AceShowbiz - Britney Spears has reportedly been motivated by her sons to seek treatment following her recent legal troubles. After her March 4 arrest in Ventura, California, on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol, the pop star has grown closer to her children, who played a significant role in encouraging her to enter rehab.

A source shared with PEOPLE that Spears’ sons, Sean Preston, 20, and Jayden James, 19, were especially direct in expressing their concerns. Britney Spears was described as very upset and shaken after the arrest, and terrified of the possibility of jail time. It took her weeks to come to the realization that entering treatment was the best option for her well-being.

The insider explained that those around Britney Spears have been urging her to get help since the incident. “Her team has pushed for treatment since her arrest,” the source noted, adding that while people close to her care deeply, supporting her can be challenging.

Britney Spears shares her two sons with her ex-husband, Kevin Federline. The sons’ involvement was key in persuading their mother to take this important step. “They’ve been clear with her. They just want her to be healthy,” the source emphasized.

On April 12, Spears’ representative confirmed that she had voluntarily admitted herself to a treatment facility. Following the arrest, a spokesperson for the singer indicated that she planned to “take the right steps” moving forward, with her family helping to develop an “overdue needed plan” for her future health and stability.
