Britney Spears is making headlines again, but this time it's not for her music. The pop sensation was seen soaking up the sun on a yacht in Baja California Sur, Mexico, amidst swirling concerns from her family about her well-being. Sporting oversized sunglasses and a casual pink off-the-shoulder tee paired with distressed white denim shorts, Britney looked every bit the relaxed vacationer.
The star was accompanied by a tattooed man, who she later clarified in a since-deleted Instagram video, is her cousin. "PS not a boyfriend, he's my cousin," she wrote, putting to rest any dating rumors. Her day under the sun included a set-up of snacks, complete with guacamole, chips, and an array of beverages.
“My lips are too dry !!! I need Carmex,” Britney quipped, adding a touch of humor to her post.
While Britney enjoys her time away, her family remains uneasy. Reports have surfaced that the "Gimme More" singer has gone radio silent, leaving her loved ones in the dark. "She isn't returning texts, won't pick up calls, and won't even read DMs," a family insider revealed to the Daily Mail, expressing their frustration.
Adding fuel to the fire, Britney shared a cheeky video from the yacht, showing her untying her neon bikini, captioned with, "I'm hungry what's cooking???" However, it wasn't all smooth sailing, as she later posted about a minor mishap – injuring herself during a boat flip.
Britney's recent behavior has been labeled "disturbing" by those close to her, who are unsure of how to reach out. The singer's estrangement from her family has been a point of tension, especially following the end of her 13-year conservatorship under her father, Jamie Spears.
Just last month, Britney was seen leaving a California wine bar with a champagne flute, though her team insisted she hadn't been drinking. Her recent driving habits have also raised eyebrows, with reports of erratic driving following a night out.
Despite the concerns, Britney celebrated her 44th birthday last Tuesday, marking another year of her iconic life, but leaving her family hoping for more connection.
