Britney and Kevin may really be trying to get back together. While rumors of that nature have been floating around for some time, they gained credibility after multiple reports came out saying that Britney’s dad and conservator Jamie was a fan of the idea and actively encouraging it. Additionally, both of Brit’s parents have had nothing but good things to say about Kevin in the last several months.

Now it appears things have really moved forwards in that regard, as Britney and Kevin are seeing a couples’ counselor and even considering moving back in together.

In a shock new move she and her ex-husband Kevin Federline are considering getting back together, it has been reported by America’s National Enquirer. The two are reportedly undergoing couples counseling to rebuild their relationship in the hope that they can raise their two sons as a family.

‘Part of their therapy involves going on formal dates and Britney is so excited,’ a source told the magazine. ‘She’s never stopped loving Kevin or hoping they’d get back together. Kevin still loves Britney too and if all goes well after six months of counseling they’ll move back in together with the boys.’ …insiders say things have changed since the end of the court case.

‘Britney’s dad first talked to Kevin about reconciling with her last spring. He was really noncommital at the time because he and Britney were still at odds over custody. But Kevin’s always believed it would be best for the boys to be raised by both parents, and he and Jamie spent weeks looking for a counsellor who suited both his and Britney’s personalities and could come to their homes.’

Before their troubles began: Kevin Federline and Britney are now thinking of making another go of their marriage. Britney is reportedly prepared to do whatever it takes to have her sons back full time. She is now selling her home in Beverly Hills to move nearer to Kevin and their sons. ‘If all goes well they’ll move into Britney’s new house together,’ the source revealed.

That’s an interesting take on why Britney really is selling her house. Supposedly it was because she wanted to move somewhere more private that was less of a paparazzi target. But closer to K-fed would make sense too – even if they’re not getting back together. Going back and forth between homes would be less stressful on Britney’s sons.

For a long time the notion of Kevin and Britney reconciling was a really terrible thought. However both of them have gone through a tremendous amount since they split up, and they both seem to have grown and matured a lot. Part of me thinks it sounds like they’re forcing it a bit though. There’s this ring of a business deal to the whole article. If they really want to get back together for the long haul, good for them. But if they’re only doing it for their sons, it probably won’t last, and the older the boys are if their parents split up again, the worse they’ll take it. Hopefully everyone is thinking this through from all angles.
