Rumors initially surfaced suggesting a romantic connection between the 41-year-old Toxic singer and Paul, 37, a former housekeeper at her Thousand Oaks residence, shortly after Sam, 28, filed for divorce. This followed Sam's claims of infidelity during their marriage.
Fueling speculations about a romance with Britney, Paul referred to his former boss as a 'phenomenal woman' during a recent court hearing when questioned by Us Weekly.
However, a source close to Britney has informed DailyMail that 'Britney is not dating Paul' but did confirm a brief involvement that occurred after her marriage to Sam had ended. The insider clarified, 'They had a short fling after Sam left, but that was it. Britney hooked up with him twice, and, at the time, [she] did not know about his criminal past. She no longer has any communication with him.'
Court records reveal that Paul has a history of multiple felonies, including possession of narcotics for sale and possession of a firearm, both of which occurred in December 2022 while he was employed by Britney. He also has a record of misdemeanors such as disturbing the peace, child endangerment, and driving without a license. He recently faced allegations of violating his probation in court.
The insider disclosed that Britney's security team did not conduct a proper background check when hiring Paul, and his employment with Britney ended when his criminal history came to light.
Photographs of Britney and Paul together emerged after her split from Sam, who she had been married to for 14 months. They were seen getting into a vehicle together on August 24, heading to a local restaurant in Thousand Oaks. Following her trip to Cabo San Lucas with friends, Paul was present at the airport to pick up Britney, although she reportedly was not aware of his arrival nor had she requested it.
The source emphasized that Britney is presently focused on enjoying her freedom, processing her divorce from Sam, and healing. They added, 'Britney is not dating anyone right now. When she does date again, it is sure as hell not going to be a freeloader, and it is not going to be anyone who needs anything from her other than her time.'
