Jamie Spears, the father of pop icon Britney Spears, has been admitted to the hospital due to a bacterial infection. The 71-year-old became seriously ill as a result of the infection and is currently undergoing treatment at an outpatient center specializing in infectious diseases.
This health setback for Jamie Spears is not the first in recent years. In November of the previous year, he was rushed to Sunrise Hospital in Las Vegas after his colon spontaneously ruptured, necessitating emergency surgery. His hospitalization extended to 28 days, according to a statement from Britney’s team, as reported by People magazine. The statement conveyed optimism about Jamie’s recovery, mentioning that he was regaining strength and expected to make a full recovery.
Britney Spears, 41, who had been under a conservatorship for over a decade until it was terminated in November 2021, expressed her commitment to caring for her family during these challenging times. She emphasized the special bond she shares with her family and her desire to support them.
Since the conclusion of the conservatorship, Britney’s relationship with her family has remained complex. Jamie Spears had already lost his role as Britney’s estate conservator two months before the conservatorship was officially terminated. The Spears family is currently focused on Jamie’s recovery and well-being.
