Britney Spears’ father, 41, Jamie Spears, 70, has spoken out publicly for the first time in many years. He spoke about the end of guardianship, which was ordered by a court in 2021 after 13 years. In an interview with the “Daily Mail” he defended his role in it. Jamie Spears said he didn’t know if his daughter would still be alive without the guardianship.
“Not everyone will agree with me,” said the 70-year-old, according to the “Daily Mail”. “It’s been a hell of a time. But I love my daughter with all my heart and soul. Where would Britney be now without that guardianship? And I don’t know if she would be alive. I don’t know.” The guardianship protected his daughter. “To protect them and also the children”, this was “a great tool”. “Without her, I don’t think she would have gotten the kids back,” he added.
In November 2021, a Los Angeles court granted a motion to terminate guardianship. Earlier, there had been an emotional statement from Britney Spears, in which she claimed guardianship was abusive. The singer was then allowed to hire her own lawyer for the first time, which led to an investigation.
Britney Spears lives in Los Angeles with her husband, model Sam Asghari (28). She has two sons, Jayden, 16, and Preston, 17, with ex-husband Kevin Federline, 44. Jamie Spears and his younger daughter Jamie Lynn Spears (31) live in Louisiana, according to the report. Jamie Spears told the Daily Mail that he misses his grandchildren Jayden and Preston “really a lot”. They would have been very close. “But they developed a mind of their own. God makes things happen for a reason. I don’t know what the reason is, but it’s been a tough three years without her. The family is a mess. We can only keep praying.”
Federline was initially awarded custody of the children. Jamie Spears claims he worked out an agreement with Federline in the course of guardianship so the two boys could spend time with their mother. Jamie Spears said guardianship also helped sort out his daughter’s finances because “she was broke” and “had no money at all.” He just wanted to help his daughter.
