Kevin Federline, the former husband of pop star Britney Spears, has been sued by Bank of America over an unpaid credit card bill of $12,186.64. The bank claims Federline last made a payment on the account in May 2025, a month after his child support payments from Spears ended. This news comes just days after Spears was arrested on suspicion of DUI.

Why it matters

This case highlights the ongoing financial challenges faced by celebrities, even those who have received substantial child support and alimony payments.
