LOS ANGELES, Oct 6, (Agencies): Multiple reports confirm that Jamie Spears, the 71-year-old father of pop sensation Britney Spears, is currently in recovery at an outpatient facility following a hospitalization due to a severe bacterial infection.

The controversial figure, known for his role in his daughter's life, fell seriously ill, prompting his hospitalization. Subsequently, he has been relocated to an outpatient facility specializing in infectious diseases for continued treatment.

Jamie's relationship with his eldest daughter has experienced strain in recent years, particularly after her highly publicized legal battle in 2021 to terminate his conservatorship over her affairs.

In a dramatic turn of events in 2021, Britney Spears garnered international attention when she delivered impassioned testimony during a legal hearing. She expressed her fervent desire "to end the conservatorship without being evaluated" and to regain control of her own life. During her testimony, she made a series of startling allegations against both her father and her management team.

In a significant development, Britney's conservatorship was officially terminated in November 2021, marking the conclusion of a 13-year legal arrangement. Concurrently, Jamie Spears was suspended from his role as conservator.

This latest health ordeal faced by Jamie Spears adds another chapter to the complex and high-profile story of the Spears family, characterized by legal battles and personal struggles.
