Britney Spears Briefly Reunites With Sons

Britney Spears was reunited briefly with her sons Saturday, nearly two months after the troubled pop star last saw them.

She spent about three hours with 1-year-old Jayden James and 2-year-old Sean Preston, said Elliot Mintz, a spokesman for Spears' ex-husband Kevin Federline.

Mintz wouldn't say where the reunion took place or who else was there, but People magazine reported that Spears' psychiatrist was present for the visit.

Spears had not been allowed to see the boys since a Jan. 3 incident when she refused to return the children after a visitation. Police were called to her home and a standoff ensued that ended with Spears being taken to the hospital. She was hospitalized a second time four weeks later.

The visit came a day after Federline's attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan announced the couple "agreed to a modification of the court's order" that had stripped Spears of her visitation rights.

Mintz said Spears' father, James Spears, who came to Los Angeles earlier this month to help his daughter, played a key part in making the visit possible.

Spears' parents came to Los Angeles around the time of her second hospitalization, and have pushed to restore visitation rights to help their daughter recover.

A court commissioner gave Federline sole physical and legal custody of the former couple's two little boys and suspended the troubled pop star's visitation rights on Jan. 4.

Leading up the hospitalizations, Spears was involved in a series of bizarre public incidents. Since divorcing Federline in November 2006 she shaved her head, was seen in public without underwear, ran over a celebrity photographer's foot and attacked a vehicle with an umbrella.
