Britney Spears' Family Ties Re-examined Four Years After Conservatorship Battle

Exactly four years since Britney Spears considered legal action against her family concerning her conservatorship, Us Weekly is now shedding light on the current state of the pop superstar's relationships with her mother, father, and siblings.

Britney, aged 43, famously criticized her "entire family" at a public court session in June 2021, stating they had done "absolutely nothing" to assist her in escaping the grip of her estranged father, Jamie Spears, who initiated the contentious legal setup in February 2008 following her highly publicized mental health struggles.

“I simply wish to reclaim my life,” Britney stated to a Los Angeles judge during that period. “Thirteen years have passed, and that is sufficient. It has been an extensive duration since I've had control over my finances, and it is my desire and aspiration for this entire situation to conclude.”

Britney contended that she “ought not to be under a conservatorship” given that, in contrast to most conservatees who are usually elderly or have diminished capacity, she maintained the ability to “work and financially support” others, Jamie included. (During the entirety of her conservatorship, Britney launched four albums, undertook several tours, and fronted a Las Vegas residency which generated $137.7 million.)

A Detailed Look at Britney Spears’ Relatives

“My father and everyone connected to this conservatorship … they deserve to be incarcerated,” she declared.

The judge overseeing the proceedings removed Jamie, 73, from his role as Britney’s conservator in September 2021, prior to completely ending the guardianship that November.

Since that time, Britney's connections with her family have faced difficulties. She has been seen with her mother, Lynne Spears, and her brother, Bryan Spears, periodically, yet she has not reconnected with her father or her sister, Jamie Lynn Spears.

Presently, confidential sources are providing Us with exclusive details regarding the current state of the Spears family dynamics.

Jamie Spears

A source indicates that Britney’s “connection with her father does not exist,” further stating, “Any possibility of mending their relationship is nil.”

A second insider verifies, “There is absolutely no contact between them, and that is her preference. To say she is furious barely scratches the surface of her feelings concerning him and his actions towards her. She will never pardon him. He has come to terms with this and now leads a very private existence. With the conservatorship concluded, his only present concern is his health.”

Nevertheless, a third source maintains that Britney continues to “care for her father,” reporting that she even “proposed covering his medical expenses and locating the top physicians” following his leg amputation in late 2023 caused by a severe infection.

The Fluctuating Relationship Between Britney Spears and Jamie Spears

Lynne Spears

The initial source discloses that the situation remains “intricate” between Britney and her 70-year-old mother: “Their bond is exceedingly delicate. [Lynne] typically initiates contact with Britney. They communicate via calls and messages every couple of weeks. There are no immediate plans for her mother to visit.”

The second insider agrees, “[Britney] and her mother continue to experience periods of closeness and distance. Some days they strive to improve their bond, while others they remain out of communication for weeks. Lynne endeavors to approach the circumstance with the utmost sensitivity, yet she is also disinclined to remain passive. Her greatest wish is to regain a close relationship with Britney. They were once inseparable friends. Lynne acknowledges that Britney remains wounded and affected by the conservatorship, but she anticipates a future where they can concentrate on what lies ahead rather than dwelling on what has passed.”

The third source further states that Britney “recognizes her mother as an admirable woman and cherishes her deeply.”

Jamie Lynn Spears

The siblings have achieved some headway since their widely publicized dispute in 2022 concerning the 34-year-old Zoey 101 former star’s autobiography, Things I Should Have Said. (Britney published her own literary work, The Woman in Me, in the subsequent year.)

“Britney and Jamie Lynn are on improved terms, and they intend to meet up shortly,” the initial source discloses. “The sisters opted to manage their relational difficulties privately, away from public scrutiny. They engage in video calls every couple of weeks, and Jamie Lynn plans to visit Britney next month in Los Angeles.”

A different insider comments, “They genuinely care for each other, yet they can be stubborn sisters.”

Bryan Spears

Britney has maintained the strongest bond with her brother, who took up residence with the vocalist soon after her former husband Sam Asghari initiated divorce proceedings in August 2023. Britney and Bryan, 48, have additionally enjoyed several holidays together in the last year.

“Britney and Bryan maintain a close relationship,” the first source states. “He remains uninvolved in her disputes with other family members.”
