Britney Spears' ex-father, Jamie, had his leg amputated

American singer, Jamie, Britney Spears' estranged father, had his leg amputated a month ago and is reportedly 'not well'.

According to TMZ: “Jamie had a serious infection in one of his legs that sent him to the hospital for weeks. He underwent five unsuccessful surgeries to contain the infection and doctors decided the only way to proceed was amputation.

According to the publication, Britney is making peace with her mother Lynne, 68, and there is now hope that she can begin to repair her fractured relationship with her father, 71, following their conservatorship dispute.

The site reports that Jamie is unwell, adding: “He has had other illnesses and is dejected amid the torrent of criticism over his handling of the conservatorship… something he finds terribly unfair.

Jamie was the one who moved from Louisiana to care for her daughter in 2007. Many people involved at that time say Jamie may have saved Britney's life.

The latest news comes after it was revealed that Britney's mother Lynne is trying to get closer to her daughter after their relationship fell apart following the dissolution of their conservatorship.

After recently reuniting with Britney on her 42nd birthday — he's “really making an effort to be in Britney's life,” a source told PEOPLE on Monday.

'Her mother loves her. There is no doubt about it,” the source said.

However, they noted that things between the two were complicated because “Britney can be very stubborn.”

Lynne was trying to overcome this obstacle by apologizing to her daughter as she divorced her husband Sam Asghari.

They added that Lynne also “takes full blame” for the feud that developed between them.

'Lynne is really making an effort to be in Britney's life. She enjoys spending time with her,” the source continued. “They have a complicated relationship, but it seems like they both need each other.”

Photos obtained by TMZ showed Lynne leaving Britney's manager Cade Hudson's home the morning after her birthday, suggesting that she and Britney spent the night together.

A second source told People that “being together and celebrating (Britney's) birthday was a really good time for the family.”
