Spears wants back with Federline?

Britney Spears wants to rekindle her relationship with Kevin Federline, according to a report.

She has spent two nights with her ex in the past week and wants to get back together permanently, reports the News of the World.

The star, who was married to Jason Alexander for two days in 2004, is said to have dumped recent love interest John Sundahl before spending more time at her home with Federline.

"Britney does not want two divorces behind her at her age," explained a friend of the pair. "She and Kevin are talking things through and hope they can work it out and be a proper family again."

Another source commented: "Britney has finally realised she needs Kevin to keep her strong. Since they split, her life has been in freefall and she knows it's just not fair on the kids."
