According to hollywood.com, the couple's relationship has grown so strained that Britney asked Federline to live in the basement of their California mansion.

She reportedly returned from New York this week to find Federline drinking and smoking cannabis in the house.

Spears apparently tried hard to save the marriage for the sake of their son Sean Preston and their unborn second child, due in October, but has lost patience.

A friend said: "She wanted to wait, but their relationship has become so hostile she just doesn't see how she can make it work."

The singer's spokesperson has not yet denied the claims.
