Kevin Earl Federline, (also known as K-Fed, and "Mr. Britney Spears" born March 21, 1978 in Fresno County, California), is an American celebrity.
Career
Early on, Federline worked as a backup dancer for Christina Milian, Justin Timberlake, P!nk, Michael Jackson, the band LFO, and future wife Britney Spears' opening act. Federline would later co-star with Spears on the 2005 reality television show, Britney and Kevin: Chaotic, which consisted of home videos shot by the couple. He also appeared in the 2004 movie, You Got Served.
Federline has been signed to model for the Five Star Vintage line by the San Francisco-based Blue Marlin clothing company. The initial series of ads ran in August 2006. When asked if Federline's role was permanent, he said, "We have to see how this first ad campaign goes."
After being introduced by his 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 at best. The Associated Press described the performance as "enthusiastic" and concluded that Federline "apparently" could rap.[1] 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." [2] Federline's previous single, "PopoZão," released on New Year's Day, 2006, was panned by many music industry critics, with Entertainment Weekly describing PopoZão as worse than expected, and music trade magazine Billboard echoing that the song was "a monument to mediocrity."[3]
Federline is scheduled to release his debut album, Playing with Fire on October 31, 2006, on his own record label "Federation Records", which will be distributed through Sony BMG. Federline made his television acting debut in an episode of CSI that aired on October 12th in the USA and Canada.
Kevin Federline appeared on the October 16 and October 23, 2006 editions of WWE RAW, in which he got into staged altercations with WWE Champion John Cena.
The duet between Federline and his wife Britney Spears leaked onto the internet three days before its release. Listen on YouTube

Kevin Federline is noted for his marriage to American dance-pop superstar Britney Spears. They 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). Jayden was formally known as Sutton Pierce but is now known as Jayden James.
Federline courted Spears while Shar Jackson was pregnant with his child. This prompted Shar Jackson to comment that, "it wasn't like just breaking up a relationship. It was like breaking up a family."[4]
His surname comes from German Federlein ("little feather").
Federline, who is a heavy smoker, is often photographed while smoking. He has been criticized by the media for smoking around his pregnant wife, Britney Spears.
