Britney Spears' son changes name after reuniting with her

Britney Spears' son has changed his name on social media after reuniting with his mum.

The 'Gimme More' singer, 44, has been spending more time with her kids after she was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence (DUI) last month.

She was arrested by the California Highway Patrol in the Westlake Village near to her mansion at around 9:30 pm on 5 March.

On her return to Instagram, Spears thanked her fans for their support and revealed that she has been spending time with her children, whom she shares with ex Kevin Federline.

"Thank you guys for all your support… spending time with family and friends is such a blessing !!! 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹," she wrote in her caption. "Stay kind !!!"

Her eldest son, Sean Preston Federline, has since changed his name on Instagram to 'Sean P Spears'.

TMZ reports that Sean, 20, dropped his father's name from his handle.

Over the weekend, he took pictures with both his mom and younger brother, Jayden James, 19, which Spears posted on her Instagram.

It comes after a representative confirmed to PEOPLE that both her sons will be taking time out to spend with their mother during this difficult period.

"Her boys are going to be spending time with her. Her loved ones are going to come up with an overdue needed plan to set her up for success for well being," the rep said. "This was an unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable.

"Britney is going to take the right steps and comply with the law and hopefully this can be the first step in long overdue change that needs to occur in Britney’s life. Hopefully, she can get the help and support she needs during this difficult time."

The California Highway Patrol said Spears was 'driving erratically at a high rate of speed... showed signs of impairment and submitted to a series of field sobriety tests' and 'was subsequently arrested for a violation of California Vehicle Code section 23152(g), driving under the influence of a combination of drugs and alcohol' and booked.

A source told The Daily Mail that the 'Womanizer' hitmaker has been attending AA meetings in LA.

"Britney has been very open and honest in her AA meetings, she has said she loves pouring her heart out as she knows that is the best way to heal and feel better," the source said.

"The only thing she has indulged in is fancy coffee drinks. She is being super careful because she wants to be there for her kids.

"She is very happy that they are close again, it is healing her heart, she loves her sons."

Spears is scheduled to appear in court on 4 May.
