Kim Kardashian Shares Glimpse Inside Hangout With Britney Spears and Khloe Kardashian
Britney Spears thinks the world of Paris Hilton’s parenting.
The “Till the World Ends” singer called her longtime pal “such a stunning mom” as she described her personal connection with the Simple Life alum’s son Phoenix and daughter London, both 2, recalling a particularly fond encounter with the former where she “took over the room instantly.”
“My relationship with little Pheonix was quite intense,” she wrote in a post on Instagram Dec. 12 alongside a clip of the toddlers dressed as Peter Pan and Wendy. “He actually let me hold him forever and he held my chest and looked up to me and his stunning mamma was miraculously so beautiful in letting me hold him for so long.”
Britney—who is mom to sons Sean Preston, 20, and Jayden James, 19, with ex-husband Kevin Federline—further shared she was “so proud” of her friend “for being such a strong, beautiful mother” before noting that the two recently reunited to celebrate the Grammy winner’s 44th birthday on Dec. 2.
“Thank you sexy lady for visiting me on my birthday!!!” Britney said in closing. “You already know I love you sis!!!!”
Paris, 44—who shares Phoenix and London with husband Carter Reum—later reciprocated the kind words, saying that the message “made my day.”
