Britney Spears’ Sons Helped Get Their Mom into Rehab (Report)

Britney Spears is currently in rehab following a DUI arrest last month.

Now, a source tells People magazine that her sons Sean Preston, 20, and Jayden James, 19, encouraged her to seek treatment.

The insider claimed, "Her sons were a big part of getting her to rehab. They've been clear with her. They just want her to be healthy.”

The source said Britney was “upset and shaken after her arrest” and “terrified of going to jail.”

"It's taken weeks for her to realize that going to rehab is the best option,” the insider added.

"Her team has pushed for treatment since her arrest," the source went on. "People around her do care a lot and are constantly trying to support her, but it can be difficult. There have been a lot of concerns since the arrest.”

Spears, 44, was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol in Ventura, California, on March 4.

At that time, upon her release, her rep called the situation both "unfortunate" and "completely inexcusable.”

"Britney is going to take the right steps and comply with the law and hopefully this can be the first step in long overdue change that needs to occur in Britney’s life," the rep went on. "Hopefully, she can get the help and support she needs during this difficult time. Her boys are going to be spending time with her. Her loved ones are going to come up with an overdue needed plan to set her up for success for well-being."

Spears enters rehab about six months after her ex-husband Kevin Federline expressed concern for Spears in his memoir "You Thought You Knew." In the book, he wrote, "Something bad is going to happen if things don’t change, and my biggest fear is that our sons will be left holding the pieces.”

Britney's time in rehab is a new chapter for her and is very different from past efforts to address her physical and mental well-being.

She was placed under two separate psychiatric holds nearly 20 years ago at the behest of social workers and others. She documented those holds in her best-selling 2023 memoir "The Woman in Me," in which she admitted her mental health was suffering due to her fear that she might have her kids removed from her care.

She was also, of course, famously controlled under an 11-year conservatorship, which — following an international "Free Britney" campaign — was ended by a judge five years ago.
