On March 1st, Britney Spears [3] shared a rare picture of her two sons on Instagram with a seriously reflective message. The singer posted the photo with a caption that read "it's so crazy how time flies . . . My boys are so big now 👩👦👦 !!!! I know . . . I know . . . it's very hard for any mama especially a mama with boys seeing them grow up so fast !!!! Talk about enough to make you go to your knees . . . GEEZ!!!!"
She went on to share her gratitude before trying to reign it in at the risk of not sounding like a 'cool mom', though fans of course reassured her that that wasn't the case. She said "I'm extremely lucky because my two babies are such gentleman and so kind that I must have done something right 🙊 !!!! I haven't posted pictures of them for some time cause they're at the age where they want to express their own identities and I totally get it . . . But I went out of my way to make this cool edit 🌅 and guess what . . . They're finally letting me post it !!! Now I don't feel left out anymore 😂😂😂 and I'm gonna go celebrate . . . Oh sh*t I guess cool moms don't do that . . . Ok I'll just read a book instead 🤷🏼♀️📚🤣 !!!!"
Just in case her caption wasn't cute enough, the comments that flooded in after were even cuter. Spears's partner Sam Asghari [4] commented "Lioness with her Cubs 😍", followed by her choreographer Brian Friedman whose comment read "Boys 2 Men". A number of Spears's fans also went on to let her know how happy they were to see her doing well, following the release of the Framing Britney Spears documentary [5] that aired in February, and left viewers with some pretty shocking revelations [6].
