Britney Spears' husband Kevin Federline reportedly wants a $125million divorce settlement if the pair split.

The couple have been engulfed by break-up rumours in recent weeks after a string of blazing rows. One argument resulted in Britney - who recently gave birth to the couple's first child, Sean Preston - kicking Kevin out of her plush Malibu home.

According to America's In Touch Weekly magazine, former dancer Kevin consulted lawyers during the tempestuous period on whether he could demand a "$125million settlement" if the marriage ended.

Britney's spokeswoman Leslie Sloan has denied the reports, saying: "The story is untrue and hurtful. Kevin didn't give them an interview."

Sloane also insists the couple are not on the verge of splitting and are as happy as they have ever been.

She said: "They are as normal as other couples. They fight, and they make up. They are fine and happy."

Earlier this week, Britney and Kevin were seen attempting to patch up their relationship over a romantic meal.

Onlookers say the pair were romantically entwined at swanky Los Angeles restaurant La Piazza.

One onlooker revealed: "As they kissed it was hard to believe they were so close to splitting recently."
