This is a nice story – Britney Spears’s parents, Jamie and Lynne Spears, have reconciled eight years after their 2002 divorce. Jamie and Lynne split at the height of Britney’s success, and I remember rumors at the time revolving around Jamie wanting to be in Louisiana and Lynne wanting to be in LA for both Britney and Jamie-Lynne’s careers. Gossip Cop was the first to report the reconciliation, noting that the couple were “spotted being affectionate with each other on Saturday at Boudoir, a club in Los Angeles…A source close to the family tells Gossip Cop Jamie and Lynne have been back together since the summer.” People Magazine has more:
Britney Spears’s parents, Lynne and Jamie Spears, are reconciling eight years after their divorce.
“They are back together and are doing well and happy,” a source tells PEOPLE. “[They’re] not remarried but back together.”
The couple, who divorced in 2002, were looking friendly on Saturday at Los Angeles lounge Boudoir. Onlookers at the lounge spotted Lynne and Jamie cheering and dancing as DJ Mr. Best spun Britney’s hits, like “Toxic” and “Gimme More.”
“They were in a great mood together,” says an onlooker. “They were laughing together – dancing and laughing [and] totally having fun.”
“Lynne is a dear, sweet person,” a family friend tells PEOPLE. “She deserves happiness. As her friend, my wish for her would be a happy ending.”
In 2002, shortly after the breakup of her parents’ 30-year marriage, Britney told PEOPLE it wasn’t a bad thing.
“It’s the best thing that’s ever happened to my family,” says Spears. “My mom and dad, bottom line, do not get along. When I was a baby, they argued.”
Britney, 28, also has been doing well romantically, and is currently dating Jason Trawick, 38.
Lynne and Jamie have been back together as a couple since last summer, according to Gossip Cop, which first reported the news of their reconciliation.

These photos that I’m using, they’re from August, when Jason Trawick took Britney to Hawaii, Jamie and Lynn stayed in LA and took care of Sean Preston and Jaden. They even took them out for a happy beach photo op. I remembered the photos from when I first saw them – just because I thought Jamie and Lynn looked so happy and sweet together. Do you think their mutual concern for their daughters brought them closer together? Or is it because Jamie moved out to LA permanently to take care of Britney, and the move was convenient for Lynne? I like to think that they were simply still in love, and they just wanted to be together, all over again. *wipes tear from eye*
