The Tabloids Scream - Baby No. 2 - Divorce?

However, almost immediately following their joyous birth announcement, rumors began to surface that the couple's strained relationship had led to a trial separation.

Sources point to the stress brought about by the almost $1 million dollars of Spears' money that her husband has spent on outfitting his failed music career. (See kevinfederline.com).

In related reports, DivorceKevin.com has also sprung up to bill itself as "the home of the anti-Kevin movement", and has established a competition to guess the correct date of a formal split (see below).

Meanwhile, the tabloids have also questioned Spear's fitness as a mother after she was photographed behind the wheel of a black SUV with infant son Sean Preston in her lap.

Over the past year, the pop star has been the subject of headlines once again - regarding pregnancy No. 2.

The baby, at first rumored to be be a girl and to be named Jailynn, was later reported as a baby boy born Tuesday, September 12, 2006.

Over the past summer, a six-month pregnant Britney Spears appeared on the cover of the August issue of Harper's Bazaar magazine.

Most recently, rumors of the Spears-Federline split were finally confirmed when Spears filed divorce papers on November 7, 2006 in Los Angeles County Superior Court citing “irreconcilable differences."

The 24-year-old singer is seeking custody of the couple’s two children, Sean Preston, 1, and newborn Jayden James.
