Britney Spears is anything but quiet on social media nowadays, referencing everything from an alleged hook-up she had with Ben Affleck to her opinion on Justin Timberlake’s new music, and that’s only in the last month. But the pop star has been relatively silent about what’s going on in her personal life, including if she’s dating anyone as she navigates her ongoing divorce from Sam Asghari.

However, according to a new report, it appears Britney is still dating the ex-employee she was alleged to be seeing last year, even though his criminal history has caused concern among fans.

Contrary to earlier reports of Britney Spears and Paul Richard Soliz parting ways in September 2023, numerous sources recently informed Us Weekly that the pop star is still in a relationship with her former housekeeper.

Apparently, the couple are doing their best to keep their relationship on the down low, likely due to the controversy it caused last year when their romance first made headlines.

“She doesn’t like it when he leaves,” a second source explained, adding that Soliz, 37, has children as well as a full-time job that take him away from the pop star at times. “[Britney] feels as though she deserves more attention, but he has to be there for his kids.”

Although they seldom venture out for formal dates, they embark on road trips to Santa Barbara, and Soliz spends two or three nights a week at her residence, the source alleged.

Even though Britney reportedly hasn’t seen the sons she shares with her ex-husband Kevin Federline in over a year, she’s apparently met her boyfriend’s children and gets along with them. The second insider says she likes to take them horseback riding.

“She’s great with [the kids], and they like her,” they explained, adding she has a special bond with Soliz’s 7-year old son. “That’s her favorite. They just click.”
