Kevin Federline, for years a figure shrouded in public perception and tabloid headlines, is finally ready to set the record straight. The dancer and DJ has announced the upcoming release of a deeply personal memoir, promising to provide a candid look into his life, both in and out of the spotlight. The memoir, titled You Thought You Knew, is set to hit shelves and digital platforms on October 21.
This announcement comes almost two years after his ex-wife, Britney Spears, released her own best-selling memoir, The Woman in Me. While Federline has largely remained quiet over the years, choosing to prioritize his children’s well-being, it seems he’s now prepared to share his side of the story.

In a press release, Federline described the book as “extremely intimate and transparent.” He added, “I achieved my biggest dreams, dealt with crushing heartbreak, and endured constant ridicule, all while becoming the father my children needed as they experienced nonstop emotional turbulence. If you’ve ever had questions, you’ll find answers here.”
The memoir will reportedly cover a wide range of topics, from his early life and career as a backup dancer for stars like Michael Jackson and Destiny’s Child to his high-profile marriage and subsequent divorce from Spears. Furthermore, it will address the fallout from their split and his journey in navigating fatherhood under the intense glare of the public eye.

For a long time, Federline has been a misunderstood figure. His relationship with Spears was a constant source of media fascination, and he often bore the brunt of negative press. However, with this new memoir, Kevin Federline seems poised to offer a more nuanced perspective on his life and the events that shaped him.
This book is the debut release from Listenin, a new audio-first storytelling imprint. Jaren Hayman, the founder of the production company, said they were excited for the world to “meet the real Kevin Federline.” This is a story that many have been waiting for, and the promise of a truly honest account is sure to pique the interest of pop culture enthusiasts everywhere.
