Britney Jean Spears is famous for her singing. There is a question among fans whether her parents are still together or not. So in this post, you will know the truth.
Are Britney Spears Parents Still Married?
Jamie Spears is Britney’s father and Lynne Spears is her mother. In her 2008 biography “Through the Storm” Lynne Spears discussed her early connection with Jamie Spears in detail. At the age of 20, she got engaged to Jamie Spears, who was already married.
He was a local boy who was always around and he was good-looking and popular, the quintessential small-town jock hero. One day beside the pool, they did become friends. They had a ball after he invited her to an Elton John concert. Her relatives put up some protests against her. She writes:
“My parents weren’t crazy about him at first, which made it a bit sticky. They were not impressed that Jamie had been married before, and they seemed to think I could do better for myself.”
Rather than attempting to win her parents over, Lynne Spears went to see Jamie Spears at his welder job in New York and the two of them eloped. They tied the knot on May 4, 1975, in Kentwood, Louisiana.
According to Lynne Spears’ memoir, the foundation of their marriage had cracked before Britney Spears became a well-known singer. She had made up her mind to divorce Jamie Spears by the time.
Lynne said:
“In 2000, 18-year-old Britney sat me down. ‘Mama,’ she said, ‘do you want to live like this for the rest of your life?’ She meant, of course, did I want to live out my days with a husband who was barely present, never mind supportive or loving?”
She continues:
“Britney knew that sometimes, Jamie and I were golden, the sweetest, most loving, most connected couple there was. Only sometimes, though. She also knew that years of verbal abuse, abandonment, erratic behavior and his simply not being there for me had taken its toll.”
Lynne Spears writes that Jamie Spears was “irate” that she was divorcing him.
“Jamie knew in his heart that this was the toll of his actions over the years. He was angry, but not surprised.”

Britney was born in 1981 and in 1991, Jamie Lynn, their third child was welcomed. Britney and her siblings were reared in Kentwood, Louisiana, after Lynne and Jamie relocated from McComb, Mississippi.
While Jamie owned Granny’s Seafood Restaurant and had a profitable construction company, Lynne managed a daycare and taught school. She also talked about her parents’ early support for her singing career, saying:
“I’m so thankful because they’ve supported me from the very beginning. They just know that I love to sing and this is what I’ve always wanted to do, so they’ve been behind me 100% from the very beginning.”
