Due to the fact that Federline got into a relationship with Spears when his ex-girlfriend Shar Jackson was pregnant with his second child, the romance between Federline and Spears received intense attention from the media.
There were accusations that Kevin Federline left Jackson when she was pregnant to get with Spears simply because he was/is a “gold digger”.
The controversy of his breakup with Jackson, the controversy of his relationship with Spears, the accusations of him being a “gold digger”, and the disparity in fame between him and Spears all made Federline both a frequent target of ridicule and an extremely disliked celebrity.
Britney Spears filed for divorce from Federline on November 7, 2006, citing irreconcilable differences and asking for both physical and legal custody of their two sons, with visitation rights for Federline.
Britney Spears and Kevin Federline reached a global settlement agreement in March 2007 and their divorce was finalized on July 30, 2007.
Kevin Federline and Britney Spears were married for three years.
