Britney Spears sparked intrigue when she posted a now-deleted Instagram snap of a shirtless man she identified as her ‘uncle’ on Tuesday night – with the bizarre caption: ‘What if his back is my face?’
However – the mystery man has been revealed to be 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 staffer 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.
At the time, Cade was Spears’ agent and very much on team #FreeBritney, even sharing a post on his private Instagram account referencing a ‘threatened and silenced’ person believed to have been Rudolph.
‘Even if people don’t see it now, it will come out. To the ones who should be worried, you know who you are too,’ wrote Hudson – according to TMZ.

‘The nonsense needs to end, and the healing process needs to begin. The lord tends to pay those people back in his own ways. So for the first time I’m publicly saying #FREEBRITNEY.’
The former publicist frequently accompanies the semi-retired pop star on LA outings, vacations, and could even be seen in the background of her dance/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 to the LA Times he was only a drunk 23-year-old PR assistant with no access at the time.
Britney’s critically-acclaimed memoir The Woman In Me has spent an impressive three weeks atop the New York Times’ Bestsellers Non-Fiction list.
Simon & Schuster paid Spears a $12.5M advance (25% of the net profits) to pen the 288-page tell-all with 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 on the rights to make a potential limited TV series based on the book.
On the personal front, Britney’s third husband Sam Asghari filed for divorce from her in August after just 13 months of wedded bliss, but he did sign a prenuptial agreement.
