Britney Spears recently rekindled a relationship with her former handyman-turned-boyfriend, Paul Soliz, but sources say she was initially hesitant to get back together with him.
While their relationship was filled with ups and downs, Britney’s doubts didn’t stem from his criminal history or past allegations of using her for fame.
Instead, the primary concern was his reputation as a “deadbeat dad” and his troubled history with supporting his children.
Romance Rekindled Amid Tensions
In early February 2025, rumors sparked that Britney and Paul were back on after they were seen together at a playground with Paul’s children.
Days later, they appeared to confirm their romance when they were photographed together on Valentine’s Day.
However, a source close to the pop star has told DailyMail.com that Britney has been struggling with the idea of getting too involved with Paul again, particularly due to his past as an absent father.
Feeling Overlooked by Ex-Husband Sam Asghari
While Britney does appreciate that Paul seems to make her a priority in his life, there are lingering concerns about his actions and history.
The source shared that Britney felt a deep sense of neglect during her marriage to Sam Asghari.
She reportedly felt that Sam was often distant, preferring to play video games rather than spending quality time with her.
In contrast, Paul’s attention and affection for her have helped fill that emotional gap, although she is fully aware of the mixed reactions surrounding their relationship.
Raising Concerns Over Paul’s Parenting History
Despite the emotional support Paul offers, there’s no escaping the accusations of him being a “deadbeat dad.”
Britney, who fought hard to rebuild her relationship with her sons, is now dealing with the reality that Paul has been criticized for neglecting his own children.
The source explained that while Britney has tried to support Paul in becoming a more present father, the emotional burden of his past actions still weighs heavily on her.
Stepping Into the Role of Stepmom
Britney has stepped up in her new role, finding joy in spending time with Paul’s children and seeing the kids grow from childhood to young adulthood.
This has been a way for Britney to experience the moments she missed with her own sons, Sean Preston and Jayden Federline, due to the strained years of their relationship.
Friends and Family Express Concerns
Britney’s friends have expressed serious concerns about Paul’s intentions, fearing that he may take advantage of her vulnerable state, as she’s experienced with past relationships.
Despite the concerns, Britney remains unfazed and insists that Paul makes her happy, even though they’ve had their fair share of arguments.
She continues to defend her choices and insists that Paul is the one who truly brings her joy.
A Tumultuous Relationship With a Complicated Past
Britney and Paul’s relationship history is filled with emotional turbulence and public incidents.
After her split from Sam Asghari in August 2023, she was frequently seen with Paul, often involving his children in their outings.
But things took a darker turn in May 2024, when shocking photos surfaced showing Britney in a distressed state.
While reports initially suggested a mental health crisis, Britney later clarified on Instagram that she had simply twisted her ankle and had been harassed by paramedics at her door.
Allegations from Paul’s Exes Surface
Paul’s exes have made serious allegations about his past, claiming he’s failed to support his children.
Nicole Mancilla, one of Paul’s ex-partners, accused him of cheating on her with Britney while also neglecting his responsibilities as a father.
Court records also reveal multiple child support cases against Paul, further complicating his image.
His criminal record includes charges related to firearm possession and disturbing the peace, which also adds to the controversy surrounding his relationship with Britney.
Paul Defends His Actions
Despite the backlash, Paul has defended himself in interviews, stating that he is not a “bad dude” and takes care of his children.
He shared that he owns a business and has custody of his kids, trying to paint a more positive picture of his life after a series of public setbacks.
A Rocky Road Ahead for Britney and Paul
As Britney continues to navigate her personal life with Paul, the challenges surrounding his past may continue to affect their relationship.
Despite her friends’ warnings and her own doubts, Britney remains committed to her choice to be with Paul, holding onto the happiness she finds with him, despite the complicated and sometimes messy circumstances.
