AceShowbiz - Britney Spears is no stranger to filming herself for sexy dance videos, but she felt a bit shy in front of camera during one of her latest outings. The singer was trying to hide from paparazzi when she was caught hanging out with her troubled ex Paul Richard Soliz.
On Thursday, April 25, the pop icon was photographed for the first time since she settled her conservatorship case with her estranged father Jamie Spears. In photos circulating online, she was riding shotgun with her ex Paul driving as they cruised around the San Fernando Valley in California.
Britney apparently did not notice the presence of paparazzi at first, pulling down the window on her side. She, however, leaned all the way down in the passenger seat of the Mercedes SUV while Paul also covered his face with his hand as they passed through the paparazzi.
The "...Baby One More Time" hitmaker tried to avoid the camera by going completely horizontal, extending her legs forward and rolling up the windows. At one point, she even cracked the windshield of the front of the car with the heel of her pump after letting them rest on the dashboard.
Britney opted for a business casual look for the outing, wearing a blue-and-white striped button-down shirt with blue skinny jeans. She also sported orange pumps and white-rimmed aviator sunglasses while holding her phone in her hand.
Seemingly matching Britney's look, Paul went with a blue plaid shirt during the outing.
Britney previously denied dating Paul, who is her former housekeeper. In February, she captioned a video of her dancing on Instagram, "Hopeless, romantic understanding that being single is awesome !!!" after Us Weekly reported that they were "definitely together."
"Britney and Paul are definitely together," a source said of the twosome, who was first spotted together in October 2023. "He's still in the picture." A second source added, "She doesn't like it when he leaves," explaining that Paul, who is an ex-convict, works full-time and has to tend to family obligations. According to the informant, "[Britney] feels as though she deserves more attention, but he has to be there for his kids."
The second source said Paul has introduced Britney to his children and even taken them horseback riding. "She's great with [the kids], and they like her," the source dished, adding that the Grammy winner was particularly fond of Paul's 7-year-old son. "That's her favorite. They just click," the source claimed.
Meanwhile, Britney's team was reportedly suspicious of Paul, who has had criminal records including charges for multiple misdemeanors and felonies. However, the second source maintained that "[Paul] loves her company and he's not seeing anyone else, but [who knows] what she does when he's not around."
