In 2005, just days before the couple's first wedding anniversary, Spears and Federline welcomed their first child together, son Sean Preston. The following year, in 2006, the pair also welcomed their second child, son Jayden James (via People).
However, according to Showbiz Cheat Sheet, Spears reportedly told Federline via text message that she wanted a divorce after just two years of marriage. In November 2006, the "Womanizer" hitmaker officially filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.
During an interview with People in December 2008, Federline revealed that he was totally "blindsided" by the divorce. "We were having complications. I didn't give her an ultimatum, but I was trying to work stuff out with her, and she didn't even talk to me or anything and went behind my back and filed [for divorce]. [I was] completely blindsided," he told the magazine.
In March 2007, the couple reached a divorce settlement, and four months later, in July 2007, their divorce was finalized with both parties agreeing to share custody of their two sons. Following the couple's highly-publicized break-up, Federline received a now iconic nickname from Spears' fans and the media, who often refer to the singer's former husband as "Fed-Ex" (via Facts Page).
