Early on, Federline worked as a backup dancer for ], ], ], ], and the band ], future wife ]' opening act.

At the time, I didn't think he'd come with me because we'd just met. Then I was supposed to get on a plane. Then I canceled my flight. I turned the car around, called Kevin and said, "Where are you at?" The next week I was like, "Kevin, get your passport and come out with me."}} | |||
After Spears invited him on the ]an leg of her '']'', they spent a little over a month abroad, and she proposed to him on the plane ride back to ], from ]. Federline initially said no.

On the night of ], ], two months after his second child was born to Jackson, Federline and Spears held a surprise wedding ceremony at a private home in ]. Although not legally binding, this "faux wedding" allowed the couple to finalize legal details of their marriage without the deadline of an upcoming ceremony.

In an episode of the ] '']'', a fantasy sequence features Federline asking a magic mirror how he can "look like a ]bag today."
