Father’s Day had social media buzzing with sweet tributes to dads and father figures alike, not to mention adorable snaps of celebrity children—from royals like Prince William and Prince Harry to A-listers like Ben Affleck. But Britney Spears used the day to celebrate in her own way—by spending time with her 18-year-old son, Jayden James.

The pop icon, 43, took to Instagram on Sunday, June 15, to share a rare photo and short video clip of the two posing together at what appears to be her home. Britney smiles proudly next to Jayden, who now towers over her—and honestly, that’s what I can’t stop talking about. When did he get so tall?

Britney, who also shares 19-year-old Preston with ex-husband Kevin Federline, kept the caption short, writing, “Went to church today !!! Sang and praised !!!”

Earlier this week, Britney gave fans another glimpse into her mom life. She posted a clip of Jayden behind the wheel with Lenny Kravitz's "Fly Away" playing in the background. The video pans between Jayden and the open road ahead and even catches a brief moment where the pop star runs her fingers through his hair.

“He is 6’3 and his hands are so big now !!! How long am I going to be in shock ??? It’s so incredibly crazy, it’s not even funny !!! I’m blessed !!! Just please be careful with my heart too !!!” the "Lucky" singer wrote.

Their recent hangouts come just months after an emotional reunion over the holidays. “I hadn’t seen him in 2 and a half years or maybe 3 !!! I’m in shock !!!” Britney shared back in December.

Reflecting on how much he’s changed, she added, “He came back and he feels older and smarter than me… He’s a man and I cry every day of my life because of the miracle and genius he is !!!”

Love to see it.
