It is unclear what Spears’ connection to Birmingham is. She currently resides in an Italian villa-style home on a 21-acre property in California.
Her maternal great-grandmother, Lillian Portell, was English but was born in London rather than Birmingham.
Spears visited Birmingham in 2018 when she performed at the Genting Arena following her four year residency in Las Vegas.
The … Baby One More Time singer often shares videos of her dance routines on Instagram, and offers fans a personal insight into her day-to-day life.
She published a memoir, The Woman In Me, last October after being freed from a restrictive conservatorship which controlled her life and money for nearly 14 years in November 2021.
Spears has also announced a split from Sam Asghari, her estranged husband. They tied the knot at a star-studded ceremony at the US singer’s home in Los Angeles in June 2022 after meeting on the set of the Slumber Party music video in 2016.
Their wedding was attended by high-profile guests including Madonna, Selena Gomez, Drew Barrymore and Paris Hilton.
However, the couple announced their split in August 2023, citing “irreconcilable differences” in their court filings, and their divorce is reportedly set to be finalised later this year.
