Kevin Federline was "blindsided" when ex-wife Britney Spears filed for divorce. The 30-year-old dancer claims Britney secretly contacted a lawyer, leaving him unprepared when she asked for a permanent separation in 2006.

He said: "We were having complications. I didn't give her an ultimatum, but I was trying to work stuff out with her, and she didn't even talk to me or anything and went behind my back and filed for divorce. I was completely blindsided."

Britney Spears wants to marry again in "five years" time. The 27-year-old singer - who is divorced from second husband Kevin Federline, and had her 2005 marriage to Jason Alexander annulled after just 55 hours - is keen to wed for a third time despite her bad experiences.

She told America's Glamour magazine: "In five years I would like to be married and have a father figure for my kids, someone who is a provider and can be really stable."

Britney Spears has revealed Kevin Federline ended their marriage. The "Womanizer" singer filed for divorce in 2006, but has now confessed it was actually the aspiring rapper who called time on their relationship.

She admitted: "I didn't think my husband was gonna leave me."

Britney Spears feels "like an old person." The 26-year-old singer - who has two sons with ex-husband Kevin Federline - is finding it difficult to come to terms with her new life, which she has got back on track following her public breakdown earlier this year.

Britney - who previously revealed her life is like "Groundhog Day" because every day is the same - said: "I feel like an old person now. I do! I go to bed at, like, 9:30 every night, and I don't go out or anything."

Britney Spears says marrying Kevin Federline was a mistake. The 26-year-old singer - who has two sons, three-year-old Sean Preston and two-year-old Jayden James, with Kevin - wishes she had never walked down the aisle with the former back up dancer.

In a promo for her new TV documentary "Britney: For the Record," Britney said: "I think I married for the wrong reasons. Instead of following my heart and doing what made me really happy, I just did it for the sake of the idea of everything."

Britney Spears says her life is like being in prison. The "Womanizer" singer suffered a public breakdown earlier this year resulting in her father Jamie becoming co-conservator of her estate, but has recently wowed fans with her sleek new image after getting her personal life back on track.

However, the 26-year-old singer has revealed she is still desperately unhappy and feels having her life controlled by others means every day is "like Groundhog day."
