Britney Spears voluntarily entered a treatment facility after her sons Sean Preston, 20, and Jayden James, 19, encouraged her following her March DUI arrest. “Britney went to rehab after several conversations with both of her sons,” a source told Us Weekly exclusively. “They expressed concern about her recent behavior and urged her to seek professional help.” The 44-year-old pop star spent a night in jail on suspicion of driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol. Despite initial hesitation and encouragement from her team, Preston and Jayden “were finally able to talk some sense into her,” the source said. Their relationship is reportedly “in the best place it’s been in years.” Prosecutors are still reviewing her case before a May 4th court hearing. Ex-husband Kevin Federline’s attorney said he’s “happy that she is getting help.”
