Actress Shar Jackson is finally speaking out about Britney Spears' divorce from her ex-boyfriend Kevin Federline. The former "Moesha" star is the mother of two of Federline's children, Kori, four, and Kaleb, two. Jackson insists the couple should put their differences aside and come together for the sake of their children.

She tells Us Weekly, "I hope that they are mature enough to realize that their differences come in second to the needs of their children and that it is no longer about them as individuals, but about maintaining a healthy friendship/relationship for the sake of their children."

Jackson recently told news show "Inside Edition" that she saw no obvious signs of discord between the couple the last time she saw them on Halloween at Federline's album release party. She says, "They seemed happy to me. (Britney) gave me a hug... and told me I looked cute."

Jackson insists she doesn't feel any bitterness toward Federline, who left her for Spears while she was pregnant with their second child, and actually feels sympathy for him. She says, "He's such a nice guy. He's made some mistakes, but everybody else doesn't have the whole world pointing fingers at their mistakes."

Spears, 24, and Federline, 28, are both suing for custody of their two sons, Sean Preston, 14 months, and Jayden James, two months. Jackson adds, "I don't know what their situation is or why he wants to get custody of his children other than the fact that he loves them. Maybe, it goes deeper than that. Maybe it's because of all the press about her mothering."

When asked why the public seems to be so happy about the couple's split she adds, "I think part of it is because whether you know him or not, he has become almost a national joke."
