K-Fed: "I Didn't Know How Much Power Britney Had"

Now that his ex-wife Britney Spears is back in the spotlight, it looks like Kevin Federline wants to take the time to set the record straight on a few things.

K-Fed sat down with People for their latest issue, and he talks about the first time he ever saw the pop princess, their boys, their failed marriage, and the day Britney lost it.

On the first time he met Brit:

I met her at a club in Hollywood, Joseph's. Our eyes met and that was it. We just hit it off right away. I learned real fast how much of a whirlwind the press and everything was.

On what went wrong with their marriage:

It's hard enough to be in a marriage, and then have a kid, then kids, it changes everything. For me, I'd become more concerned with my children. Not that I ignored Britney, but my kids are always most important ... I mean, 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.

On the infamous day last January when Brit locked herself in the bathroom with Jayden and was subsequently taken to the hospital on a stretcher:

That whole night is a blur. You want to talk about one of my lowest points of depression, that was probably one of them. I was very, very worried for her 'cause I care about her. That's the mother of my children. Just because I'm not in love with her doesn't mean that I don't love her. I'm definitely rooting for her. There's nothing more that I want than for her to be in the best health and doing what she loves to do.

On fighting for custody of Sean Preston, age 3, and Jayden James, age 2:

My first question to [my lawyer] was, "Am I ever going to be able to see my children?" I told him that I would spend every last dime that I had to make sure that my children are okay. That's all that mattered. I didn't know how much power Britney had. That really scared me.
