Musician

After being introduced by wife Britney Spears, Federline performed his first "official" single titled "Lose Control" as the final act of the 2006 Teen Choice Awards. Federline was nominated in another category (Teen Choice Award for Male Red Carpet Fashion Icon) though he did not win. Federline's music performance on the Teen Choice Awards received mixed reviews. Federline's previous single, "PopoZão," was released on New Year's Day, 2006.

Federline released his debut album, Playing with Fire on October 31, 2006, via his own record label "Federation Records," which is being distributed through Reincarnate Music.

Federline's album debuted in the Billboard 200 at #151, with first-week sales reported at 6,485. According to SoundScan, Playing with Fire placed 16th-best out of 19 new releases that week. Second week sales were far worse, with only 1,200 copies sold, dropping the album from being ranked within the Billboard 200. Commercially, the "Playing with Fire" concert tour is also challenged. In New York City, Federline performed before an estimated audience of 300, out of a total seating capacity of 1,500 at Webster Hall. Four of the eight scheduled "Playing with Fire" concert tour performances (Cleveland, Atlantic City, Anaheim, and San Diego) have been cancelled.

Modeling

Federline has been signed to model for the Five Star Vintage line by the San Francisco-based Blue Marlin clothing company. The initial series of ads ran in August 2006. When asked if Federline's role was permanent, he said, "We have to see how this first ad campaign goes."

Television appearances and professional wrestling

Federline co-starred with Spears on the 2005 reality television show, Britney and Kevin: Chaotic, which consisted of home videos shot by the couple. He also appeared in the 2004 movie, You Got Served. Federline subsequently guest-starred as a street tough who is assaulted by a police investigator in an episode of CSI that aired on October 12, 2006 in the USA and Canada.

He later appeared on the October 16, 2006 and October 23, 2006 editions of WWE RAW, in which he got into staged (or worked in pro wrestling argot) physical altercations with WWE Champion John Cena. He appeared again during the November 5 pay-per-view event Cyber Sunday, hitting Cena with King Booker's World Heavyweight Championship and helping Booker retain his title. The next night, November 6, he challenged Cena to a match at the New Year's Day edition of RAW, which Cena accepted.

Personal life

Federline is noted for his marriage to American dance-pop superstar Britney Spears. They married on September 18, 2004. Federline previously dated actress Shar Jackson, with whom he has two children. Kevin and Shar's daughter, Kori, was born on July 31, 2002, and their son, Kaleb, was born on July 20, 2004. He has also fathered two children with Spears, Sean Preston (born on September 14, 2005) and Jayden James (born on September 12, 2006).

Federline courted Spears while Shar Jackson was pregnant with his child. This prompted Shar Jackson to comment that, "it wasn't like just breaking up a relationship. It was like breaking up a family."

On November 7, 2006, Spears filed for a divorce, citing irreconcilable differences. Federline was in Toronto at the time promoting his new album for the Canadian music station MuchMusic, and it has been reported that he received the news via text message the night before, although this has not been confirmed. The Associated Press reported that a day after Spears filed divorce papers, Kevin Federline counter-filed court papers seeking spousal support and sole custody of the couple’s two children.
