Britney Spears’ mom, Lynne Spears, has reportedly fallen on hard times following yet another fallout from her multimillionaire daughter.
“She is struggling to pay her bills,” a source claimed to the Daily Mail Tuesday before alleging that Lynne, 68, took up a part-time job as a substitute teacher to try and make ends meet.
“She has already substituted for several classes at [a local school],” the insider claimed.
The source then alleged that the Spears matriarch found herself with money woes after her “complicated relationship” with Britney, 42, “seriously impacted” her finances.
Page Six has been unable to independently confirm the anonymous insider’s claims. Lynne and her attorneys could not immediately be reached for comment.
However, according to the Louisiana native’s Instagram bio, her profession is listed as a Rodan and Fields independent consultant, which can make anywhere from $18,000 to $110,000 annually, per Indeed.com.
She also appears to run a blog called “The MustardSeeds” with four other friends, in which they often post about local shops and restaurants near where they reside. However, it appears to be more of a passion project than a side hustle since they don’t have a major following.
When Lynne’s children, including Britney, Bryan and Jamie Lynn Spears, were growing up, she ran her own preschool and daycare center but she has not posted about teaching on social media recently.
However, the mother of three did try to seek financial assistance from her eldest daughter last year.
In April 2022, nearly five months after Britney’s conservatorship was officially terminated, Lynne asked for the Grammy winner to pay the legal fees she accrued during the guardianship.

Lynne, who had attended the hearings as an “interested party,” was seeking for Britney to cover the $660,000-plus bill.
“While acknowledging that the requested fee is in the six figures, [Lynne] respectfully suggests that the request pales in comparison to the millions and millions of dollars that were spent by Jamie Spears to keep [Britney] in her untenable conservatorship, and to perform activities that [Britney] did not request, and that were not in her best interest,” her attorneys argued in court docs obtained by Page Six.
However, Britney’s attorney, Mathew Rosegart, quickly shot down that request noting that there was “no legal basis” for it and that his client had been her family’s “breadwinner” for years.
He also pointed out in his filing that Lynne “for at least a decade resided in a large, expansive house owned by Britney Spears in Kentwood, La., for which her daughter has also continuously — and generously — paid Lynne Spears’ utilities, telephone services, insurance, property taxes, landscaping, pool work, pest control, repairs and maintenance, totaling approximately $1.7 million.”
Six months later, in October 2022, Lynne withdrew her request, according to the Blast.
The “Through the Storm” author and “Toxic” singer were then able to work on repairing their relationship for a brief period of time.
They reunited in May of this year, but after Sam Asghari filed for divorce from Britney in August, the Princess of Pop was once again not on good terms with her family.
“Her meeting with her mom went OK, but there’s still a lot of hurt there, so they haven’t quite reconciled,” a source told us at the time. “Britney is still very angry with [her sister] Jamie Lynn [Spears], too.”
While Lynne is reportedly struggling, Britney has continued to roll out successful projects.
She released a song called “Mind Your Business” with Will.i.am in July, has a highly anticipated memoir titled, “The Woman in Me,” due out on Oct. 24 and her 2002 film, “Crossroads,” will be re-released soon.
A source exclusively confirmed to Page Six Saturday that the music icon will “financially profit” from the redistribution of the rom-com film in theaters on Oct. 23 and 25.
