Britney Spears is living life as normal again

Britney Spears is back to "living her life" after returning home from her stay in a treatment facility.
The ‘Piece of Me’ hitmaker recently left a mental health treatment centre after seeking help after becoming "distraught" over her father Jamie Spears’ ongoing health battle, and sources have now said she’s back to living her life as normal.
An insider told The Blast: "Well, she’s certainly out driving and living her life, which is what all of these people who don’t understand anything about what’s going on with her have been arguing she’s not able to do."
Britney, 37, spoke out about her decision to seek treatment earlier this month, when she urged her fans not to believe the "out of control" rumours that have circled her since she entered the facility.
In a video on Instagram, she said: "Hi guys, just checking in with all of you who are concerned about me. All is well. My family has been going through a lot of stress and anxiety lately, so I just needed time to deal. Don’t worry I’ll be back very soon …
"I wanted to say hi, because things that are being said have just gotten out of control!!! Wow!!! There’s rumours, death threats to my family and my team, and just so many things crazy things being said. I am trying to take a moment for myself, but everything that’s happening is just making it harder for me. Don’t believe everything you read and hear.
"My situation is unique, but I promise I’m doing what’s best at this moment. You may not know this about me, but I am strong, and stand up for what I want! Your love and dedication is amazing, but what I need right now is a little bit of privacy to deal with all the hard things that life is throwing my way. If you could do that, I would be forever grateful. Love you (sic)"
And sources say the ‘Toxic’ singer is "very happy" to be back at home with her boyfriend Sam Asghari and her sons Sean, 13, and Jayden, 12.
One source said last week: "Britney is back at home and is very happy about it. She is spending the weekend with her boys and Sam."
