Pop sensation Britney Spears has been spotted in public for the first time since her dramatic split from ex-boyfriend Paul Richard Soliz. In exclusive photos obtained by In Touch, the “Toxic” singer, 42, was seen behind the wheel of her white sports car, texting away with one hand. Dressed in a chic red high-neck blouse, large black sunglasses with white temples, and a messy ponytail, Britney appeared focused on her phone, seemingly unaffected by the paparazzi snapping her every move.
The Split and Its Aftermath
Rumors of trouble in paradise began circulating in early July when Britney started dropping hints about her relationship status. An insider revealed to In Touch that Paul, 37, had been “using her.” “She had fun with him, but she realizes that she can’t trust everyone,” the source disclosed. “She’s learned her lesson. She needs to be more careful, which is why her brother Bryan [Spears] has moved in.”
Bryan Spears’ presence isn’t about monitoring Britney’s every move but helping her maintain a stable routine. “He does hope that just by being there, Britney will make better choices. The good thing is that she trusts Bryan,” the insider continued. However, the source also noted the precarious nature of this trust, given Britney’s history of turning on family members. “Everyone has their fingers crossed that it works out.”

Security Measures and More Drama
In a bold move, Britney instructed her security team to remove Paul from the entry list of her gated community in Thousand Oaks, California. According to another source, Paul didn’t take kindly to this boundary and started “blabbing to everyone about his relationship with Britney, revealing all of her secrets.” The insider added, “He’s tormenting her. No one would be surprised if he sold her story, too. Some even believe he was selling Britney out while he was still with her.”
A Troubled Relationship
Paul was Britney’s first public relationship following her split from ex-husband Sam Ashghari in August 2023. The two initially met when Paul was hired to maintain her house, including housekeeping duties. Their brief romance reignited in April after they were seen driving together in southern California. However, the relationship quickly raised eyebrows due to Paul’s criminal record, and things took a turn for the worse on May 2, when the couple had a massive fight at the Chateau Marmont hotel.
Photos from that night showed Britney looking distressed and barefoot, further fueling concerns about her well-being. Britney addressed the rumors via Instagram, claiming the news was fake and that most of the pictures were of body doubles. “I would like respect at this time for people to understand I am getting stronger every day!! Truth sucks so can someone teach me how to lie???” she wrote. Britney also mentioned twisting her ankle and feeling harassed by paramedics who showed up at her door.
Concerns About Britney’s Well-Being
The day after the altercation, a source from the Los Angeles hotel told In Touch that Britney seemed “completely out of it” that night. “If she wasn’t high on something she was definitely off her meds,” the insider noted, also commenting on Paul’s demeanor. “The guy in blue that was with her, the ‘boyfriend,’ tried to play it cool, but he was angry and definitely frustrated with her. He played it cool when they went outside.”
Moving Forward
Despite the turmoil, Britney is focusing on moving forward. With her brother Bryan by her side and a renewed sense of caution in her relationships, fans are hopeful that the pop icon will continue to get stronger and reclaim control over her life.
