Earlier this month, pop star Britney Spears checked into a mental health and wellness facility in the hopes of dealing with her complicated feelings surrounding her father’s illness. Fans will recall that her father had suffered a ruptured colon last year and ever since then, has experienced a number of setbacks.
But on Thursday (April 25,) it was time for the “Toxic” hit maker to go home.

According to People magazine, Spears was picked up by her boyfriend Sam Asghari and quickly driven home in hopes of getting back to normal.
Earlier this week, Spears headed to her Instagram page to talk to her fans to ensure them that she was, in fact, getting better.
“Hi guys, just checking in with all of you who are concerned about me,” the pop star said in a video shared on Instagram Tuesday (April 23.) “All is well. My family has been going through a lot of stress and anxiety lately, so I just needed time to deal. Don’t worry I’ll be back very soon.”
