In an extract of the interview obtained by MailOnline, Jayden talks about their decision not to attend her wedding to Sam Asghari.
'At the time it just wasn't a good time to go. I'm not saying that I'm not happy for her, I'm really happy for them.'
'But she didn't invite the whole family and then if it was just going to be me and Preston, I just don't see how that situation would have ended on good terms.'

Jayden also shared his love for the Spears family, despite the backlash they've received from both Britney and her fans amid the Free Britney movement.
The 15-year-old believes her father Jamie, who was in charge of her conservatorship, 'doesn't deserve all the hatred he is getting in the media.'

He also shared concerns for his mother's mental health.
