Britney Spears says ‘being single is awesome’ amid rumors she’s still dating felon Paul Richard Soliz

Britney Spears said “being single is awesome” amid rumors that she’s dating her controversial ex Paul Richard Soliz.

The “Gimme More” singer shared another one of her dancing videos to Instagram over the weekend and shared the pointed message in her caption, writing, “Beautiful Sunday 🌹 Hopeless, romantic understanding that being single is awesome 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🍒🍒🍒 !!!”

Spears’ not-so-subtle comment comes after a report from Us Weekly claimed that the “Crossroads” star was still dating Soliz, a convicted felon who worked as her housekeeper to “clean toilets, mop floors and pick up trash.”

“Britney and Paul are definitely together,” one source told the publication. “He’s still in the picture.”

A second source also confirmed to the magazine that the pair are romantically involved.

Reps for Spears didn’t immediately return Page Six’s request for comment.

Page Six broke the news in August that Spears, 42, and Soliz were growing close as she navigated her divorce from Sam Asghari, with one insider explaining they were “concerned” with the budding romance.

Soliz’s criminal past includes multiple misdemeanor charges as well as a felony. In April 2014, he was convicted of one count of disturbing the peace.

Soliz, 37, was also charged with child endangerment, which was dismissed due to a plea negotiation, court records show.

In September 2023, Page Six confirmed that the “Toxic” singer had been romancing Soliz; however, one source said that rumors of the pair dating were “false.”

Asghari, 29, filed for divorce from Spears in August, citing irreconcilable differences as the cause of the split, although sources claimed to TMZ that Spears had cheated on the fitness trainer.

The now-estranged pair, who wed at the pop star’s Thousand Oaks, Calif., estate, were married for one year.
