He seemed to be serving as her ultimate protector while leading the pop star through the hotel.
TMZ reported in early April that Spears has been struggling to cope with mental strain and will spend a month at the unspecified health facility.
Her sons Sean, 13, and Jayden, 12, with ex-husband Kevin Federline, have been splitting their time with their father and at their mom's home with a caregiver on the premises, a source told the outlet.
Her father Jamie had major two surgeries to correct issues regarding his intestines and colon, an insider told TMZ.
He recently had the second procedure done but has still been suffering health complications, which prompted Spears to put a hold on her Las Vegas residency to be by his side.

A source told People magazine that the singer checked into a facility for 'all-encompassing wellness treatment' so she could 'focus on herself.'
'Her dad being sick has taken a toll on her. He nearly died and actually had another surgery a few weeks ago. He's not doing well.
'They're so close and it has been a lot. There is nothing dramatic going on with her - she just realized she needs to make sure to take time to care for herself,' the source said.

She was also notoriously once photographed attacking a car with an umbrella following her 2007 divorce from Kevin Federline.
In 2008, Britney sought treatment before being hospitalized at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles due to being under the influence.
As a result, a judge ruled that Federline would have sole custody of their two young sons Sean and Jayden.

Shortly after, she was committed to the psychiatric ward of Ronald Reagan UCLA Medical Center and put on 5150 involuntary psychiatric hold.
The court then placed her under temporary - and later permanent - conservatorship of her father Jamie and attorney Andrew Wallet, giving them complete control over her assets before she was released five days later.
Jamie also has son Bryan Spears, 42, and daughter Jamie Lynn Spears, 28, with wife Lynne Spears, 63.
