According to TMZ, Jamie, who recently had his leg amputated, has not heard from Britney in recent days, making a family reunion unlikely at this point.
The outlet's source also said that Jamie is planning a holiday visit with his other daughter, Jamie Lynn Spears.
Britney and Jamie had a heated argument after she accused him of taking advantage of her conservatorship, which he held for 13 years until its dissolution in November 2021.
A source told DailyMail that Britney will “never” reconcile with her estranged father, even after his failing health and leg amputation, as she refuses to forgive the man who “hurt” her in an “unimaginable” way.
“There is never a chance that Britney will reconcile with her father,” the insider told exclusively. “He hurt her in unimaginable ways and no matter what happens to his health, she will never forgive the man, dead or alive.”
In her latest memoir, The Woman in Me, Britney detailed the “abuse” she suffered at the hands of her “alcoholic” father over several years.
She claimed that he closely monitored her every action and viewed her solely as a “financial resource” for the family.
Additionally, she claimed that her father forced her into another rehabilitation program in 2018, threatening legal action and warning that she would appear as an “idiot” if she refused.

During an interview with The Mail on Sunday last year, Jamie spoke about Britney and claimed he believed she could have lost her life if she had not been placed under a conservatorship.
“Not everyone will agree with me,” he said. “It was a hell of a time. But I love my daughter with all my heart and soul. Where would Britney be now without this conservatorship? And I don't know if she would still be alive. I don't.
The news comes a day after Britney was reportedly ready to bury the hatchet with her little sister Jamie Lynn.

“A lot of water has flowed under this bridge and with it being Christmas, Britney is keen to try and sort out some of her past issues.”
The alleged olive branch comes a few weeks after Britney celebrated her birthday with mother Lynn Spears after the two were estranged for years following the singer's falling out with the family during her 13-year conservatorship.
“Britney has said she would like to meet Jamie Lynn if they could make it happen,” The Sun’s source continued. “She spent time with her mother over the summer and now she would like to see if she could do the same with Jamie Lynn.”
The insider added: “At the end of the day, they are sisters and while they have had their fair share of conflict over the years, it's time to finally see if they can put their past to rest.”
As for Jamie Lynn, the actress said little about Britney while on I'm a Celeb, but when she did talk about her elder sibling, everything was “completely positive and bright,” the source said.

Britney and Jamie had a complicated relationship as they grew up as a famous family and later had to deal with their father's strict guardianship.
Britney only sent Jamie Lynn into a tizzy in January this year when she criticized her for saying it was “hard” being her siblings.
In a July interview with Variety, Jamie Lynn said she feels “absolute love” for Britney, but admitted that the backlash she received from the “Free Britney” movement and her big sister's scathing posts was “hard “was bearable for them.
In January 2022, Jamie Lynn claimed in her tell-all book that her sister Britney once locked her in a room with a knife.
In the book Things I Should Have Said, the mother-of-two also claimed that Britney's behavior over the years has been “erratic, paranoid and spiraling.”
