Britney Spears has said being separated from her two sons were "the hardest years" of her life".
The popstar was estranged from her two children, 19 year old Preston and 18 year old Jayden James following her conservatorship case, which lasted until November 2021. She said that her "secret to survival" was "denial and a lot of tears".
The Toxic singer also feels her marriage to actor Sam Asghari "felt like a fake distraction to help me to deal with" the pain of being separated from her children. Spears and Asghari split up last year, after two years of marriage.
"We're just people so fragile and human", Spears wrote on Instagram. "The hardest years of my life were my two sons gone for those 3 years… I was cut off from calling or texting and I remember in shock my secret to survival was denial and a lot of tears".
"It’s weird me and Sam were married but it almost felt like a fake distraction to help me deal with it…".
Back in May, actor Ben Affleck voiced his sympathy for Britney Spears over the way in which she was targeted by paparazzi at the difficult moments in her life. Find out more on this here.
