Britney Spears’ mother Lynne is ‘hopeful’ she’ll return to her Louisiana hometown for Christmas

Britney Spears’ formerly-estranged mother Lynne Spears is reportedly ‘hopeful’ she’ll return to her Louisiana hometown to spend the Christmas holiday with family after making amends.

However, the 42-year-old Grammy winner still hasn’t scheduled any travel arrangements to return to her 68-year-old mother’s Kentwood home at this point – according to TMZ.

Britney’s $11.8M Calabasas mansion could feel even lonelier next week considering her third husband Sam Asghari filed for divorce from her in August after 13 months of marriage, but he did sign a prenuptial agreement.

Spears is also estranged from her two sons – Jayden James, 17; and Sean Preston, 18 – who moved to Oahu on August 1 with her back-up dancer-turned-ex-husband #2, Kevin Federline.

The Woman In Me author continues to pay her 45-year-old ex – whom she was only married to for two years ending 2007 – $20K a month in child support.

‘With family there’s always things that need to be worked out, but time heals all wounds!’ the semi-retired pop star – who boasts 42.7M Instagram followers – wrote on May 25.

Lynne has co-written three books about Britney – Britney Spears’ Heart to Heart (2000), A Mother’s Gift (2001), and Through the Storm: A Real Story of Fame and Family in a Tabloid World (2008).

On Monday, Spears (born Bridges) joined her daughter Jamie Lynn Spears, 15-year-old granddaughter Maddie Aldridge, and five-year-old granddaughter Ivey Watson for festive fun at The Roosevelt New Orleans, a Waldorf Astoria Hotel.

Meanwhile, Spears is still locked in a legal battle with her estranged father Jamie Spears, whose right leg was amputated ‘4in above his knee’ in October due to an infection.
