Bryan Spears

Britney Spears celebrated her 42nd birthday and best pal Cade Hudson in Los Angeles this week. Bryan Spears, a four-year-old cousin, attended the special occasion with a select group of relatives, including her brother Bryan Spears. However, the festivities may have been postponed, as she, Cade and Bryan were seen emerging from the house late at night.

In her latest Instagram post, Britney Spears expressed nothing but admiration for her brother Bryan Spears. On Tuesday night, the 41-year-old pop icon, who opened her book'very close' to Bryan, took to social media to post a rare snapshot of the film maker, 46, on Tuesday night. 'My big brother who's like a dad and my best friend !!' Bryan was snapped sporting green safety coveralls and a hard hat, according to her. 'I'm not sure what's going on with this outfit,' says the designer.

In her latest book, The Woman in Me, the singer, 41, discussed her'very close' friendship with her older brother Bryan Spears, and how she and him began sharing a room after he was injured in a horrific fire that resulted in him 'breaking virtually every bone in his body.' The Hit Me Baby One More Time singer explained that the'much closer' incident brought them so'much closer,' since they bonded over her'sincere, genuine concern of his pain.' The hitmaker explained that she didn't want to 'leave his side,' so she started'sleeping alongside him every night.' She confessed that although she was given a separate mattress, she would often 'climb into his bed' and 'hold him' because she wanted to 'bring him warmth.'
