Britney Spears gave fans a glimpse of her Christmas celebration with son Jayden.
On Friday, Jan. 3, the Grammy winner shared a behind-the-scenes look at her cozy vacation with her 18-year-old son by her side — as he opened some presents and expressed his gratitude by the tree.
Jayden — the youngest of Spears’ two sons — can be seen in the video opening the box to reveal a long-sleeved button-down shirt. “Nice, nice. Oh, that’s nice,” Spears told her son as he showed her the shirt. “Wow, that’s really nice.”
“Thank you, Mom,” Jayden replied.
Captioning the post, Spears shared a message about motherhood: “Moms deserve way more respect than they get these days!!!”
Britney Spears calls son Jayden, 18, ‘a miracle and a genius’ after they reunited for the holidays
Sources previously told PEOPLE that Jayden reunited with his mother in November at her Los Angeles home while visiting her after moving to Hawaii with his father in 2023. Spears also shares son Sean Preston, 19, with ex Kevin Federline, with whom filed for divorce in 2006 after three years of marriage.
“Spending time together made her happy,” an insider told PEOPLE in November.
On Christmas Day, the pop star wrote that she had “tears of joy” as she celebrated the holiday with her younger son, after not seeing him for “two years”.
In several different clips from the occasion posted on Spears’ Instagram, Jayden wished the camera a “Merry Christmas,” his mom kissed him on the cheek, and the pair hung out by the fireplace together.
“Best Christmas of my life !!! I haven’t seen my boys in 2 years !!! Tears of joy and literally shock every day koo koo crazy so in love and blessed,” she wrote in the description. “I am speechless, thank you Jesus!!!”
Spears’ sons moved to Hawaii with their father in 2023, which Federline’s attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan told PEOPLE Spears “agreed to” ahead of time. “Britney has always faithfully supported her children and wants them to be happy,” an insider previously told PEOPLE.
