Spears shares her two teenage sons, 16-year-old Sean Preston and 15-year-old Jayden James, with her ex-husband, Kevin Federline.

While fighting for the end of her 13-year conservatorship, Spears told the court in June 2021 that she wanted to \"get married and have a baby\" but was unable to do so under the conservatorship.

The \"Stronger\" singer alleged at the time that she had an intrauterine device, or IUD, which prevented her from getting pregnant, and claimed that those in charge of her conservatorship would not allow her to get it taken out.

\"I deserve to have a life,\" Spears said in her testimony, adding that she deserves to have the freedom to make decisions about her family.

Spears' conservatorship, which was established in 2008, was terminated in November 2021.
