Representatives for Britney, Lynne, and Jamie Lynn did not immediately respond to Insider's request for comment.
E! News reported that Jamie Lynn subtly supported her sister by liking one of the outlet's tweets about the wedding.
In addition to Britney's parents and sister, neither of Britney's two sons appeared at the wedding ceremony. A lawyer for her children's father, Kevin Federline, told People that they didn't want to take the spotlight away from their mother.
The last few years were particularly tumultuous for the Spears family, who found herself in the public eye amid Britney's conservatorship battle. Previously, Britney was placed under a conservatorship in 2008 after several public outbursts. Under the conservatorship, Britney had no legal control over her estate and assets, as that power was granted to her father and her attorney, Andrew Wallet.
Although fans of Spears' heralded the #FreeBritney movement, it didn't gain widespread attention until February 2021 when The New York Times released the "Framing Britney Spears" documentary.
The exposure prompted fans to criticize the conservatorship, Britney's family members, and even former partners like Justin Timberlake.
As Britney continued to petition to end the conservatorship, she spoke out against her family several times — especially Jamie Lynn. Jamie Lynn became a trustee of a portion of Britney's estate in 2018, according to The Blast. The Los Angeles Times reported that Jamie Lynn sought more control over Britney's assets in August 2020.
The siblings also appeared to disagree about Jamie Lynn's memoir, "Things I Should Have Said," which caused Britney to accuse Jamie Lynn of trying to "sell a book" at her expense.
Britney said in June 2021 that she wanted to "sue" her family and later called Jamie Lynn "scum."
Britney was freed from her conservatorship in November 2021 after 13 years.
