Britney’s brother Bryan is 45 years old, and he has a daughter named Sophia Alexandra “Lexie” Spears whom he shares with his ex-wife Graciella Sanchez. Unfortunately, Bryan was not able to see Britney walk down the aisle because Lexie was graduating from elementary school. While elementary school graduations aren’t usually celebrated too hard, Lexi made a special speech.

A source told Page Six, “Both ceremonies were around the same time. Bryan couldn’t be in two places at once and didn’t want to disappoint Lexie by running off to a wedding immediately after her moving up ceremony, where she made a special speech.” “He wanted to be there to celebrate his little girl,” the insider added.

Following the graduation, Bryan’s girlfriend shared the big news on their joint Instagram account. “Watched our little munchkin & Vice President of 5th grade become a middle schooler yesterday! We love you Lexie baby and SO proud of you,” Conklin captioned the post.

She shared more insight in the comments of another post, saying Bryan felt “terrible” for having to choose. “Bryan felt terrible having to choose but he had to be there for his daughter and sent his love to Britney x1000000 ,” the model wrote. “We are so sad to miss such an important moment but so so happy for Britney and Sam’s Marriage!,” she added, per Page Six.

Hopefully, they sent Britney and Sam a great gift!
