Britney Spears’ boyfriend helping her ‘keep level head’ amid family drama with dad Jamie

Britney Spears is turning to boyfriend Sam Asghari during public struggles with her family.

The 37-year-old singer has found herself at the centre of a long-standing legal drama regarding her mental health, with her father Jamie stepping down as her conservator after more than 10 years earlier this week with authority temporarily transferring to Britney’s long time care manager Jodi Montgomery.

With the management of her financial affairs and wellbeing being the subject of intense public scrutiny, Britney has been dependent on her boyfriend, 25-year-old Iranian personal trainer Sam, for support.

‘He tries to keep her level-headed and calm whenever there’s drama within her family,’ a source told Us Weekly, adding that Sam: ‘only wants the best for Britney, her boys and her happiness.’

They continued: ‘They really do love each other.’

We’re really happy to hear that Britney has people she can rely on amid what has been an incredibly stressful time for the singer.

While the re-assessment of Britney’s conservatorship has dominated the news for some time now (remember the #FreeBritney protests?), things turned particularly ugly earlier in September after it was revealed that Britney’s ex-husband Kevin Federline filed a restraining order against Britney’s father on behalf of their son, Sean.

TMZ reported that Jamie had been accused of ‘breaking down a door and grabbing’ his 13-year-old grandson in the altercation, and while the boy was left with ‘no visible bruises or injuries,’ Kevin still felt it was reason enough to go to the police.

Britney had recently relinquished joint custody of her two children with Kevin, Sean and 12-year-old Jayden, giving her ex-husband majority custody of the kids.
