Britney Spears and on-off beau Paul Soliz have been keeping a low profile of late, but sources exclusively tell In Touch they're very much an item as she's ignoring loved ones to spend her days and nights partying with him.
"Britney is totally addicted to the attention she gets on social media, and Paul is completely feeding into it," an insider explains. "He's taken on this job as her full-time videographer and social media manager and is always encouraging her to shoot stuff, which he then edits and posts for her. It's the last thing she needs but he's feeding her ego and making himself indispensable in her eyes."
Britney, 42, and Paul, 37, first met when he worked as her housekeeper and their relationship turned romantic in 2023 following her split from ex-husband Sam Asghari. Things between them seemed to fizzle out months after it began, though they rekindled their relationship in April and they were spotted driving in Southern California.
The pair made headlines in May when they got into a massive fight at the Chateau Marmont Hotel. Britney and Paul — who has been charged with multiple misdemeanors that were later dropped and at least one felony in the past — were photographed leaving the property. The "Toxic" singer appeared worried as she exited the venue without shoes.
Britney declared that she was single on July 7 and said she wouldn't "be with another man" for the rest of her life. However, in recent days, Paul's mother-in-law claimed that he took three of his kids to live at Britney's house. His estranged wife, Nicole Mancilla, also filed for divorce after eight years of marriage, In Touch confirmed.
According to the In Touch source, Britney and Paul are "bingeing on booze and junk food and staying up all night together, which means she often sleeps until the middle of the day. A lot of her household staff have been driven off because they can't stand him."

Her brother, Bryan Spears, has "tried hard to convince Britney to get rid of Paul," the source says. "A few times, she's briefly listened and dumped the guy, but he always weasels his way back in. She's now putting him first and pushing Bryan and other people that truly care about her away."
"She swears that this is what she wants," the insider continues. "It's very worrying for obvious reasons, not least because Paul has a terrible track record and a history of dealing drugs. If she doesn't snap out of this and realize he's not good for her, this isn't going to end well. There's just no way around it."
In July, a separate source told In Touch that Britney's 47-year-old brother wants the pop star to distance herself from the toxic people in her life.
"He wants to see her inner circle totally wiped clean," said a source, adding that Bryan opened her eyes to Paul's terrible rap sheet, including a 2004 meth conviction.
"He's raising hell over the fact that this guy was allowed to work for her when he was already a felon," the source said. "Bryan wants a whole lot of changes — everyone from her assistants, drivers, helpers in the house and even her financial advisers."
