Britney Spears may not have spent the holidays with her mother, Lynne Spearsbut she still has hope for the future of their relationship.
“Britney understands that her mother would have loved to see her at Christmas, but she felt it was just too early,” a source exclusively revealed We weekly. “Britney is open to rebuilding her relationship with Lynne, but she wants things to unfold organically and not force anything.”
The insider notes that Britney, 42, is currently “in a really good place” and would “like to continue nurturing her relationship with her mother,” but the pop star “also wants to take her time” with their reconciliation. “She doesn’t feel like anything needs to be rushed,” the source adds Us.
A second source said this earlier this month Us that Britney is “very happy with where things are going with her mom” and that she was open to “making time to celebrate the holidays with her mom and brother.” [Bryan Spears].”
While the mother-daughter duo “still has a lot to process,” the second insider said that “the door for communication has been opened and they have been in touch quite often lately.”
Britney has been working to make amends with some of her family members since her 13-year conservatorship ended in November 2021. In May, Britney revealed that she and Lynne, 68, had reconnected for the first time in three years.
“My sweet mom showed up at my door [sic] yesterday after 3 years…it’s been so long…with family there are always things that need to be worked out…but time heals all wounds!!!” the “Gimme More” singer wrote via Instagram next to a childhood photo of herself in a ballerina outfit. “And after being able to communicate what I’ve been holding on for an extremely long time, I feel so blessed that we were able to try to make things RIGHT!!! I love you so much!!!”
She concluded her update by writing, “I am so blessed that after 14 years we can have coffee together!!! Then let’s go shopping!!!”
A third source says this Us in August that Britney was more “open to the possibility” of repairing her and Lynne’s relationship after her divorce from husband Sam Asghari. “Britney knows it will take some time and she’s not sure their connection will ever be able to fully recover,” the insider explains.
Last month, Britney wrote in a now-deleted Instagram post that her brother, Bryan, 46, is “like a dad and my best friend.” Britney has also reportedly collaborated with her sister, Jamie Lynn Spearsto put some of their tension in the past.
“I think every family fights and has their stuff,” Jamie Lynn, 32, said during a November episode I’m a celebrity… Get me out of here!. “But I talked to her before I came here and we love each other.”
