Britney Spears has broken her social media silence following her DUI arrest last month, sharing a playful video with her younger son Jayden Federline, her first post since the 4 March incident.

The 44-year-old uploaded the clip to Instagram on 27 March, showing the pair larking around together in front of a mirror, taking turns holding a red phone to snap pictures. 

Britney was clearly in good spirits, tossing her hair and smiling throughout. At one point she danced playfully around Jayden before quickly catching herself. 

“Naughty little sister and a mama too!” she said while leaping around him. “Composure, I’m being very composed.” 

Jayden, 19, had his own moment in the video when he put on a Fedora hat and channelled his inner Michael Jackson, saying: “I wish I could be like Michael.”

Britney also changed outfits during the clip, swapping her initial all-white look, low-rise white shorts and a cropped long-sleeved top, for skinny jeans, a blazer and heels. 

She captioned the video warmly: “Thank you guys for all your support… spending time with family and friends is such a blessing!!! Stay kind!!!”

The reunion comes after her rep confirmed in early March that Britney would be spending time with her sons as she worked through the aftermath of her arrest. 

“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 statement said. 

Her rep added that her loved ones were putting together a plan to support her wellbeing going forward.

The mother-son time carries extra meaning given how difficult their relationship has been at times. 

Britney went close to three years without seeing Jayden, making the recent reconnection all the more significant to her. When he came back into her life in 2024, she was openly overwhelmed. 

“I’m in shock!!! He came back and he feels older and smarter than me!!!” she wrote at the time. “He’s a man and I cry everyday of my life because of the miracle and genius he is!!!”

Jayden, who had been living in Hawaii with his father Kevin Federline, has since moved back to Los Angeles to pursue music. 

He last appeared on Britney’s Instagram in early January, and the pair have spent the last two Christmases together. Britney also shares son Sean, 20, with Federline.

Ryan Gosling, the three-time Oscar-nominated actor has accepted an invitation to visit the set of Days of Our Lives after a heartfelt exchange with the show’s legendary star Deidre Hall that captured Hollywood’s attention this week.

It started when Gosling, appearing on the Happy Sad Confused podcast while promoting Project Hail Mary, spoke warmly about growing up watching the long-running soap and singled out Hall’s portrayal of Marlena Evans as formative viewing. 

He was particularly taken by the show’s possession storyline, and used the moment to make a broader point about how underappreciated soap actors are. 

“They do not get the love they deserve,” he said. 

“The amount they have to memorize the night before, like 10 pages of dialogue. They get one take, and it’s impossible scenarios.” 

Watching Hall move between playing an ordinary person and someone “possessed by the devil,” he added, was “an incredible acting class.”

Hall, who has played Marlena since 1976, responded with a video message thanking Gosling and inviting him to come and see the set for himself. 

“We’re just thrilled to be acknowledged and to be so well spoken of,” she said, sharing that the cast had watched Gosling’s comments together behind the scenes.

Gosling’s reply, posted to Eva Mendes and Project Hail Mary‘s Instagram accounts, left no room for ambiguity. 

“This is a very enthusiastic yes to a very cordial invitation,” he said. 

“I will be there to thank you in person… It wasn’t Marlon Brando. It wasn’t De Niro. It was you.” He also called Hall his “OG acting inspiration”, a line that, given the company it puts her in, is quite the tribute.

Project Hail Mary is currently in cinemas, with new episodes of Days of Our Lives streaming on Peacock.

AJ McLean is a friend Britney Spears can lean on during her tough time amid ongoing legal woes after her DUI arrest.

The Backstreet Boys member, 48, spoke in support of Spears during the iHeartRadio Music Awards 2026, as he revealed that they are also neighbours.

“We see each other every so often,” McLean said, adding, “live in the same neighborhood in the same area.”

The singer, who was nominated for the favourite onscreen category at the awards, noted that he “always just give[s] her a hug and check[s] on her” whenever he runs into the pop icon, in conversation with Page Six.

The Everybody hitmaker also added that he wishes “her the best,” without mentioning the arrest. When asked if he has spoken to her recently, he told the outlet that he hasn’t.

This comes after Spears was arrested in Ventura County, California earlier this month after she as caught swerving and speeding allegedly under the influence.

She was later released in the morning and her manager Cade Hudson released an official statement saying her actions were “inexcusable.”

While the Toxic songstress has not addressed the situation herself, an insider spilled that she is devastated and scared beyond measure for what the consequences would be.
