Kevin Federline still "loves" Britney Spears

Kevin Federline still "loves" ex-wife Britney Spears, the rapper's rep declared Tuesday.

Speaking after the Toxic singer won extended visitation rights to see the former couple's two sons during a court hearing yesterday, K-Fed's spokesperson said: "Kevin loves Britney and he loves his children.

"I believe he would love to see a situation where the children have the benefit of a mommy and a daddy raising them. I've seen him (Kevin) with his children. The love is genuine."

The couple split after two years of marriage in 2006, sending Britney's life spiraling out of control.

Spears, 26, will now get three days supervised visitation a week and visitation on Mother's Day.

"The court made orders [Tuesday], they were orders that the parties were able to mostly agree to," Kevin's attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan said. "It represents a cautious step moving forward.

"We are seeing signs of [Britney's] progress, and consistency over time is something welcome by Kevin ... The children are doing great."

The next progress hearing is set for July 15.

After the hearing, Britney, wearing a knee-length brown and white dress, was spotted smiling and leaving with her parents.

When asked if she were happy, her attorney Stacy Philips gave a smile and a thumbs up sign.

Lynne and Jamie Spears, were smiling and talking to each other.
