Britney Spears has had a public show of support from her boyfriend Sam Asghari ahead of her virtual appearance in court in the next step of her conservatorship battle.
The 39-year-old pop princess is going to speak to the judge personally in a bid to have her father Jamie Spears removed from the conservatorship, claiming he is "obsessive" and "controlling".
Personal trainer Sam, 27, posted a selfie on Instagram of him wearing a white t-shirt which has "Free Britney" emblazoned across the front, in what seems to be a hand painted design.
This will be the first time that Britney has addressed the court about the conservatorship, which was placed upon her in 2008 after she had a public breakdown and suffered with mental health issues.
Fans launched the #FreeBritney campaign to support the singer's long held belief that she should be freed of her father's control.
Sam has been hailed as a "huge support" for Britney who looks to boost her ahead of the stresses and stains of a court appearance.
A source told Page Six: "Sam has been a huge support for Britney. He helps boost her confidence and assures her that everything will go well.
“He has been following the #FreeBritney movement online for a while now and always tells Britney how much she’s loved and supported by fans."
Britney started dating Sam in 2016 and will be facing Judge Brenda Penny for the first time when she appears virtually at Los Angeles County Superior Court.
Britney and her 68-year-old father, Jamie Spears, are believed to have fallen out after the she took issue with some of the people her father assigned to work with her in her professional life and the star wants him removed from her conservatorship so he can no longer make decisions about her work and personal life.
The star’s conservatorship is currently shared between her father and Jodi Montgomery – Britney’s longtime care manager, who was appointed by a court to hold joint conservatorship with Jamie in 2019.
