Britney Spears Heartbreak Binge: Pop Icon Gains 20lbs as Pals Raise Concerns

A new report claims that Britney Spears' friends suggest that she has been indulging in unhealthy eating habits, abandoning diets and nutritious meals in favor of consuming junk food to cope with her emotional struggles.

Upon her return from a relaxing getaway in Mexico, the 42-year-old "Toxic" singer was sighted at Van Nuys airport, indulging in delicacies and beverages without concern for prying eyes.

An insider told Radar Online, "Food is one of the big comforts she has in life, whether she's on holiday or at home."

"She loves Mexican food and those slushy cocktails, but it gives her just as much of a thrill to tuck into a burger and fries and shake. It reminds her of happier times and makes her feel good."

Spears' food favorites have shifted from whipping up healthy meals in the kitchen to ordering indulgent treats like pizza, mac and cheese, and chili dogs loaded with onions and cheese.

Additionally, the insider said that the "Womanizer" hitmaker has been enjoying cocktails and late-night snacks lately. They noted that Spears has taken a break from her intense workout regime, which was previously created by her ex-husband and trainer, Sam Asghari.

The insider revealed, "Keeping up with the workouts isn't going so well and is a thing of the past.

"Fans have noticed she's put on weight too, with one guessing she's gained 15 to 20 pounds."

Her binge-eating is reportedly due to her divorce from Asghari. She also has taken to sharing weird videos that have caused concern from everybody who knows her.

Adding to the tension, Spears reportedly has formed a relationship with her ex-housekeeper, Paul Richard Soliz, a convicted criminal.

The tipster disclosed, "On the positive side, she's reunited with her sons, Sean, 18, and Jayden, 17, who live with their dad, her ex Kevin Federline, but whether it will last is another question."

"Everyone knows her life isn't going as well as she'd like and eating is her way out of the pain."

News of Spears' unhealthy eating comes after her food revelation in January 2024 where she shared with her Instagram followers that she is a self-proclaimed "passionate eater" and opened up about her body image in a recent social media update, according to People magazine.

She posted in at the time, "Food is my weakness I will admit it !!!"

The "Baby One More Time" singer also opened up about her weight, revealing that it tends to remain consistent.

"I'm usually 135 on scale ... that's my normal weight !!! Well that's good for me," she wrote, adding, "I want to be 125 - 128 but I'm probably gonna do 140 now that this damn BLAZE coffee place has opened !!! DAMN !!!"

It's still best to take Radar Online's report with a grain of salt.
