Britney Spears’ son Jayden James, 19, addresses long-standing rumor his mom was cloned

Britney Spears’ son Jayden James is hitting back at the bizarre conspiracy theory that the pop star has been cloned. “I hop on TikTok and I see this one video that has 1.2 million likes, and the caption is like, ‘The biggest theory ever: Is Britney Spears still alive?’” Jayden, 19, said during a Friday livestream, per Us Weekly. “Like, bro, you can go to her page and see her right now.” “It makes me know that a lot of the stuff on media is exaggerated and fake,” he continued. “People know how gullible people are, and they use that to their advantage. Anyone that sees it on media, they just see it and if it has a lot of likes, they [believe] it. They don’t even research it, they’re just, ‘Wow, yeah, it’s crazy. I believe it.’” Jayden James Federline, seen here with his mom, Britney Spears, in 2025, has addressed the conspiracy theory that she is cloned. britneyspears/Instagram The teen, photographed in 2026, called the theory “crazy.” WCP,4cnrs / BACKGRID Jayden and his brother, Sean Preston, 20, whom Spears shares with her ex Kevin Federline, have had a rocky relationship with their mother over the years.
