Britney Spears and her agent-fiance Jason Trawick announced their split on Friday after weeks of breakup rumors. Insiders now say it was Trawick who finally decided to end the relationship because he was tired of worrying about her mental health.
“Jason has been very stressed and concerned for Britney and what she might do if he left. He is worried about her and really loved her, but it started to take a real toll on him. The burden of taking care instead of a partnership where she also takes care,” an insider tells Fox411’s Pop Tarts.
Trawick was named co-conservator of the pop star shortly after their December 2011 engagement. The conservatorship gave him the power to make decisions about Spears’ general well being. Spears’ father Jamie was granted the conservatorship in 2008 after the singer’s public meltdown and involuntary psychiatric hold at Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center.
"It was exhausting for Jason and not the way he wanted to live his life," the source adds. "But this is best for both of them."
Trawick resigned as co-conservator last Friday.
The split appears to be amicable. "Jason and I have decided to call off our engagement," Spears, who has two sons with ex-husband Kevin Federline, said in a statement. "I'll always adore him and we will remain great friends."
Trawick added: "As this chapter ends for us a new one begins. I love and cherish her and her boys and we will be close forever."
