The pop star Britney Spears divorce her rapper husband Kevin Federline comes just over two years after the couple tied the knot.
But insiders say Kevin might still be in the dark.
"He's been going on like normal, talking about his relationship and Britney," a friend of Kevin's told Life & Style magazine, "but she wasn't going on anymore! They fought all week in New York ... No one knew about the divorce. Not even Kevin. It's very possible he was flying when she filed!"
In her petition, Spears asks for both legal and physical custody of the couple's two children, 1-year-old Sean Preston and 2-month-old Jayden James; Federline would get visitation rights.
The date of separation was listed as Monday.Spears reportedly has hired yet another celebrity to handle the divorce. Lawyer Laura Wasser, the attorney who represented Angelina Jolie, Nick Lachey and Kiefer Sutherland in divorce cases, has been tabbed by Spears to handle the split.
Federline will be represented by attorney Mark Vincent Kaplan.
Family law experts say that for a woman to leave her husband with two small children - including an infant - is an unusual move.
"He must have done something pretty bad and gotten caught," says Sue Moss, a partner with Manhattan's Chemtob Moss Forman Talbert. "It is very, very rare for a woman to leave her husband when she has an 8-week-old child. When that happens there is a Lifetime movie to be made. They say there are irreconcilable differences but you know there is a real story behind it."
