying a nanny inside the Capitol Hill residence. Macklemore's three children were sleeping inside the property while it was being ransacked, but they were left unharmed. The nanny reportedly bit one of the burglars and escaped before going door-to-door in the neighborhood looking to be let in to call 911.

One of the burglars allegedly helped clean her eyes of the mace while the other demanded they be brought to the location of the 'jewels.' A police report acquired by The Seattle Times stated that the nanny was then thrown to the ground and had her phone stolen. She claimed not to see any weapons on the burglars, who had their identities hidden behind face masks, gloves and tactical vests. Authorities arrived at the scene after the burglars fled and safely brought Macklemore's kids to the care of another family member. The rapper was performing in Ireland at the time of the burglary over the weekend. Billboard has reached out to representatives for Macklemore and the Seattle Police Department for comment. On the music front, Macklemore released his politically-charged single 'F—d Up' in February, which saw him stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine. All proceeds from the single were donated to the non-profit UNRWA USA.
