Britney reunited with her two sons

Britney Spears has been reunited briefly with her sons, nearly two months after the troubled pop star last saw them.

Elliot Mintz, a spokesman for Spears' ex-husband Kevin Federline, said she spent about three hours with one-year-old Jayden and two-year-old Sean on Saturday.

Mr Mintz would not say where the reunion took place or who else was there.

Spears had not been allowed to see the boys since January 3, when she refused to return the children after a visitation. Police were called to her home in a scene that ended with Spears in a hospital psychiatric ward.

Mr Federline's lawyer said on Friday that the singer's ex had agreed to give her visitation rights.

People magazine reported that Spears' psychiatrist was present during the visit to see her sons.

The visit came a day after Mr Federline's lawyer Mark Kaplan announced that the couple "agreed to a modification of the court's order" that had stripped Spears, 26, of her visitation rights.

Spears' parents went to Los Angeles around the time of her second admission to hospital, four weeks after the first incident, and have pushed to restore visitation rights to help their daughter recover.

A Los Angeles court commissioner gave Mr Federline sole physical and legal custody of the boys and suspended Spears' visitation rights on January 4.

Spears had engaged in bizarre public behaviour before her hospital admissions. Since divorcing Mr Federline in November 2006 she shaved her head, was seen in public without underwear, ran over a celebrity photographer's foot and attacked a vehicle with an umbrella.
