In an exclusive report, Page Six has revealed that Jamie Spears, the estranged father of pop sensation Britney Spears, is currently hospitalized and battling a severe health issue. Sources close to the situation have disclosed that Jamie is grappling with a serious infection that has necessitated surgical intervention. He has been receiving treatment at a specialized infectious disease facility for several weeks.
A second insider with knowledge of the family’s situation has described Jamie’s condition as “severely ill.” The news dispels recent claims from the Daily Mail suggesting that Jamie had sought rehabilitation over the summer, clarifying that these reports are inaccurate.
Despite these developments, Jamie Spears’ lawyer has not provided an immediate response to Page Six’s request for comment.
This health crisis follows TMZ’s report in August, which detailed Jamie’s initial hospitalization “several months ago” due to complications arising from a knee replacement procedure he underwent in the mid-2000s. During that time, sources indicated that Jamie had experienced significant weight loss and appeared remarkably thin while receiving medical care.
Since being removed as Britney Spears’ conservator in September 2021, following the pop star’s allegations of abuse during his guardianship, Jamie has largely remained out of the public eye. A Los Angeles judge officially terminated Britney’s 13-year conservatorship less than two months later.
The father-daughter relationship remains strained, with Britney publicly expressing her resentment towards Jamie in an October 2022 Instagram post, telling him to “burn in hell.” Sources close to the situation have indicated that a reconciliation between the two is not likely.
Throughout his tenure as conservator, Jamie consistently denied any wrongdoing and contended that he had acted to save Britney’s life when he assumed guardianship in February 2008 during her mental health struggles.
Recent reports have suggested that Britney, now 41, is not on good terms with most of her family at present, underscoring the ongoing complexities within the Spears family.
