Cade Hudson: Britney Spears’ Manager and Best Friend Identified in Shirtless Instagram Snap

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Britney Spears’ shirtless mystery man in her now-deleted Instagram photo has been identified as her current manager and best friend of fourteen years, according to the Daily Mail.

The 41-year-old pop star left her fans puzzled when she posted a photo on November 21, which she later deleted, showing a shirtless man taking a selfie with his back reflected in a mirror. Spears identified the man as her “uncle” in the caption, sparking curiosity among her followers.

The man in question is Cade Hudson, who has been working as Spears’ manager since 2022. Before his role as her manager, Hudson worked as an agent at the Los Angeles-based talent company Creative Artists Agency, representing actors such as Gwyneth Paltrow, Bella Thorne, and Johnny Knoxville. He also had experience as a publicist in the marketing and brand management firm Full Picture, according to the Los Angeles Times.

Hudson has been a close friend and supporter of Spears for many years, frequently seen in photographs with her. He openly advocated for her freedom during her battle to end the conservatorship imposed by her father, Jamie Spears. In a post on his private Instagram account, Hudson called for an end to the invasive scrutiny and labeled it as “sexism at its best.”

In the post, Hudson revealed that he had kept quiet for over 12 years due to fear of losing his job and career. He expressed his frustration with the threats and harassment he received for supporting Spears. He concluded the post with the hashtag #FREEBRITNEY, declaring his public support for the movement.

Hudson’s identification as the mystery man in Spears’ Instagram photo has shed light on their close relationship and his unwavering support for her throughout her struggles. As her manager, he has played a crucial role in her career and has become a strong advocate for her freedom.
