Since then, sadly, the pop singer\u2019s freedom has unleashed fresh fears for the 42-year-old. The latest in a series of worrying chapters came at the start of this month when her on-off boyfriend Paul Soliz \u2013 who used to work at her house in Thousand Oaks, California \u2013 moved into her mansion in Thousand Oaks, California, with three of his nine children.<\/p>\n Aside from the fact her divorce from Sam Asghari was only finalised in May, the new relationship with Soliz has those around her concerned for many reasons. Spears started dating the 38-year-old, who was working as a maintenance worker for her, shortly after her split from Asghari last September. Red flags immediately emerged when he was fired after it was discovered that he was convicted of felony possession of a firearm in December 2022. On 11 September 2023, he was in court for alleged probation violation in relation to that charge. He has also been charged with multiple misdemeanours over the years, including child endangerment, disturbing the peace and driving without a licence.<\/p>\n While this ruled Soliz out as Spears\u2019 housekeeper, it didn\u2019t deter her from dating him. Last week, his estranged wife, Nicole Mancilla, filed for divorce citing \u2018irreconcilable differences\u2019 and also filed for legal and physical custody of their five minor children. She claims that she and Soliz were still together when his relationship with the singer first started.<\/p>\n Mancilla\u2019s mother, Sandra Smith, has since called him a \u2018deadbeat dad\u2019 on The Drew Lane Show podcast, claimed Soliz doesn\u2019t pay child support and then made a plea for him to return the three kids \u2018he took\u2019 to live at Spears\u2019 house. At the time of going to press, Soliz had not responded to these claims.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text module_class=”custom-quote” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” header_2_font=”Libre Bodoni|||on|||||” header_2_text_align=”center” header_2_text_color=”#333333″ header_2_font_size=”40px” header_2_line_height=”1.2em” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n All of which appears to spell trouble for the Toxic singer. In May, for example, the paramedics were called after Spears allegedly injured her foot during an altercation when she was with Soliz at Chateau Marmont in LA. Two months later, Spears took to Instagram to declare herself \u2018single as f*ck\u2019 and said she \u2018will never be with another man\u2019 as long as she lives, with sources later claiming she felt Soliz was taking advantage of her. A month later, she was spotted with him and three of his kids at a trampoline park.<\/p>\n The growing worry, then, is that history may be repeating itself. \u2018Britney has a long history of picking love interests and hangers-on who are bad news,\u2019 a source close to the situation tells Grazia. \u2018Besides his criminal record, he is by all accounts not a stable presence in her life.\u2019<\/p>\n When Spears had multiple breakdowns in 2007 and 2008 \u2013 most famously shaving her head and hitting a photographer\u2019s car with an umbrella \u2013 it ultimately led to the messy, public breakdown of her marriage to Kevin Federline, which cost her custody of their two sons, sparked her controversial conservatorship, and led to some harmful relationships, including one with Adnan Ghalib, a paparazzi photographer she dated in 2008 for three months before her father filed a restraining order against him. <\/p>\n \u2018It\u2019s clear that Britney is in a lonely, vulnerable place, and the fear is that Paul is monopolising that,\u2019 Grazia\u2019s source says. \u2018The ultimate worry now he\u2019s divorcing his wife is that Britney might marry him.\u2019<\/p>\n None of this is helped by the fact Spears is currently said to be isolating herself from friends and family.. She reportedly has little contact with her immediate family, aside from her brother Bryan.<\/p>\n As someone with a well-documented fragile mental state, it\u2019s easy to understand why those who care about her are wary of this relationship \u2013 as things currently stand, they have every right to be.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_divider color=”#111111″ divider_position=”center” divider_weight=”2px” module_class=”custom-divider” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][\/et_pb_divider][et_pb_text module_class=”credit-texts” _builder_version=”4.20.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”|||on|||||” text_orientation=”center” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n IMAGE: GETTY<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Red flags immediately emerged when he was fired after it was discovered that he was convicted of felony possession of a firearm in December 2022<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":4269,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"on","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","_lmt_disableupdate":"","_lmt_disable":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[8],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-4268","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-feature"],"acf":[],"modified_by":"kschwarz","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4268","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/11"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4268"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4268\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4274,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4268\/revisions\/4274"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4269"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4268"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4268"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/flatplanplus.io\/grazia\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4268"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
