Motherhood: Britney Spears told Marie Claire this month that the best relationship she's ever had has been with the two biggest loves in her life - her sons, Sean, 10, and Jayden, nine
She said: 'My boys don’t care if everything isn’t perfect, they don’t judge me.
'If anything, when I’m all dressed up they aren’t happy because it usually means I’m going to work.
She added: 'I’ve been through a lot and I’ve got to this point where I’m feeling good about being single. The best relationship I’ve ever had is with my boys.'
The popstar famously married her childhood friend Jason Allen Alexander at The Little White Wedding Chapel in Las Vegas, Nevada - annulling it only 55 hours later.

Upgrade your Fall outerwear with a Burberry cape coat
Fresh from her crowd pleasing performance at the MTV VMA awards, Britney Spears covered Marie Claire UK magazine and she wore a military inspired topper on the front page by Burberry.
Pulled from the Fall 2016 collection, the wool coat had a double breasted silhouette with a cape overlay and luxe gold buttons.
We're heavily influenced by the Autumn runways for out outerwear for next season. Burberry's snakeskin trenches, plaid pea coats and of course this hybrid cape/jacket has us wishing for colder weather (okay maybe not quite yet).
Get Britney's coat at Nordstrom by clicking right but be warned, it will cost you a pretty penny.
Mango, Anthropologie and Jessica Simpson all have similar styles at reasonable prices that won't leave your bank account in the red.

Britney then went onto wed her second husband Kevin Federline in 2004 and welcomed her two boys before they filed for divorce in 2006.
Having recently insisted she will never marry again, the 34-year-old, who split with Charlie Ebersol earlier this year, opened up in the issue about her dating history - insisting 'being famous' doesn't make her any different from suffering a bad date.
She admitted: 'I had a really bad date. I mean, it was bad,' she admitted. 'I’ve been single for ages and had a date with a guy I liked.
'I was getting anxious, worrying he wouldn’t like me. In the evening I got on the scales and I had lost six pounds.
She continued: 'We went to the movies, but I could tell right away it wasn’t working. It was sort of awkward. So after the movie I came home and that was it.'

'It just didn’t work. He just wasn't that into me. I liked him. He knew that. But he definitely didn’t feel the same.
She conceded: 'It happens to everybody. Being famous doesn’t make you any different.'
Despite living the majority of her life in LA, the Make Me... singer, who is originally from Louisiana, admitted she's lived by her southern manners - much to her detriment with the pressures of fame.

She revealed: 'Southern girls can be very hard on themselves because you are expected to act in a certain way, you are expected to please people.
'And then I moved to Los Angeles when I was very young.
She added: 'I was so under scrutiny. If a hair was out of place, I’d be so anxious. I would get very anxious about so many things.'
