Britney Spears will not only be marrying fiance Jason Trawick on Valentine’s Day, reports say, but also she will be getting an especially meaningful gift from father Jamie Spears — control of her finances and business decisions.
A source close to Spears tells the Sunday Express that Jamie Spears is looking to end his conservatorship over his daughter’s affairs in time for her wedding, which reports say will be taking place on Feb. 14 on the Hawaiian island of Maui.
BRITNEY SPEARS AND JASON TRAWICK ENGAGED
BRITNEY SPEARS ‘CAN’T STOP LOOKING’ AT ENGAGEMENT RING
“Jamie wants to go to court in early February so Britney will be a free woman in every sense when she marries,” the source tells the paper.
While Spears’ rep refutes the reports on the wedding date and location, Spears’ camp has not responded to claims that her conservatorship may soon end.
Jamie was granted a court-ordered conservatorship over his daughter’s life when, following her split with husband Kevin Federline, the pop star had a public meltdown that culminated in her shaving her head and attacking paparazzi photographers with an umbrella. The singer lost custody of her two children, Sean Preston and Jayden James, before her father swooped in to help the singer get back on track in 2008.
According to reports, all major decisions in Spears’ life must be approved by her father and brought before a judge. Over the summer, sources told Radar Online that the father-daughter pair wanted to keep the conservatorship in place. But sources say that has changed since Spears got engaged to former agent Trawick.
“OMG. Last night Jason surprised me with the one gift I’ve been waiting for,” Spears tweeted on Dec. 16. “Can’t wait to show you! SO SO SO excited!!!! Xxo.”
Soon after, she posted a photo of herself wearing her engagement ring along with the words, “I can’t stop looking at it!”
In 2008, Spears praised her father in the Daily Star for his help, saying that he “saved my life.”
“My father saved my life,” Spears explained. “I probably wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for him … [He] basically gave up his job and his life to look after me at a time when I wasn’t even sure I wanted to go on living.”
Meanwhile, Federline was hospitalized earlier today in Australia, after complaining of chest pains while filming the reality TV weight loss series “Excess Baggage.”
