Britney Spears has checked herself into an “All Encompassing Wellness” facility due to emotional distress.
TMZ has reported that the 37-year-old star was admitted to a psychiatric facility over a week ago.
The pop star is expected to remain in care for a month.
The 37-year-old singer hinted at the break via a positive quota via Instagram post on Wednesday (3rd April): “Fall in love with taking care of yourself, mind, body, spirit”, alongside the caption: “We all need to take time for a little ‘me time.’ :)”

In January, Spears announced a hiatus from music due to her concern over her father’s ongoing health crisis over the past year, who recently underwent a second surgery to fix a ruptured colon.

It came just two months after Spears halted her famous Las Vegas residency to care for her father, explaining her position to fans on Instagram: “A couple of months ago, my father was hospitalized and almost died. We’re all so grateful that he came out of it alive, but he still has a long road ahead of him. I had to make the difficult decision to put my full focus and energy on my family at this time.”
A source told People: “Her dad being sick has taken a toll on her. He nearly died and actually had another surgery a few weeks ago. He’s not doing well. They’re so close and it has been a lot. There is nothing dramatic going on with her, she just realised she needs to make sure to take time to care for herself.”
