Jamie, who recently had his leg amputated, has not heard from Britney in recent days, making a family reunion unlikely at this time, according to reports TMZ.
The outlet's source also said that Jamie plans to vacation with his other daughter, Jamie Lynn Spears.
Britney and Jamie have had a huge falling out after she accused him of abusing her conservatorship, which he was in charge of for 13 years until its dissolution in November 2021.
A source told DailyMail that Britney will 'never' reconcile with her estranged father, even in the wake of his ill health and leg amputation, as she refuses to forgive the man who 'hurt her' in ways that are 'unimaginable' are.
“There's no way Britney will reconcile with her father,” the insider told DailyMail.com exclusively. “He hurt her unimaginably 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 spoke at length about the 'abuse' she suffered from her 'alcoholic' father over the course of several years.
She claimed that he closely monitored her every action and viewed her solely as the family's “financial resource.”
Furthermore, she claimed that her father forced her into a new rehabilitation program in 2018 by threatening legal action, warning that she would look “an idiot” if she refused.

Jamie opened up about Britney during an interview with The Mail on Sunday last year, claiming he thought she would lose her life if she hadn't been put into guardianship.
“Not everyone will agree with me,” he said. 'It's been a great time. But I love my daughter with all my heart and soul. Where would Britney be now without that conservatorship? And I don't know if she would still be alive. Not me.
The news comes a day after Britney was said to be ready to bury the hatchet with her sister Jamie Lynn.
The pop star, 42, appears to be channeling “peace on earth and goodwill to all men” after watching Jamie Lynn's recent appearance on I'm a Celeb and realizing there's no better time for reconciliation than the holidays, according to The sun.
“Britney was supportive of Jamie Lynn going into the jungle and she spent her time in Australia with some interest,” an insider told the news source on Friday.

“A lot of water has passed under that bridge and since it's Christmas, Britney would like to try and work through some of their past issues.”
The alleged olive branch comes just weeks after Britney celebrated her birthday with mom Lynn Spears, after the couple spent years estranged following the singer's feud with the family over her 13-year conservatorship.
“Britney has said she would like to meet Jamie Lynn if they can make it happen,” The Sun's source continued. “She spent time with her mother over the summer and now she wants to see if she can do the same with Jamie Lynn.”
The insider added, “They are sisters at the end of the day and even though they've had their fair share of run-ins 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 competing on I'm a Celeb, but when she did open up about her longtime sibling, it was “all positive and glowing,” the source said.

Britney and Jamie have had a complicated relationship growing up as a famous family and later dealing with Britney's strict conservatorship imposed by her father.
Britney only got Jamie Lynn into hot water in January this year when she criticized her for saying “it was hard” being her sibling.
In a July interview with VarietyJamie Lynn said she has “absolute love” for Britney, but admitted the backlash she received from the “Free Britney” movement and her big sister's scathing messages were “hard” for her to deal with.
Going back further in January 2022, Jamie Lynn claimed in her tell-all book that her sister Britney once locked them in a room together while she held 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.”
