Pop icon Britney Spears is reportedly facing a difficult emotional period following the final breakdown of her on-again, off-again relationship with Paul Soliz. According to OK! Magazine, the 43-year-old singer has been left feeling isolated and unsettled as she navigates yet another personal setback. “Britney’s relationship with Paul just crashed and burned again,” a source close to the singer revealed. “So she’s single and not happy about it.”
The relationship, which emerged shortly after her highly publicized divorce from actor Sam Asghari in August 2023, is now believed to have been more of an emotional rebound than a serious romantic connection. Insiders suggest Spears was still grappling with the end of her marriage when she got involved with Soliz.
Soliz, a former staff member hired following the termination of Spears’ conservatorship, became romantically linked with the pop star soon after her split from Asghari. But friends of the singer now say the relationship was short-lived and emotionally reactive. “Her romance with Paul was really just a reaction to things falling apart with Sam,” one insider explained. “It was supposed to be a fling.”
While the relationship has ended, the timing of the breakup has added another layer of heartache for Spears. Reports say her emotional state worsened after Asghari went public with his new girlfriend, model and actress Brooke Irvine. “Seeing Sam all in love with a girl that looks so much like a younger version of her is heart-wrenching,” the source shared.
“She doesn’t want Sam back, or at least she says she doesn’t, but she does admit it really sucks to see that he’s just moved on with his life while she’s still stuck trying to get over their divorce.” The insider added that Spears is feeling especially vulnerable now, which could lead to further emotional setbacks. “It’s great that she’s ended things with [Paul], but with Britney it’s very hard to know what will stick,” they said. “She’s been thrown for a loop by having to see those happy pics of Sam and his girlfriend.”
Spears’ close circle remains concerned that the combination of heartbreak and loneliness could tempt her to reconnect with Soliz. “She knows it’s not a healthy situation, but she’s also got nothing to replace it,” said the source. “At the moment, she’s very lonely.” As Spears continues to recover from both a high-profile divorce and a brief, emotionally charged romance, those close to her hope she finds stability and healing in the months ahead.
