Britney Spears was ‘thrilled’ to spend Christmas early with her children Jayden and Sean as part of the custody agreement with ex Kevin Federline

Britney Spears marked Christmas early with her children.

Hitmaker Toxic reportedly was thrilled to have the chance to see Jayden and Sean on Monday and Tuesday this week, as they are spending the holiday season with their father.

Kevin Federline – who has primary custody of the two children – is expected to receive the children on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, reported TMZ, who take turns after Britney had children last Christmas.

Britney gave birth to Sean in September 2005 and a year later welcomed Jayden to the world.

The couple married in 2004 and their divorce was finalized three years later.

Kevin, 42, has two children with ex Shar Jackson, as well as two children with his wife Victoria Prince.

Meanwhile, Britney is currently fighting a legal battle against her father, Jamie Spears, to have him permanently removed from his guardianship.

She no longer wants him to be in control of his life, as he has been doing since his guardianship began after his public collapse in 2008.

Jamie recently stated that he has not spoken to his daughter since August and that he ‘misses her’.

He said: ‘I love my daughter and I miss her very much. When a family member needs special care and protection, families need to strive, as I have for the past 12 years or more, to safeguard, protect and continue to love Britney unconditionally.

‘I have and will continue to provide unshakable love and fierce protection against those with selfish interests and those who seek to harm her or my family.’

Jamie’s lawyer, Vivian Lee Thoreen, described her relationship with Britney as “not unlike the normal father-daughter relationship” and insists that they have “mutual love and respect”.

She explained: ‘There has always been mutual love and mutual respect. Until Britney’s court-appointed lawyer, Sam Ingham, abruptly instructed Jamie not to contact Britney a few months ago, Jamie and Britney had spoken frequently and regularly throughout the guardianship. In fact, they talked the day before and had a pleasant and collaborative conversation. ‘
