The outlet states that Jamie, 68, is living on the outskirts of the town, not far from the Mississippi border, in an RV after recently selling the home that the "Toxic" singer, now 39, grew up in.

"Britney’s relationship with her father is complicated but mendable especially if he has a real desire to not act on her behalf and just wants to be there for her as a support and sounding board," a source privy to the family matter told Fox News. "Sure, they’re a bit estranged but really as a result of the control he’s had over her all these years – it’s almost like a family business except the business is Britney."
