Two years, two children and two marriages, but once again Britney finds herself alone.
The ink is barely wet on the legal papers but already they're all over the Internet, citing irreconcilable differences and demanding custody of the couple's two children, 13-month-old Sean Preston and eight-week old Jayden James.
There have been a lot of public spats, a lot of public fights, several times when one or the other moved out of the family home, at one point Britney had his car towed away very publicly, so this has never been what you might call a stable relationship.
There is a real public, you know, swelling of support for her right now and I think she will come back just like she said she would all along and I think getting rid of Kevin and moving forward as a single mum was the first step for her.
The twenty-four-year-old's love life has been under constant media scrutiny since she first exploded into the music charts back in 1998.
First, there was her long-term relationship with her fellow Mickey Mouse Club presenter Justin Timberlake. Then, her two-day marriage to childhood sweetheart Jason Alexander after a night out in Vegas and then her turbulent and soon to be ex-married to dancer Kevin Federline.
Many of Britney's loyal fan started a hate campaign against her new husband. Rumours of problems in the marriage started early on and just last week in New York the couple were rumoured to have stayed in separate hotels.
