Britney Spears appears to be enjoying her time with close friends in the wake of her recent DUI arrest.
“Fun afternoon with some old friends,” songwriter Diane Warren wrote via Instagram on Sunday, April 5, along with a bunny emoji in honor of Easter 2026.
Warren, 69, also shared a selfie featuring friends Spears, 44, and Saturday Night Live alum Molly Shannon, as well as Spears’ manager and longtime friend, Cade Hudson.
The pop star gave the camera the middle finger while posing with her friends and holding what appeared to be a cocktail, though it is unclear if the drink contained any alcohol. The singer wore a black hat, matching black sunglasses, black fingerless gloves, what appeared to be a white scarf and a burnt orange top.
Britney Spears Is 3 Weeks Sober, Attending AA Meetings After DUI Arrest
Spears was pulled over on March 4 after California Highway Patrol Ventura Communications Center received a report of a black BMW driving erratically at a high rate of speed on the 101 freeway. After authorities claimed the singer showed signs of impairment, she was arrested on suspicion of driving under the influence of a combination of drugs and alcohol and booked into Ventura County Main Jail. The pop star was released three hours later.
Chemical tests are pending and the incident is still under investigation at the time of publication. Spears’ court date is currently scheduled for Monday, May 4.
“This was an unfortunate incident that is completely inexcusable,” Spears’ rep told Us Weekly in a statement following the arrest. “Britney is going to take the right steps and comply with the law, and hopefully this can be the first step in long overdue change that needs to occur in Britney’s life. Hopefully, she can get the help and support she needs during this difficult time.”
The rep added that Spears had plans to spend time with her sons, Preston, 20, and Jayden, 19, whom she shares with ex-husband Kevin Federline, in the wake of her arrest. (Spears and Federline divorced in 2007 after three years of marriage. The singer moved on with Sam Asghari, whom she was married to from 2022 to 2023.)
“Her boys are going to be spending time with her,” the statement continued. “Her loved ones are going to come up with an overdue, needed plan to set her up for success for well-being.”

On Friday, April 3, Us exclusively confirmed that Spears’ sons have started going by their mother’s world-famous last name. Preston and Jaydon, however, have not made any legal changes to their monikers.
