Born on March 21, 1978 in Fresno County, California, Kevin Federline (commonly known as K-Fed) chose dancing as a career and eventually earned a spot as a backup dancer for Justin Timberlake. In April 2004, Federline met
Britney Spears in Los Angeles and the two hit it off immediately.
After being introduced by Britney Spears, his then pregnant wife, Federline performed his first official single titled “Lose Control” as the final act of the 2006 Teen Choice Awards. Federline was nominated in another category (Teen Choice Award for Male Red Carpet Fashion Icon) though he did not win. Federline's music performance on the Teen Choice Awards received mixed reviews. The Associated Press described the performance as “enthusiastic” and concluded that Federline “apparently could rap.” The same conclusion was not reached by some within the hip hop community, as Elliot Wilson, chief editor of “XXL Magazine” quipped that Federline should be ignored, stating, “he's a joke, basically.”
Federline's previous single, PopoZao, was released on New Year's Day, 2006. He released his debut album, “Playing with Fire,” on October 31, 2006.
Federline and Spears married on September 18, 2004. Federline previously dated actress Shar Jackson, with whom he has two children. Kevin and Shar's daughter, Kori, was born on July 31, 2002, and their son, Kaleb, was born on July 20, 2004. He has also fathered two children with Spears, Sean Preston (born on September 14, 2005) and Jayden James (born on September 12, 2006). On November 7, 2006, Spears filed for a divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. Federline was in Toronto at the time promoting his new album for the Canadian music station MuchMusic, and it has been widely speculated that he received the news via text message the night before. The moment that Kevin received the text message was caught on camera.
