Speaking toPeoplein 2008, Federline recalled the exact moment he first met Spears.
“I met her at a club in Hollywood, Joseph’s.
Our eyes met and that was it.
We just hit it off right away.”
He added, “I was madly in love with her.
Everything just seemed so right.”
In September 2004, the couple tied the knot during a surprise wedding ceremony in California.
Spears and Federline had originally planned on having a big wedding.
However, the pair decided against the idea.
“It became this huge thing and I was like, ‘What are we waiting for?
We know this is the real thing, why not just do it now?'”
In November 2006, the “Womanizer” hitmaker officially filed for divorce, citing irreconcilable differences.
During an interview withPeoplein December 2008, Federline revealed that he was totally “blindsided” by the divorce.
