Britney Spears' conservatorship might have ended a few months ago but she's still facing controversy over the past week after her ex Kevin Federline expressed his support to her father Jamie Spears amid her issue with her two sons.

Speaking to The Daily Mail UK, the 44-year-old musician said that he believes the conservatorship arranged by Jamie saved Britney's life.

Kevin said he saw the pop star's father as a caring man who loves his family and wanted everything to fall into the right places.

"When Jamie took over [the convervatorship], things got into order. He saved her life," he said. (via People Magazine)

However, he also admitted that watching the drama unfold through the years was hard for him to watch.

"This whole thing has been hard to watch, harder to live through, harder to watch my boys go through than anything else, It's been tough. It's the most challenging thing I've ever had to do in my life," he explained.

When his sons with Britney, Sean Preston and Jayden, were asking him questions about the case, Kevin said he didn't know if he could answer them, but he told the kids that their mother needed help and people are trying to make the situation better.

Elsewhere in the interview, the singer/backup dancer said he wanted the two boys to reunite with their grandfather again despite having a restraining order against him.

The outlet noted that Kevin sought a protection order after Jamie allegedly got into a fight with a 13-year-old Preston a few years ago.

"People make mistakes, I feel bad for him. I feel like he's been put through the wringer," he added.

In the same interview, Kevin claimed that his two sons are refusing to see the pop star, saying both of them decided not to see her "right now" and the last time they saw her was a few months ago.

In addition, they made the decision not to go to her wedding with Sam Asghari.

After the interview, Britney's husband took to his Instagram stories to defend his wife, saying there's no validity to Kevin's statement about the children not wanting to see their mom and "it is irresponsible to make that statement publicly." (via E! Online)
