K-Fed's ex, Felicia Cabiero, said that he always had a problem with people who didn't know how to maintain their figures, and that when he wed Britney, he was sure that she would always have a killer body, even after giving birth to their child. "Kev has always had a problem with people who let themselves go. He was determined that he wouldn't go that way and wouldn't be married to a woman who did," Contactmusic quoted her, as saying. "When he wed Britney he was sure he had picked a woman who would stay in killer shape all her life, like Madonna or Demi Moore. They had babies and whipped their figures back into shape practically overnight. But she didn't seem to care after Sean Preston was born. She didn't get back into shape and he can't figure it out. It's a vicious circle. He runs around making her jealous, she gets depressed, overeats and doesn't work out," she added.
