Britney Spears' relationship with her sons is exhibiting signs of improvement. Pointing out that restoring relationships requires time and work, Kevin Federline's attorney, Mark Vincent Kaplan, offered an update on the singer's relationship with Sean Preston, 18, and Jayden James, 17.

"The process of reconciliation is complicated and continual," Kaplan said. He said the lads have expressed interest in getting back in touch with their mother, and that phone talks between Britney and her sons show some development, which is considered as a positive step forward.

The boys live with their father in Hawaii right now; Britney approved of this choice last year. She has still not visited them though. According to close friends of Britney, she puts her health first and wants to rebuild her family relationships—especially with regard to her children.

This update highlights Jayden's hope for future reconciliation and reflects current feelings he expressed on mending his relationship with his mother. His sincere comments capture in their connection a need for healing and rejuvenation.
