Britney Spears with son JaydenBritney Spears has reportedly told friends that she would be willing to quit the limelight to look after her sons Sean and Jayden - but she also wants to have a successful comeback so they can be proud of her.

Before last week’s stand-off at her Beverly Hills home, Britney posed for a photo shoot with the boys for OK magazine and photographer Dani Brubaker revealed: “She was very loving. She told me she loved her children and that they are her life.”

A source close to the star added: “Those boys are her everything, and she’s said repeatedly that life isn’t worth living if she can’t have her babies with her.”

“Britney has always said, ‘I would die for my boys if that’s what it took to prove I loved them. I’d do anything for them.’”

“The only reason she’s [still trying to launch a comeback] is because she wants them to look up to her onstage and be like, ‘That’s my mama’ and be proud of her. She’d put her life before them and die for Jayden and Preston. They’re her whole world.”

Britney is temporarily barred from seeing the two boys after her hospitalisation on Thursday night but Kevin Federline’s lawyer Mark Vincent Kaplan told People magazine that they are not looking to make it a permanent arrangement when the order is reassessed next Monday (14th).

Kaplan explained: “Kevin doesn’t want to keep his kids from being involved in [Britney’s] life. But foremost is that the kids be in an environment of structure [and] stability. The next goal is to get things to a point where both parents are able to participate fully in their [children’s] lives.”
