Kevin Federline's former partner Shar Jackson, who has two children with him, has praised the rapper's parenting skills.
Federline is currently the primary legal guardian of his two young sons with singer Britney Spears, who has had all her visitation rights stripped by the courts.
According to People magazine, Jackson said of Federline: "You know, he can't worry about what's going on outside his household."
"That's the only way you can stay sane and stay focused. You just can't worry about the stuff that's going on outside your house. You have to just protect everybody inside your home and stay focused on that."
She praised Federline's parenting skills, saying: "I've always said he's an amazing father... it's just now people decide they want to listen. He's an awesome dude. He makes mistakes - people do that. It's part of life."
