Kevin Federline and Jamie Spears are writing a book about (ahem!) parenting. Britney Spears’ ex-husband is “writing a book on his experience of fatherhood” — and the pop star’s estranged dad has “agreed to help,” says journalist Daphne Barak. Barak has interviewed both Federline and Jamie Spears in recent months, and told a reporter that the 2 “are now speaking to each other once again” following a rough patch in their relationship.
