Her parenting skills may be questioned but Britney Spears knows the truth: she would die for her children. The paparazzi-magnet and troubled star has been pictured in a different light as OK! magazine shot a casual care-free Spears with kids Sean Preston, 2, and Jayden James, 1.
"She was very loving," photographer Dani Brubaker says of the 26-year-old mother. "She told me that they are her life."
Spears has always been portrayed by the media as a neglectful parent. On Friday, the pop singer's visitation rights to her kids were suspended, thus awarding full and sole custody to ex-husband Kevin Federline. But far from the negligent parent the public sees her, Brubaker says that Spears was "very attention" to her sons' needs.
The photographer also reveals the singer's reaction when she saw the shots, "I'm told that when she saw the photographs she literally cried for over an hour and stared at them all night long."
According to a friend of the singer, "Britney has always said, 'I would die for my boys if that's what it tool to prove I loved them. I'd do anything for them.'"
That may be the reason why the friend also says that she is "inconsolable" right now as her chance of winning the custody battle for her kids is decreasing fast. "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.
"The only reason she's doing this 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."
