Are Britney's parents still together?
Jamie and Lynne Spears tied the knot in 1975.
In 2002 the couple divorced but by 2010, they were widely reported to have gotten back together.
The family has been at war with each other over Britney's conservatorship, a source close to the family told .
The source said: “Lynne wants a care plan established that would transition Britney’s personal life out of the conservatorship.
"Jamie has told her that Britney needs long-term monitoring, and he doesn’t think she is prepared to take such drastic action.
It seems their family dynamic is still on the rocks even after Britney was relieved from the conservatorship.
How many children do they have?
Throughout the course of their marriage, the couple have welcomed three children together.
Their children include Bryan, Britney, and Jamie.
Brit's older brother Bryan is known as a television and film producer while Jamie Lynn is known as an actress and mom-of-two.
Over the years, Britney and Jamie have had a shaky relationship but Jamie Lynn continues to support her sister and is said to be very protective of her.
Is Britney's mom part of the conservatorship?
According to court papers obtained by The Sun in August 2021, Jamie claimed that Lynne had “little if any” involvement in Britney’s life and was too “ignorant” to discuss the family’s legal matters.
“Lynne has had only limited involvement in Ms. Spears’ life these last thirteen years. She has not had a parental role in her life for decades,” his lawyers argued.
The patriarch’s legal team continued: “Despite their estranged relationship, the Conservatorship Estate, during the entire duration of the Conservatorship, has paid and continues to pay for the mansion in Louisiana where Lynne lives.
“Including all of her utility bills, weekly maid service, and all maintenance (totaling upwards of $150,000 per year and to date, nearly $2,000,000 in total).”
The news came after Lynne filed legal documents on behalf of Britney, wanting to have a role in her daughter's finances "specifically the trust which holds most of Britney's multi-million dollar assets."
She later told Life & Style Weekly that she felt responsible for Britney's troubles.
“I blame myself,” she previously told the outlet.
“What mother wouldn’t? I wish I’d been there more while she was touring, but I couldn’t be. I had the other kids to look after.”
She later added: “I didn’t raise my children to have Hollywood careers. This all just exploded in my face, and big dreams became big headaches."
In November 2021, Britney then took to Instagram in a since-deleted post, to claim that her mother gave her dad the idea for the conservatorship, allegedly telling her mom to "go f**k yourself."
In June 2022, Britney again took to social media, accusing her mom of abuse including a time when her mother allegedly hid coffee from the pop star for 15 years.
