Why does Britney Spears' boyfriend barely post about her

22 replies

His feed is all of himself with a rare photo of him and Britney.

She raves about him often and it feels a bit unbalanced.

They are engaged to be married although I think she already calls him her husband.

I hope she isn't being taken advantage of.

(Again)

You should ask him, he's probably the only one who can tell you.

I stopped following Britney on Instagram, she doesn't come across as someone who is mentally well and it felt a bit voyeuristic watching her breakdown about her sister and her family online.

Why should he? Perhaps he respects her enough to not want to use her to promote his own image. Instead of taking advantage of her, this demonstrates a respect for her own agency.

You're a "glass half full" person aren't you? 🙈

It's really sad what happened to her. I'm not sure he's a positive influence

BulletTrain · 11/04/2022 07:52

His Instagram looks like more of a curated influencer feed because he's a model and personal trainer. It's not happy snapshots of his day.

He's been around for 6 years so I don't particularly get red flag vibes.

SalmonEile · 11/04/2022 07:53

I’m on the fence,
I think if he was posting about her more people would think he was taking advantage or using her to get attention
Or maybe he doesn’t want his comment section flooded by her fans
Britney posts these rants and then deletes them when they’ve already been screenshotted by her fans and reposted instantly - I hope she knows that’s happening
I want to hope for her sake he’s a decent guy but only time will tell

ChiselandBits · 11/04/2022 07:53

No idea about Britney or who her BF is, but I post stuff about / with my dp whereas he only posts (rarely) about some hobby related thing. He just doesn't use it in the same way. As far as why famous people ie strangers do anything, we hae literally no way of knowing.

Georgeskitchen · 11/04/2022 08:04

Maybe he respects her privacy

Mrsjayy · 11/04/2022 08:12

Isn't he a personal trainer or something? I imagine his SM will be about him and his "brand "and not really a personal account.

They've been together almost 6 years, how much time do you need?

RitaFires · 11/04/2022 08:33

Surely if he posted about her all the time he'd be seen as using her for likes and followers? I don't think he can win either way.

He seems like the most healthy relationship she's ever had. I hope she can find some happiness after all she's been through.

comealongponds · 11/04/2022 08:47

YABU If he posted about her loads people would say he’s just using her for her fame.

Exactly.

Hasn’t she had enough people trying to control her and her image, without being made the main topic of someone else’s social media?

pinkyredrose · 11/04/2022 09:08

Maybe he doesn't relish the thought of his relationship being broadcast to the world? Do you think if someone doesn't post constantly about thier other half that they don't care about them or something? Hmm

He has posted about fatherhood, seemingly announcing they are having a baby.

TBF I’ve noticed this irl, women who have their partners all over their SM but the mans profile no mention of their partner at all

ChiefWiggumsBoy · 12/04/2022 23:19

I don’t know. I don’t post pics of my husband either.

MurmuratingStarling · 12/04/2022 23:21

Why on earth should he? Confused

BeforeGodAndAllTheFish · 12/04/2022 23:25

She announced her pregnancy yesterday.
Of course he is going to mention it as well.

But his feed is his brand. Polished and professional. He isnt going to fill it with personal life posts, but he does have to occasionally put something up as (as you've shown) people are curious.

I think it would be worse if he posted about her a lot. He'd be using her image to forward his own career.

They've been together for years. He seems low key. That might actually be a good thing.

I’ve noticed this too. Even down to wedding pictures - I’ve seen women’s profiles covered in them and you wouldn’t even be able to tell the husband was married.

housemaus · 12/04/2022 23:33

Why does it matter either way?

DH and I rarely mention each other on social media. My Instagram is my hobby photography because I'm into fixing old cameras, he rarely posts anything other than new beers he's tried because he's a craft beer wanker beer fan.

He might have occasionally tagged me in a photo on Facebook when we still had that, but I don't think I ever did!

It doesn't have to be sinister. Some people share more than others.
