Britney Spears is reportedly living with her brother amid her shock divorce.
The ...Baby One More Time singer, 41, is said to have stayed close to her older sibling Bryan throughout her long-running battle to free herself from her family’s controversial conservatorship over her life and $60 million (NZ$100m), which was legally ended in April, and he is now understood to have temporarily moved in with her in the Los Angeles mansion she shared with her now-estranged husband Sam Asghari, 29.
A source told Page Six: “He’s been staying over and helping her alongside a therapist.”
The insider added Bryan’s presence is “a great thing for all of” the Spears family.

Spears briefly reunited with her mother Lynne Spears, 68, in May, but sources told the outlet there is “still a lot of hurt there” and they “haven’t quite reconciled”.
Bryan only publicly spoke once about his sister’s conservatorship, admitting on a podcast in July 2020 that “having someone constantly tell you to do something has got to be frustrating”.
When Spears married Asghari in June 2022, reports surfaced she had invited Bryan.

But Spears then denied on Instagram that her brother had made the guest list, telling him: “You hurt me and you know it.”
Insiders have told Page Six she and Sam had been “living separately for months.
One said: “Britney wanted a fairytale and she didn’t get it. She felt that Sam’s love was not unconditional.
“Of course she feels let down … anyone would when your partner is not providing for you in the way you feel you need to be provided for.
“But he was not super-present. You only have to ask, ‘Where was he when Britney was filming all her Instagram videos?’
“He would just disappear for months to go filming and she would be left all alone. There were times when he would just get up and go.”
