Kevin Federline is stepping into the spotlight with a memoir titled You Thought You Knew, scheduled for release on October 21, 2025. The book marks his first major public statement about the intense media scrutiny he has faced since his high-profile marriage and divorce from Britney Spears.
In the memoir, Federline reflects on his upbringing, early career as a dancer, and the sudden rise to fame that came with his relationship with Spears. He offers his perspective on the pressures of fatherhood, navigating public judgment, and the emotional toll of staying silent for years in order to protect his children.
He describes the book as a deeply personal and transparent look at the man behind the headlines. It aims to challenge the public’s perception of him and provide answers to questions that have followed him for decades.
Federline, now 47, will narrate the audiobook himself. The release will be available through an audio-first imprint as well as in traditional formats on platforms like Audible, Spotify, and Apple Books.
The memoir follows the release of Spears’s own bestselling memoir and offers a counter-narrative from a figure who has largely avoided the spotlight in recent years. With You Thought You Knew, Federline is finally ready to tell his story in his own voice.
