Kevin Federline talks about falling in love with Britney

Rapper plans to write a book

Kevin Federline admits that when he began seeing his now-wife, Britney Spears, the timing was less than ideal.

"I'm not going to say that I planned on falling in love with my wife when my ex-girlfriend (actress Shar Jackson) was pregnant," Federline, 28, tells USA Today.

However, the rapper, whose debut album, Playing with Fire, hits stores Tuesday, says one thing wasn't a surprise: "I knew for sure that I'd have one or two children by now. I didn't think I'd have four children, but I love being a young dad with a big family."

Federline has two children with Jackson, daughter Kori, 4, and son Kaleb, 2. His first child with Spears, Sean Preston, is 1, and their second son, Jayden James, was born Sept. 12.

All four kids get along, Federline tells the newspaper. Sean Preston "gets real excited when Kori and Kaleb come over," and Jayden "picks up things a lot quicker than the others, because he has the benefit of learning from the older kids."

His and Spears's older son, he says, "is starting to take on the big brother role, and he's getting very protective. (He) wants to be around the baby all the time."

Little Jayden James hasn't yet made his public debut, and Federline says Spears will decide when to release a photo. "But if my wife wants to have that baby all to herself for now, then she keeps it, because there's not much she has to herself," he says, "not even her own children."

Federline also tells his life story to the The New York Post, and says he wants to write a book: "The book is definite. It will be a biography of my life until I met my wife, so people will better understand who I am. I haven't done it yet. You know, I'll get a ghostwriter in there."
