Britney Spears’ shirtless mystery man’s identity REVEALED (and it’s definitely not her uncle!)

Britney Spears sparked intrigue when she posted a now-deleted Instagram photo of a shirtless man she identified as her “uncle” on Tuesday night – with the bizarre caption: “What if his back is my face?”

However, it has been revealed that the mystery man is none other than the 41-year-old Grammy winner’s best friend of 14 years and current manager, Cade Hudson.

The 36-year-old former Creative Artists Agency employee began managing Britney last year after her manager of 25 years, Larry Rudolph, resigned in July 2021 – four months before her 13-year conservatorship ended.

Cade was Spears’ agent at the time and was part of team #FreeBritney, even sharing a post on his private Instagram account that referenced an “endangered and silenced” individual believed to be Rudolph.

“Even if people don’t see it now, it will come out. For those who should be concerned, you know who you are too,” Hudson wrote – according to TMZ.

“The nonsense must end and the healing process must begin. The gentleman tends to pay those people back in his own way. So for the first time, I’m publicly saying #FREEBRITNEY.”

The former publicist regularly accompanies the semi-retired pop star on trips and vacations in LA, and has even appeared in the background of her dancing/modeling videos.

In 2017, Cade was accused of offering actor Sean Rose industry connections in exchange for sex acts, but he denied the allegations and clarified with police. LA times he was just a drunk 23 year old PR assistant who had no access at the time.

Britney’s critically acclaimed memoir The Woman In Me spent a whopping three weeks at the top The New York Times bestseller in nonfiction list.

Simon & Schuster paid Spears an advance of $12.5 million (25% of net profits) to write the 288-page tell-all three alleged ghostwriters -Ada Calhoun, Sam Lansky and Luke Dempsey.

Last month, Deadline reported that ‘buyers’ are circling the Hold Me Closer hitmaker’s autobiography to make bids for the rights to make a potential limited TV series based on the book.

On a personal note, Britney’s third husband Sam Asghari archived before divorcing her in August after just 13 months of marital bliss, but he did sign a prenuptial agreement.
