They say the pop star, 42, has fallen in love with her former handyman and father-of-nine Paul Soliz after dating for almost a year.
And a path for them to tie the knot has opened up after his estranged second wife, Nicole Mancilla, filed for divorce in California earlier this month after eight years of marriage.
A source close to Britney, who first met Mr Soliz, 38, when he was hired to do maintenance work at her LA mansion in 2022, said: "Is she hoping he'll pop the question? One hundred per cent yes."
The Oops, I Did It Again singer has given the ex-contractor a new role – as her social media manager – and several of his children have already stayed with them at her home.
"She really enjoys having youngsters around her again," the source added, "and she's welcomed Paul's ready-made family into her life. With everything she's been through, she sees this as a completely fresh start."
Britney has just made her final court-ordered child support payment to her second husband Kevin Federline for their sons Sean Preston, 19 and Jayden James, 18, who have been living with their father and his new wife in Hawaii.
The star was also previously married – for a mere 55 hours – to childhood sweetheart Jason Alexander after a whirlwind reunion romance in Las Vegas in 2004.
Her third husband, male model Sam Asghari, filed for divorce last year just 14 months after their wedding ceremony at her mansion in front of 60 guests including Madonna, Drew Barrymore and Paris Hilton.
Their union came after the end of her bitterly contested court conservatorship order that gave her father complete control of her finances following a series of public meltdowns in 2007 and 2008.
Another source said: "She deserves peace and happiness at last – and her friends are hoping she'll find them with Paul."
