Although the relationship between the pop icon and the father of her two sons is said to have broken down, Federline extended his support.

"Kevin hopes for the best for Britney and if help is necessary, he hopes that she will neither resist it or those who are attempting to work with her," the 47-year-old said via his lawyer, according to TMZ.

"The concern is whether this is just a one-off or a one more."

Britney Spears and Kevin Federline were married from 2004 to 2007 and became parents to two sons during their marriage: Sean Preston (20) and Jayden James (19).

After their divorce in 2007, the ex-couple had a mud-slinging battle that lasted for years regarding the custody of their children, which was ultimately awarded to Federline.

In his bombshell memoir published last year, the dancer accused Brit of snorting cocaine while breastfeeding, among other damning allegations.

Britney is now free again, but she will have to stand trial at the beginning of May.
