As of 2026, Britney Spears' son, Sean Preston, is 20 years old. Spears' eldest son, Sean Preston, changed his last name on his Instagram handle. He left his father's name, Federline, and opted for his mother's last name, Spears. Sean now goes by Sean P Spears; his old handle was Sean Preston.

This comes after Sean reunited with his mother on a yacht getaway over the weekend. Britney Spears shared pictures on social media featuring his mother and his younger brother, 19-year old James.

As per an exclusive story by Us Weekly, Spears had been trying to convince Sean to spend the holidays with her and Jayden in California last December, but he had declined. A source close to Spears told the outlet,

"Britney was really hurt that Preston didn't spend Christmas with her and Jayden, but he chose not to. She tried to convince him, but he wasn't ready to meet her halfway."

Britney Spears 13-year old conservatorship, which was terminated in 2021, noticeably put cracks in her relationship with her kids. While Britney reconciled with her younger son, Jayden, last year, Sean has also been spotted with her multiple times. The source added,

"Preston feels really comfortable with his grandmother and his cousins and family in Louisiana, and he thought it would be a nice way to spend Christmas this year."
