Britney Spears is “totally relying” on son Jayden James in the wake of her shocking DUI arrest, a source tells Star.
On Thursday, March 12, the Daily Mail published photos of the 19-year-old taking his mother’s Mercedes Benz convertible for a ride around her Thousand Oaks, California neighborhood.
“He’s become a huge emotional support for her and [is] doing things for her that her assistants usually do like running errands,” reveals the source, adding that Jayden “does it all with a great attitude” too. “He’s a very compassionate kid. It’s actually quite remarkable.”
After news of her brush with the law broke, a representative for the “Circus” singer, 44, told Star that Jayden and his brother, Sean Preston, 20, were going to be “spending time” with her and that loved ones were going to “come up with an overdue needed plan” to set Spears up for success.
But so far, Jayden’s been the only one spotted by the pop star’s side.
“It’s clear he cares about her deeply and feels like he owes it to her [to] try and help,” says the source. “He wants his mom at her best and everyone can see how much it helps her to have him there.”

As Star previously reported, Spears’ loved ones want her to go to rehab, but after finally being freed from her conservatorship, she sees any sort of professional help as a huge trap.
There is one person the Pop Princess doesn’t live in fear of though — and that’s Jayden.
“Britney trusts him completely, which isn’t something she can say about anyone else in her life at this point,” the source admits. “Everyone has betrayed her.”
Spears even trusts Jayden to make decisions on her behalf with her business managers, the source reveals. “One day, everything she has will go to him and his brother Sean, so she feels like there’s no reason he shouldn’t start being involved now.”
