Spears' fianc & eacute; becomesfather for the 2nd time
LOS ANGELES -- Almost-stepmom Britney Spears' rather complex family tree just sprouted another branch. Actress Shar Jackson, the ex-girlfriend of Spears' fianc & eacute;, Kevin Federline, gave birth Tuesday to her second child by the pop star's future husband, reports E!Online.
Jackson, who played Niecy on "Moesha" during the teen sitcom's 1996-2001 run, went into labor at an Orange County, Calif., hospital.
Federline, a dancer, missed the 10:30 a.m. delivery, but arrived at the hospital a few hours later. Spears did not accompany him.
It was not known whether Jackson and Federline's latest production was a boy or girl. The ex-couple already have a 2-year-old daughter, Kori. In all, the 27-year-old Jackson now has four children.
Jackson and Federline, 26, were a couple for about four years before Federline went bonkers for Britney last spring. In April, Spears, fresh off her 55-hour Vegas marriage, and Federline went public with their romance; the pregnant and dumped Jackson went public with her ire.
"There are two little kids -- Spears better be prepared to baby-sit," Jackson told Us Weekly.
Spears recently told People magazine that she definitely "plans to meet Federline's kids." The 22-year-old also said she definitely plans to have her own kids.
"I see myself with four or five," Spears said.
